Ron Cribb?

Can someone tell me where Ron Cribb is playing? I looked at all the S12 rosters and couldn't see him on any NZ team. Has he gone to England or somewhere else? Or is he hurt, or just not picked for any S12 side?

He was an All Black only a couple of years ago, and last August I saw him play in Toronto for the Maori. He looked good to me, and the game program said he was coming back from injury and trying to get back to AB status.

He's a #8, right? I'm sure he'd have trouble beating out Jerry Collins for an AB spot, but I'm surprised he's not playing S12.

Pretty sure he's in Japan, Steve.

Ditto.
Cribb could have been a great player, but he suffered a lot of injuries & his form was pretty erratic. He suffered from a bit of Troy Flavell cheap-shot syndrome, too.
Maybe the best thing he could have done was stay down in Canterbury. They seemed to be able to get him to perform to his potential.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

without flavell , cribb was good.
when he played along side flavell he was dirty.

of the 2 i thought cribb was the better player.
