He is long term injured out for RWC
Think has been decided he is to concentrate on full back on his return
I informed the forum of this injury some months ago.

Big game about to kick off in Wellington which really kicks off the World Cup build-up. A resurgent South Africa vs an All Blacks team that looks more vulnerable than expected coming into this World Cup
Would there still be interest in this yoke?
Yeah - more for the clues to World Cup performance I’d say though. Teams are on the wind up now to it
Huge in the Antipodes.
Good start for SA. AB’s already giving up a couple of penalties and ref talking to them about discipline
South Africa physicality unsettling New Zealand.
South Africa looking impressive. Wonder when is the last time a NZ side was held scoreless in a half. Ireland will have their work cut out after the wc pool is over
These are the two best teams in the world.

SA just kicking too much when line is in sight. Straight out of the Erasmus Munster playbook

Is Wellington a Cricket ground
Yeah - need tries to beat the ABs and they’re playing conservative for all their dominance
It’s used for cricket as well. Built about 20
years ago to replace the old Athletic Park.

Pollard misses a kick he should have nailed. 9-0 lead would have been handy.
Lovely looking ground
