Oh, I do hope Whitelocks "sabbatical" will be with Quins. After all, we have that special deal...

OK. I think I've covered every 2018 All Black. Any errors, omissions, updates let me know.

Re: All Blacks post-2019
A few players updated above. Racing apparently wouldn’t give Read a 3 year deal so he’s looking at Japan, as apparently are Crotty, Coles and A. Smith.

Re: All Blacks post-2019
Matt Procter is off to Northampton. That’s a real blow. With Crotty and SBW probably off he could well have become a long term starting All Black.

Re: All Blacks post-2019
I agree it's a blow. And I certainly think he deserved far, far more test opportunities than he got. But he's a centre who, had he stayed, would've been playing in Goodhue's shadow.

Jeff Toomaga-Allen off to Wasps to join Brad "The Plastic Englishman" Shields. Looking like that Japan cap has been lucrative for fringe players.

Retallick, formerly linked with Sale, is now rumoured to be having a sabbatical season in Japan.

Re: All Blacks post-2019
I read somewhere that in this case it will mean that Retallick will go straight into the Japanese season then back into another NZ one, without a break. Good financially but means that over 2 years he will effectively play three seasons.cashead wrote:I'm a big fan of sabbatical seasons, since it's meant that our players get an opportunity to get a proper break, it reduces the team's reliance on specific individuals by challenging the depth available and IMO, Japan is the ideal destination because it means they still get a decent standard of rugby (roughly equivalent to the NPC here) in a short amount of time.

Re: All Blacks post-2019
True, he would basically be packing three seasons into two. Though, as Cashead says, Japan is shorter and much less physically demanding than NZ or Europe. Other franchise stalwarts/fringe All Blacks have managed it before. Guys like Andy Ellis and Matt Todd (I think), for example. Being a front line player Retallick is obviously different, and I imagine his workload in NZ would be managed to accommodate the playing sabbatical.

He said Japan is shorter....
Ma'a Nonu is in action for the Bloos latest pre-season false dawn I see. Is SBW playing at the moment? What use a Nonu and a SBW in the same team?

Scrafton will 100% be starting ahead of Goodhue. Perofeta may also be used at fullback if/when an extra play-maker is required. Also not so sure on Pulu. Ruru may be a better bet as he actually passes the ball sometimes.cashead wrote:In 2015, SBW and Nonu often paired up in the midfield, with Nonu hopping out to 13 and SBW coming in at 12. Looking at the squad, I'd go with a XV of:
1. Tu'inukuafe
2. Parsons
3. Tu'ungafasi
4. Tuipulotu (Co-C)
5. Goodhue
6. Papalii
7. Gibson (Co-C)
8. A Ioane
9. Pulu
10. Black
11. R Ioane
12. SBW
13. Nonu
14. Duffie
15. Nanai

Re: All Blacks post-2019
Japan is shorter than Europe, but that doesn't matter when you're using that season in lieu of your off-season. They'll be playing 20 months straight without a break, if I have it right. Not even an England international gets flogged quite that hard.morepork wrote:He said Japan is shorter....

Re: All Blacks post-2019
On the other hand, Beaver is back at the Chiefs so that’s Beauden’s back-up sorted.
