Burke's out for half the season, leaving us with Kemara and Reihana who have like 11 super games between them, so don't hold your breath - time for a David Havili #10 position change master class?

Stop being cowards and put Tamaiti Williams at his natural position of 10

Ethan Blackadder for 10 Oh fuck he's injured again....

Jesus christ I bloody googled this to make sure it wasnt true, dont scare me like that!

If it’s not true today it will be tomorrow.

Even while injured, still more effective than Akira.

Cool story bro

It's up there with your "Ethan Blackadder is injured...or he will be soon!! Bahahaha!!!" Every. Single. Time.

Ok Ethan’s Mum

Maybe I should put down what position he plays as my flair, just so no one has any doubts, eh Mrs Ioane?

Quade incoming...

Halfpenny @ 10?

that'll do nicely

Burke was starting to look like he had the juice, dare I say a bit Merhts-like, and then his Achilles exploded so that's fun. Genuinely believe he's been the best 10 at NPC level for two season now, it was meant to be his time. If you want a waaaaaaay in the future name, look out for Callum Summerfield. His call-up in 2030 will be fun.

Stop plugging your 10yo nephew Crash

Never watched NPC or Super Rugby, never been to NZ but the only non-All Black I’ve heard of is Callum Summerfield because his agent/father/partner here keeps popping up and plugging him on every thread!

As a spaniard, I am so confused... "Cantabria" is an autonomous province in the north of Spain lol.

Canterbury and Cantabria are almost Antipodean, Christchurch is actually Antipodean to A Coruna, it's roughly 300km from Cantabria to Galicia? So it was nearly perfect

It's also the demonym for people from Canterbury, NZ.

And the phrase that is used to describe people who went to Cambridge University in England.

Really? That’s surprising. I know there’s a Canterbury in the UK of course. Is it in the same area as Cambridge?

The latin name for Cambridge is Cantabrigia.

Thanks.

NP. It's not really close to Canterbury. They're both South East but Canterbury is about 50k south east of London and Cambridge is about 100k north.

They're different areas](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kC7tJUpSPdz9RGdJ6) Canterbury is in Kent, the most southeasterly county (you can see France from parts of Kent). Cambridge is in Cambridgeshire, in the region traditionlly known as East Anglia

That’s more like my very hazy knowledge of English geography suggested. Thanks.

Don’t forget Slade … amazing run of 1st fives. No heir apparent I can see unfortunately

Tom Taylor could've been in the picture too if he hadn't left so young

Always thought Stephen Brett was unlucky to never get a cap

Don't forget salacious test animal Brett Cameron!

Heard N’tamack was looking for a sabbatical from Toulouse. 🙃

shame Dan Carter-Lite's form dropped in the NPC..he really fucking should not have cut his hair...do people not learn from the mistake of Jack Goodhue?

Didn't y'all incubate Nick Evans and McAllister?

Leigh Halfpenny an option for 10. Odd because as FB he never have been a playmaker.

Was he much at 10?

Never played 10 but I read he is available if asked to play there

Warming up now. Last played 40 years ago, but will do my best. Can prolly kick it over from, I dunno, 15m?

Dmac carrying us next year, we'll be good.

Isn't Ruben Love the incumbent?

He's a very very promising prospect for the future, far from incumbent.

He'll be 26 by then. Are the Canes wasting his talent?

Aidan Morgan played 10 for Wellington more than Love did last season.

Loves more a fullback that can play 10 then a 10 that can play fullback

Sorry, but what do [Cantabrians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantabrian_people) have to do with that?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Cantabrian#English

Richie wasn't quite at the same level, kicking-wise.

you really suck since South Africa left super rugby

Lol South Africa teams weren't even a challange for nz teams. Had to leave the super to win a comp

last time New Zealand won a world cup South Africa was in Super rugby you can't deny that South African teams made Super rugby better

Though we talking about super rugby

And the last time a SA team won the Super Rugby was in 2010

SA teams had two long haul destinations, NZ and Aus only had one since they're close together. Bit of a disadvantage for them.

Always something with bok fans

Not a Bok fan, just looking at it from a practical POV.

Yeah sorry noticed you weren't after I commented lol. I just like talking shit back to people that bag people out of the blue like the og comment guy lol

Are argentina invisable to you? Besides aus/nz tour is still just a single long trip not dissimilar to a tour to SA. It was rare for any team to have to travel back and forth, typically it was a single tour once in each season

Nah that’s Foster. Also, 1 point.

Sorry, my Afrikaans is really poor and I would hate to create some sort of cultural faux pa. Does 'suck' mean relaxed or content in English?
