Brumbies release Wallaby Enever on 'compassionate grounds'

Blake Enever

The Brumbies have confirmed that Wallaby Blake Enever has been granted a release on compassionate family grounds effective immediately. The 28-year-old played 49 Super Rugby matches for the Brumbies after arriving in 2015 and was picked for the Wallabies during their 2017 campaign.

Enever has been rehabilitating a lower leg injury earlier in 2020, which prevented him from taking to the field for the club this season.

Brumby number 176, Enever also played 44 times for the Canberra Vikings in the National Rugby Championship as well as lining up for Easts Rugby Club in the John I Dent Cup.

Former Brumbies lock Enever said: “I’d really like to thank the Brumbies organisation for being so understanding of my situation and allowing me to be closer to my family at this time.”

“The Brumbies gave me an opportunity back in 2015 and I’ve got nothing but great memories of my time pulling on the jersey.

“It’s a really special club and I’d also like to thank the community and supporters for welcoming me and making me feel at home Canberra, especially those involved at Easts Rugby Club.”

Brumbies coach Dan McKellar said: “Blake was a great contributor to the club over a number of years and he’s a really decent person, so when he asked to be closer to his family during these tough times we understood.”

“We wish Blake and his family all the best in the future and they will always be welcome here at the Plus500 Brumbies.”

TJ Perenara clarifies reference to the Treaty in All Blacks' Haka

Nope you're both wrong. Absolutely 100% wrong. You two obviously know nothing about NZ history, or the Treaty which already gives non-Māori "equal" rights. You are ignorant to what the Crown have already done to Māori. I've read it multiple times, attended the magnificent hikoi and witnessed a beautiful moment of Māori and non-Māori coming together in a show of unity against xenophobia and a tiny minority party trying to change a constitutional binding agreement between the Crown and Māori. The Crown have hundreds of years of experience of whitewashing our culture, trying to remove the language and and take away land and water rights that were ours but got stolen from. Māori already do not have equal rights in all of the stats - health, education, crime, etc. The Treaty is a binding constitutional document that upholds Māori rights and little Seymour doesn't like that. Apparently he's not even a Māori anyway as his tribes can't find his family tree connection LOL!!!


Seymour thinks he can change it because he's a tiny little worm with small man syndrome who represents the ugly side of NZ. The ugly side that wants all Māori to behave, don't be "radical" or "woke", and just put on a little dance for a show. But oh no they can't stand up for themselves against oppression with a bill that is a waste of time and money that wants to cause further division in their own indigenous country.


Wake up to yourselves. You can't pick and choose what parts of Māori culture you want and don't want when it suits you. If sport and politics don't mix then why did John Key do the 3 way handshake at the RWC 2011 final ceremony? Why is baldhead Luxon at ABs games promoting himself? The 1980s apartheid tour was a key example of sports and politics mixing together. This is the same kaupapa. You two sound like you support apartheid.
