Am I imagining things or does Simon Parker of the Chiefs suddenly look like the answer for NZ at #6? Does the tight shitwork and can do the open field stuff too.

Would have him over Dogshot Finau (and of course, Doghead Frizzle) in a second

Same for Southland, likely among the best across NPC, plenty of blokes with dogs down here, and 10,000 expected for their fixture against Otago.

Yep was pleased yesterday, one of fellas from Golf club rung me to get me and wife's seat numbers etc at Yarrows Stadium. After saying he didn't really go to games etc because of price of beers, he said geez I just got to go up to the games. Each new one is another going to NPC (the best comp in my opinion).

He looks the goods DP, I think in our loosies who they leave out and not who to pick . I have a awful feeling with Blackadder back on field this week, Razor and Ryan will put him in there somewhere.

35-man AB squad for France series to be named on June 23 at Coastal RFC in the 'naki.

Club alumni include "Smiley" Barrett & his boys.

NZR ain't going there to announce a new AB skipper.

Were never going to name a new skipper anyway WOB, with how teams run now, I not sure it's that much of a biggie anyway. The captain doen't realy set the team pattern or anything, or even decide on kicks at goal or anything, the are all done by leadership groups etc.

Just out of interest Coastal club alumni also include Mark Robinson.

In terms of squad make-up I'm thinking:

Prop x6 or 7 (see Loosies)

Hooker x 3

Lock x4 or 5 (see below)

Loosies x 7 or 6 - Parker is 197cm so could be a 5/6 bolter? Or would they want a seventh prop in case of late-breaking injury? Bearing in mind some of the props will be coming back from recent injury e.g. Newell

HB x3

5/8 x 3 at least two of whom can play 15

Midfield x 4 or 5 depending on if all three 5/8 can play 15 and/or how many can also play wing (Ioane for sure, possibly Tavatavanawai)

Outside backs x 5 or 4 as above

Was a bit tongue in cheek on account of all the ASav hype.

Forgot Robinson was from that particular corner of 'naki.

I don't do Insta or Facebook but my Google feed has thrown up (& I mean that in the most fundamental way possible) speculation linking RMo to Moana: I thought it was part of his sabbatical deal that he return to CruSadists? If nor fair enough but if so a deal is a deal is a deal, eh.

Mo'unga isn't on a sabbatical is he? He just signed a normal 3 year deal to go play for Toshiba. I can't see how he would be locked in to any specific team if he chose to return at the end of that deal. That said, the Crusaders not extending O'Connor's deal suggests they might want him back (they'd be crazy not to) and think they're a chance of getting him.

So sponsor has been found to replace INEOS, I know Toyota came on board and now they got another, I think Toyota have the trainingg gear and Gallagher Insurance will now go on the shorts.

NZ Rugby announce global company Gallagher as new sponsor after exit of Ineos​

Sounds like Shannon Frizell wants one more year at Toshiba before returning to NZ for a crack at RWC selection.

Scott Robertson receives boost over All Blacks' problem position as 2023 Rugby World Cup star to follow Richie Mo'unga in returning home

Shannon Frizell says it is "likely" he will commit his immediate future to Toshiba Brave Lupus, but the All Blacks flanker has the World Cup in his sights.
