Bovidae

Holland might be the U20 lock who makes the step up first.

Bones

I think Selby-Rickit would go well if given the chance. 26years old, so about to enter the prime years for a tight forward

I thought Hicks showed well this year and is the same age, looks like he can cover 6 too. But another from Ta$man eh.

Tim

@Bones Guess where he's actually from.

Victor Meldrew

@Frank the coaches like ScoBa and Tupou Vaa'i

I know there's been a need to play the A team as we always have our backs to the wall, but Vaa'i needs more game time and I think the coaches know that.

Hope he gets a decent run in Bled 2.

Josh Dickson would only be 28 in 2023.

I thought he was older than that. Seems like he has been around for ages.

Geez really? I only remember him for like 3 or 4 seasons.

edit: so yeah 5 years at the highlanders. Another Aussie though.

I wouldn't be surprised if my muddled brain has him confused with someone else from years ago. All the Highlander locks look the same to me.

Remembered a story about Sam Darry moving to Auckland and Steve Hansen saying ā€˜congratulations, you’ve just signed a future all black captain’. Anyone else recall this?

Sam Darry's need to be bigger. String-bean locks don't cut it nowadays.

Wouldn't play for the Canes would they?

Of course, both have had great seasons provincially aswell as for the Canes. Walker-Leawere in particular brings plenty of size and mobility which is needed at international level.

Big fan of Walker-Leawere. Just needs some game time for the Canes without the useless Blackwell

Future lock for me:

S Barrett
T Vaii
J Lord
I Walker-Leawere
S Darry
