rumoured lifemi mafi from taranaki to otago

 

[Sanchez]

yea thats because they couldnt get tuitavake from harbour

 

[douglasallen91]

mafi would be a fool not to go to otago, not like hes going to get ahead of umaga, smith and nonu at the canes

 

[bayrep]

going to Otago doesnt seem like much of a prize either, players dont seem to progress once they land in the Otago team.

add to that names like tuipolotu, n mauger and tamati ellison

It's not like guys like Newby and Evans became All Blacks while playing down south.
