Good news that he is coming back, maybe he will be selected for the Rugby Championship but that isn't on for a while yet.
I really rate Gigena and think he's vital to Tigers. The Pumas looseheads with Chapparo settling at LH and Mayco Vivas coming through are very strong though. If Gigena forces his way past either of those two I will be very impressed.
I do wonder if playing alongside Montoya will help his international ambitions. He's a very good scrummager, Montoya will get the benefit of that when playing alongside him regularly.

Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

They haven't updated it, it's going to be played from the 7th November to the 12 December, if Covid doesn't return with a vengeance in New Zealand.

I am interested to see how NZ cope with this (compared to a lot of the world) small outbreak but large for NZ, it might help other countries.
So all being well you would expect Gigena back at Oval Park potentially the 28th, but presumably not at the same point Covid tests as the "playing squad" & not at any sort of ready to play fitness.

Depends on what Gigena was able to do in Argentina, if he was able to access a gym then that might not be such an issue. But we'll see.
If the four cases haven't spread and the NZ government have found the source they probably lift the restrictions as expected on Friday, but we'll see, no news yet as to whether the games can go ahead at all.

They have released the teams for the match in Dunedin, so I guess it's a case of we'll see. My guess is that it will just be played behind closed doors...

I once lost 2cm of height on a night out.
I never did find those shoes.

Squats. I lost similar when training for sprints, until I twitched on a set of 300kg.
