Congrats to DP, Kiwi M, zer0 & any other Auck supporters out there, it's been a while so enjoy.
Fox admits Ioane has proved them wrong in the final weeks of the provincial competition, but the onus remains on the loose forward to continue his form for the Blues.
"He is really sticking it up us a little bit, which is exactly what we wanted," Fox told Sunday Sport on RadioLIVE. "We made our decision around Akira and he has given us a response.
"He has done exactly what we wanted - we wanted him to show us that he is willing to learn and do some things that we think he needs to do to become a test-quality player, and he is making great strides.
"We just need to see that in Super Rugby next year."
KiwiM, you boys must be a bit pleased with how promising Plummer looks too, that was one bloody mature performance for a kid at 10 in a final! I am prepared to say there not many 10s of that age anywhere that could of handled that pressure so well, not sure if he signed by blues , but by christ he would be in my squad everyday of the week, and in a year or two looks a good starting 10 at super level!
