......Jake White, team manager Tony Thorpe - who knew Slade through their past association with the Crusaders - and Brumbies players visited him in hospital while others offered their commiserations via Twitter. Reading this on NZ news site. I just thought it worthwhile to put in a thread...

Well the All Blacks have lost Jerome Kaino, he's announced he off to Japan at end of year, and with shoulder injury keeping him out of S15, we probably won't see him play in this part of world. A bloody good player, who at 28 has decided he needs to put family first, so although I sad to see him...

I was real sad to hear that Jock Hobbs' battle with cancer is over and he passed away today. Hobbs was a rugby man who was a bloody good player (AB captain) and then went on to become one of NZ's best administrators. I enjoyed watching him play, No 7 for those who didn't know, until head...

Just wondering who the young players that are exciting people from S15 teams. ie: In NZ teams I have been very impressed with Bleyendel (10) from Crusaders looks to have quite a bit of time to make decisions etc Aaron Smith (9)good decisions and very quick pass, and Sopoaga (10) from Highlanders...
