[QUOTE="darwin_23, post: 155742"] Thorn has sighed with Tasman for next season, making him eligible to be selected for the Crusaders. I'm not certain that he is a definite to make the Crusaders squad give the strength of locks now in the region, with Ali Williams, Ross Filipo, Issac Ross, Michael Paterson, and Keven O'Niell all quality locks, and both Thorne and Reid flankers capable of covering lock. I'd have thought that Williams and Filipo were certainties, while I'd be surprised if he was selected ahead of Ross who has had and outstanding season for Canterbury. It would be close between him and Paterson as to who gets the fourth lock position (if they even take four locks...). Given he hasn't played rugby union for a number of years he may miss out...(though I'm sure the Chiefs could do with a lock of his quality...) [/QUOTE]
