Pulu's massive hungusism vs Highlanders, ignoring clear overlaps, not a flash look for an AB

too bad about AB's current "No Dickheads" policy, they'll have a look at Liam fuckin Coltman and some other useless pricks in camps, why not Hika Elliot?

Same with Ben Tamifuna, those skintight AB jumpers might do his el hefe puku no favours at all but fucking hell he does the business these days

Agree about Elliot DP, I can see him sneaking in the ABs this year, I think he grown up a bit these days.

On Elliott I think it's as much about where his neck's at as his past, present or possible future dickhead quotient & on Big Ben I think the bloke just needs to make up his fucking mind as to whether he wants to play for NZ or Tonga, then stick with that decision.

Damn, he got away, been signed by London Irish:

2 x Chiefs locks out the door in quick succession & I believe Brodie Retaliick is yet to re-sign beyond 2015.

Nosferatu Retallick will stay.

On Symons, the NZRU rugby has a moral, ethical and metaphysical responsibility to drop and deport him ASAP. As we all know, the last time we helped out England like this, they won the RWC.

No one outside of Lahndan wants to go to that dark, dark place again.

Bit disappointed about Piutau going, he only 23 and just got established I think, not sure he will find it going to be too easy to try and crack WC squad for 2019 if he does indeed came back after a couple of years. Maybe Patrick Osborne and James Lowe encouraged him to go as I can see one of these 2 taking and cementing the spot while he is gone. Think Gear may advise him it not that easy to get back into any team when you return.

the more I think about Piutau the more fucked off I get, oh and fuck that "cultural experience and broadening my horizons" bullshit. IT'S THE $$$. "Cultural experiecnce", youre only fuckin 12 years old. You've played for the All Blacks for about 10 minutes. You dont see Sam Cane at the end of the AB bench packing a sook and fucking off to Europe to chase the big bucks. Plus quote from Hansen sounds like some trust issues were broken. Good luck getting on that plane in October if that was the case. Plus pommy bogsnot rugby will ruin the 12-year old concordian prick. 6 months a year under AB tutelage, the sky couldve been the motherfucking limit

Charles Piutau 5 years from now:

Gotta say I agree DP. Ok the boy has decided to take the $s, and I certainly think that his right, just tend to think he has decided he doesn't really want top be the best rugby player he can ne. I would doubt whether he will get WC spot now, especially if Osborne keeps playing like he is,or perhaps James Lowe, Hansen would have to rightly invest in the future for NZ. If he does come back in 2 years I really think he may be passed by other wingers!

following on from that thought I see Hosea Gear named to play in Chiefs development side this weekend. Cant even crack teh match day 23, Heem preferred as bench option.

Osbourne/Lowe seem like "Masaga" type choices for me, the sort of blokes that light it up but, for whatever reason, just never crack the intnl level. Cartel will probably just say fuckit we'll chuck Slade on wherever Beaugen/DCarter/B.Smith arent. Although at test level i suppose you never know until you biff them out there

C.Jane must be quietly rapt at Piutua's dancing dollar sign succumbage

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I reckon only 4 specialist back-3's will go to RWC, 2 of whom will be Savea & Ben Smith (with SBW & either Beaugan or Slade as cover): Piutau would surely have been 3rd on the list so this could be a lifeline for one or both of Dagg & Jane. That said & despite what Shag has said I wouldn't be that surprised if Piutau still goes unless of course someone plays the house down & demands selection.
