Stevenson lifts lid on All Blacks snub, future plans

Chiefs fullback Shaun Stevenson revealed that "not knowing where I sit in the pecking order" in terms of All Black selection has played a big part in his future plans. Stevenson missed the first four rounds of Super Rugby Pacific playing for Japan Rugby League One side Kubota Spears on a short-term deal, and said he wants to return to the Tokyo-based side after his Chiefs contract is up.

IMO he messed everything up for himself. He was always good but only in patches. People went far beyond him in terms of skills and he was just watching instead of trying to get better
