Monday funday.

It was always fun playing 10 off a c-mack line out. You could bank on a 90% chance of winning it, and that was off the opposition throw.

Not a bad chip n chase either. He'll be the first to tell you he won a primary school championship on eden Park as a first five.

Big moment tonight as I presented Tom "the franchise" Dunlop with a blues development jersey.

I'm yet to see him play a game, but he looks the goods, and most importantly has the right attitude.

He is a 15, and although I mainly played 10/12, I did make my prem and Auckland colts starting debut at 15. I'm hoping I can teach him a few tricks of the trade, on and off the field 🤫

At the same age, he is heavier and faster, so thinks he must be better. We'll see 👀

Naming himself "the franchise" he has the confidence, which is a great start.

Welcome to Arnold, and True North Rugby Mr Dunlop.

Those that know me, know I'm all about the hustle. My goal is to find a Canadian back who can make it in super rugby in NZ.

Has it happened? Can it happen? Will it happen...

If I had to put money on it, from what I've seen and worked with in Canada, ish the fish is my pick. Thomas Isherwood

Canadians, who should I know about? Any diamonds in the rough? Or maybe a rough one in the diamonds...

Happy to help anyone looking for extra skill work, get in touch.

Good luck to team Canada in their game vs Kenya on Sunday as they attempt to qualify for the RWC in Japan next year.

First TNR competition is to pick the winning team and margin in this Sunday's game, prize is a piece of TNR merchandise signed by Evan Olmstead, fresh off his man of the match 100 minute effort in the win with Auckland in the Mitre 10 cup final.

To enter post a comment below. 1 attempt each, 1st correct answer wins.

Let's hope Evan can carry that form on and help lead Canada to victory.

GO CANADA!
