McCaw thinks just playing for the AB's should be enough to stem the player drain..

“it’s quite a hard team – when you’ve had a taste of it – to turn your back on.”

Doesn’t seem to be!

If the likes or Barrett and Retallick are on their way out (even if only temporarily) then the path is becoming easier.

I agree Monte , I don't think anyone expected established AB's to come this way , in fact it was more likely that younger players like Marcus Smith , Gabs Ibitoye etc would go the other way and similar age players come to us .

see this article from last march

"Harlequins are not expected at this stage to instantly bring in a number of high-profile All Blacks, with the partnership instead seeing younger New Zealand talent making the move north to gain valuable experience in Europe at an important early stage of their careers "

Nev went down to NZ but with Gussie coming in And the World Cup in Sep Inthink we have to wait and see if it is a damp squib or a live squib!

Or even a damp squid

I think the squib will make more of a sizzle and bang than a squid .. ( unless you put it in a frying pan )

That's so bad that even Deadly wouldn't repeat it!
