Special thread for european clubs... xzxrofl

[Gunner]

McKenty, Munro, Moa, Hall....off the top of my head

[Bones]

S Cowan, Levave, Naikitini, G Robinson, Horrell, M Johnson, Nauopu....

[jauzy19]

I don't see Ben Atiga too (as well as last year). You know what he's doing ?

[Higgins]

Johnny Leota, Pehi Te Whare, Paul Perez

[Nepia]

WTF - Moa didn't get a contract????
I thought the Auk v Waikato game would have got him the spot alone. That was probably the most dominant game by an NZ halfback all year.

He went overseas a couple of years ago.. I assumed he was in France?

Apparently he played in that Tsunami charrity game in Auckland recently and looked quite big

I think Perez missed out purely because he was a naughty boy and smashed the missus..he was looking good to get one over David Smith otherwise..

Nah, he took time off to study. Openly said had lost the passion but i believe Akld/Blues left the door open if he wanted to resume his career. Suggest he has closed that door and moved onto better & brighter things than rugby.

[Nepia]

Moa, Horton, Naoupu, Leota would be the most unlucky of that bunch.

[Samurai Jack]

The games I saw Moa play he was very average. Good footballer but poor halfback if you know what I mean.

[shark]

Atiga played a charity game a few weeks ago as a first step to resuming his playing career for Auckland and the Blues.

Has he actually said he was coming back? That's good news if so, despite some of the comments on this thread he was a quality player - especially at Super 14 level. Looked really chunky in that Tsunami game, will need to trim up a lot.

[rocket]

Sam Tuitupou? xzxunknown

[Belly]

Wider Squads are picked when? i believe they will bring Mees in to the Highlanders squad as mentoring role.

An English club was talking about signing up Meeuws a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry did not realise that, totally inexcuseable in this country, or anywhere for that matter. David Smith is not exactly squeary clean for that matter with his DIC conviction either.

Daniel Ramsay - Wellington lock

Perez>Hoeata
Renata>Nanai
Te Moana >Jacob Ellison
Umaga Marshall>Patterson

[Red Beard]

Toby Lynn mised the Chiefs cut. IMO he didnt deserve to be there on form but must have been in the Chiefs for two or three seasons now so it is abit of a surprise. They must really rate Romana Graham though who is a real big hua but I didnt exactly see him ever set the world alight this season either.

[Kirwan]

Can someone be bothered to make a starting XV of those that missed out? Be interesting to see how strong it is.

[Cyclops]

There are a couple of attempts in the thread already.

Think that side is probably stronger than the same one we could make of those lucky to make it... eusa_whistle

That side would probably beat whatever Melbourne can muster up.
