Ex-England international George Kruis has agreed to a one-deal with Saracens that will see the company he formed with fellow lock Dominic Day become the club’s official wellness partner. “Both Dom and I are committed to providing the best products available on the market and we are super excited to be partnering with Saracens to make our products available across the teams as the official wellness partner,” enthused Kruis, who played his last game for the London club in January 2020 before heading to Japan.

Kruis has been playing for the Wild Knights where he has one more season left on his deal and he told RugbyPass last month that he is hoping to return to the Premiership for the 2022/23 season once he returns to the UK in May at the end of the 2022 Japanese campaign. Day, meanwhile, has relocated to Dublin since his retirement from pro rugby and has recently taken up grassroots rugby, playing for Malahide in the All-Ireland League.   

A club statement read: “Supporting the men, women and mavericks, fourfive are the latest partner to support all three elite teams at StoneX Stadium. Founded by former Saracens players George Kruis and Dom Day, fourfive aims to help people lead healthier, happier lives through the power of CBD and vitamin supplements.

    “Kruis won three European titles and four Premiership trophies during his time in North London, and Day had a 14-year career at the top level which included over 250 matches.

    “They set up fourfive together after both suffering from a number of injuries as they saw the benefits CBD could bring to assist in their recovery. After having a transformative effect and becoming injury-free, they decided to create the UK’s first tested CBD and vitamin nutrition supplements brand.

    “The former internationals’ premium blends are designed by world-class scientists to fit seamlessly into your daily routine, whether you are taking CBD oil, capsules or vitamins. fourfive will support the players of all three Saracens teams throughout the 2021/22 season with their range of products, looking to help perform at their best in elite level sport.”

    Saracens CEO Lucy Wray added: “We are delighted to welcome FourFive to the Saracens family. Both George and Dom know exactly what this club is all about from their playing days so to see them back again in this capacity is very pleasing for everyone. It is a very exciting partnership for us and we can’t wait to see it grow over the 21/22 season.”

    Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

    Players like Prendergast and Finn Smith already have a few seasons at top club level under their belt and are now test players, at an age when NZ players make their debuts in SR.

    That’s just a difference in standards. You’re confusing SR for being their local domestic comps, where it’s more accurately comparable to Champions Cup, apart from that teams are happy to throw games as it’s in a bit of a limbo in terms of importance atm.


    All these kids have been playing for a comparable NPC team for years now. Sam is no where near ready for tests but he has a great temperament, much like Sextons, that makes it a good choice to speed up his development. He wasn’t even a comparable Super Rugby starter before playing for Ireland, so not a great comparison.


    Fin would be much better example, but then England don’t have 3 world class Test tens in front of him (not that I’d put Beauden their but obviously in terms of young NZ players chances, he is). Would he otherwise have debuted at the same age as Fergus Burke (injury and leaving withstanding), around 24, a couple of years later? England also aren’t as pedantic to who they give jerseys to, in NZ a test jersey is very hard earned for the most part.


    In general I think the effects are as you say, but the only difference is the money involved, as you yourself said, their paths are just as all over the show being loaned out playing for clubs etc. My solution to that, and what you perceive as the problem, would be to introduce university football that utilitizes the large investment they have into high performance sport.

    Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

    JJ and DMac shows how little attention you actually pay to the substance of the articles.

    What do you mean by that? For lack of an answer from you I’d suggest yuo need to look at the game again and then read your article. Because although I’m not going to again but I did quickly review the videos and they all match correctly with my perception.

    JTPL is shifting towards overseas players being JQP in future

    No they’re not, thats a flatout lie Nick. You can find an article on here with their CEO where they want more out of their deals but it’s standard professional sports fair, nothing underhand like the NH does. I find that quite foul that you would share such a view.


    I suppose the new World Club League thats starting would die for the best ABs even for just a year, and probably set them up even better. Mo’unga hadn’t done enough to earn a sabbatical though. This is where NZR needs to start questioning itself. You can’t blame the player if the NZR are not even interesting in offering you a contract. In situations where say NZR aren’t able to reach 70% of the offer I think a great starting point would be for them to be treated differently than someone who just left for money. NZR could say make that player immediately eligible if NZR decide to make a fair offer and they sign to return, with players putting in their overseas contracts a right to leave early if they resign back with NZR.


    Even with Japans fading desire for sabbaticals I still think NZ can make it a good destination and have many reciprocal agreements with JRFU and the JRLO teams. The situation still very much favours NZ and Australia but it’s upto them to make the most of it or the JRFU won’t see any reason to be the ones always giving the favours.
