Rumor has is that the Chiefs have signed Jack Debreczeni.

Hurricanes and Highlanders are the names I've heard. Presumably the Blues are interested too, but who knows with Tony Hanks and Umaga ... Abel is a nephew of the Goings, and is a late bloomer due to taking time off to do several Mormon missions. Seems to have bloomed this year. :)

Jack Whetton has been really good for Auckland. High workrate, strong defence and ball carrying. Not slow either. Much improved since his time with the Brumbies. Being chased by NZ Super Rugby teams from what I've heard.

James Dargaville has joined North Harbour for the Mitre 10 Cup (NPC), and is starting the first game at centre. Any opinions on his ability at 13?

I've heard from a couple of sources that Akira is off to the Hurricanes. Read today that Rieko might be off too.

This might be the last time the Ioanes play for the Blues at Eden Park.

Agreed. Certainly better than playing in Japan. I thought he was pretty good in 2016, and was very unlucky not to get more time at 10 last year (behind the mediocre Garden-Bachop). Looking forward to watching him play for Northland.

Winning the 2015 World Cup made NZ rugby fans soft and complacent. We were poor in this series, and shouldn't bloody lose at home. We lost to Ireland last year and were dire on the EOYT. We were flattered by historically poor Australian and South African teams. All Black teams should not...
