Was surprised Digby still had the pace in his legs

^^^^^^^^ a bit of both: hurt his hip on Day 1 & still sore next morning so wasn't risked on Day 2.
You & me both, that try v Reds was like a 2011 time warp. Whether he can produce that kinda pace & power week in, week out will be the question, tho.

I went both days and loved it. The quality of play improved as teams got a deal for the game. 10's is a great preseason tournament style. Allows players to show off some skills but also play to patterns some coaches want. Was great to see the Chiefs get up after the passing of Luakai.
Loved the interaction of the players and coaches with the crowd.
Sat in the Heineken Hill section and it was pretty entertaining. The 4 beers as part of the ticket was a good start to the day on Saturday too.

Memories of him standing off Quade's inside shoulder, taking a pop pass, and making plenty of metres

Thor got Digby good in a tackle that got a bit messy/awkward as they players hit the ground. Digby put his hand up straight away and was subbed. I wouldn't mind betting that tackle knocked him around more than he let on. Great to see him playing like he was back in 2011. Not so great that it's not for the Reds.
Anyone know if the 60 Test cap rule applies to Digby? I mean I know he has less than 60 caps but is that test applied only if they are not registered with the ARU or is it if they aren't playing Super Rugby?

I dont think there's any rule at this stage. But it would be pretty stupid to treat ANY Aussie playing anywhere in Super Rugby as inelegible.
Let alone a bloke good enough to make a starting side in NZ. Presuming of course that he does. Not sure he'd make the WBs but no reason he wouldnt make the squad and just take it from there.

I think it's such a rare scenario as well, how many Wallabies have played for Saffa or Kiwi Super a Rugby teams in the past.. if he is good enough then he is worth a shot, at least to give the inside word on the Crusaders camp

Pretty sure he is still considered an overseas player and would need to qualify under Giteau Law.

Great memory. Let's hope we don't see it again this season.

He is a Crusaders player though - he'll get away with it somehow

Jesus, Spencer has gone down the Matt Dunning route of looking fitter than he did in his playing days!
