I forgot about Mata! How could I? unless he's coming in straight away to cover Watson at the RWC? I think Smith is too good to be a squad player though

He talks about Tigers despite being on the short bench! I hope he does well but given his injuries it would be a NO NO for a return to Tigers, there again he has returned to play and I wish him well, hoping David Denton makes a successful and safe recovery also.

It makes sense that he is only World Cup cover.

Marcell Coetzee and Cobus Reinach recalled to a Springboks training camp after international wilderness, both deserved call ups as well as that of Toulouse’s uncapped Elstadt.

The NZ Radio Sport Breakfast can confirm Warren Gatland will coach Chiefs Rugby in 2020, 2022 and 2023, with a year off to coach the British and Irish Lions in 2021.

Must be his way of saying he wants the AB job.

South Leicester got relegated from the national leagues this season but Pohe was meant to be a shining light for them in a poor season.happywomble wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 2:11 pm Gosh, I remember Javiah Pohe! He has signed for Plymouth.

It will be interesting to see how he does at Plymouth, they did well last season but Nat 1 is a brutally long season. Pohe looked a potential wrecking ball at one point.
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
Was very surprised at this, still quite a good team at the Chiefs: All Blacks Cane, Retallick, Lienert-Brown, McKenzie as well as the up-and-coming Fijian No 8 Pita Gus and Canadian Tyler Ardron.strawclearer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 8:35 pm The NZ Radio Sport Breakfast can confirm Warren Gatland will coach Chiefs Rugby in 2020, 2022 and 2023, with a year off to coach the British and Irish Lions in 2021.

According to a mate in NZ Gatland will NEVER get the AB job ,he couldn't emphasize it enough.
