Marika! 2019 John Eales medalist!

Just posted this in the Rebels thread and remembered that this thread was a thing: Former Rebel and Wallabies prop Toby Smith has opted to retire after a series of concussions. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/11/12/super-rugby-rebels-hurricanes-smith-retiring

Luke Jones, Matt Philip, Billy Meakes, and Gus Cottrell all named to play for the BaaBaas against a Fiji xv, Brazil, and a Wales xv (not all at the same time) :)

Yep, 2017. They were both on short term, injury cover contracts. Necessary as Totality Tony had 40% of the playing list in team rehab at the time. IIRC, Sinclair got a fair bit more game time than Miller.

It's gonna be a Frenchman.

During one of the commentary bits, Stuart Barnes mentioned that the NH clubs basically vetoed any notion of the RWC starting any later.
