Maybe the Scots are sniffing around Mathis too!

the guy who is supposedly locked in to the ABs 13 spot where he is?
According to?

You'd be pretty frustrated if you were an actual 7 in that squad.
Kellow should feel the most annoyed.

@Chris yeah honestly he could be having his tit pulled but I thought it was too good not to share. Either way I think the Crusaders will thump the tahs
Maybe they are trying to flush out spies by releasing bad intel?
Maybe not 
Leicester Fainga'anuku, at 7 this will be interesting one of his strengths is getting on to the ball for turn overs he is hard to move.
This may go down in history as the biggest most stupid mistake EVER made by the Crusaders, or a piece of pure genius.
Intriguing to say the least.
I have no idea which one it will be.

ah yes good point.

Or neither of these two things and a footnote in future.

I think it's an interesting punt. He has quite a high error rate though - particularly around defence which isn't ideal for 7.
There are virtually no trad 7s on SR rosters atm.
The coaches dont seem to be deeming them as essential, and did not bother with any of the NPC25 7s.
Was wondering how the teams were going to fill this position as the season rolled on.
So a move like this is not overly surprising.
The SR26 hookers are starting to look more like a trad 7 than the other SR26 looseforwards do.
Leicester will be fine; except maybe at lineout time, that might be worth a watch.
Someone like Mathis probably would have had more chance at making a full SR roster this season as a winger.

I know which way I'm leaning.

Thats a fair call actually. The only outright 7s getting gametime currently would be Kirifi and Lasaqa.

Was guna mention them as the only two.
Good to see that someone else is right on it.

Getting serious FOMO atm, looks like it's going to be a superb three days.

Yeah mate, I'm heading along
'The Crusaders have lost their last three Super Rugby Pacific matches against Australian opposition; a fourth consecutive defeat in this game would be their outright longest losing run against Australian teams in Super Rugby history.'
