If Ngani gets left out of the AB's world cup squad it will be an injustice. Hardest running 2nd five in NZ at the moment. Hope you have your best super campaign yet so the selectors have no option but too pick you. Hurricanes fan through thick and thin.

Good to see him come from the hood to where he is now

[@b2bkiwistyle291]

Just wondering., what will happen if you were still with the warriors? I guess moving to Union was a perfect choice young man. All the best.

Shot bro.

[@stjosephwilliams]

I bet you Steven Kearny is wondering why the F#@K did we lose this guy ? Who responsible who ?

[@deevita7459]

One of the biggest mistakes warriors ever made was letting go of ngani, can’t believe they chose to keep Konrad over him. But to most that would have been a set back but ngani has turned it into the ultimate blessing. I don’t really like watching rugby but I try to catch his highlights every week. Hope he cracks the World Cup squad this year.

Honestly think this dude should start ahead of crotty and ALB but they all have there strengths and weaknesses.

[@stanking5803]

Humble begginings brother your mum and dad will be proud you are the man

[@nzbomber685]

Meannn broo to much ..all the best for 2019 +😄🤩

[@timrogers2045]

Ngani is the epitome of what a world class centre is capable of delivering on the rugby field, and, barring injury, is a 'given' for RWC 2019 I reckon.

This guy was an absolutely gifted rugby player. He was treated poorly by rugby officialdom in New Zealand right from day 1 from his schoolboy days through to misssing going to the World Cup in Japan. If he played for Canterbury, went to Christ College etc etc, would he been overlooked. Answer=0.
