Here is Thomas and Toby with Loosehead Prop - Wyatt Crockett - at our clubrooms today. The club had a bit of a celebration for Wyatt to show him our support and pride at him being from our club. He has played for the Crusaders for the past 2 seasons, and our Senior Division 1 team before that.
Other club members that have gone on to be All Blacks include Leon MacDonald, Brad Thorn, Shayne Phillpot and Jon Preston.
Congratulations Wyatt! You deserve it.

Hi Rob
Wyatt is really tall for a Prop, but not stocky. He did a lot of work on his core strength in order to make his game better as his height was a problem for him at the start of his career.
He is in the starting squad for the game against Italy on Saturday 27th, Al is taking the boys, I'm staying home in the warm!
I hope you have a great time in France and Oh yes, please come to NZ, you could tie it in with the World Cup in 2011! We would love to have you and I'm sure my sister in Nelson would too, no trip to NZ is complete without a trip to Nelson.
We will meet up in the future, I just know it!
