    Anti exodus. Good news. I reckon razor should challenge himself, get out of his comfort zone, and coach another SR team. I nominate the Canes!

    The Canes lost half their homegrown ABs and half their support base the last time they parachuted in a Cantab coach. Probably best he goes to the bottom of the table Chiefs.

    I'd be more comfortable if the news was that he had actually signed with NZR already. This is just an article about the negotiations.

    I don't think he'll go anywhere else but the Crusaders, but if he'd go anywhere else, I reckon the Highlanders would be more likely (although I'd prefer the Canes).

    To be fair, that particular Cantab had no head coaching experience and couldn't break dance.

    Yeah, there's a reason I want him to come to the Chiefs. 😉

    Also, welcome back.

    We already knew that Michael Allardice and Tiaan Falcon had signed with Toyota Verblitz. That has now been confirmed by the club.

    Also signed by Toyota: Rob Thompson.

    Edited to add that in that list is also Charlie Lawrence. I understand he's a former Hamilton Boys player, who has come through the BOP academy. Can anyone confirm? He played for Kobe Kobelco Steelers during the 2018-19 and 2019-2020 seasons.

    Haven't the WRFU been stockpiling superstar halfbacks and first fives from the Auckland 1A competition for a few years now? Wonder whatever become of them?

    A few players have signed with Kamaishi Seawaves, a club that competes in the Japanese Top Challenge League (2nd tier of the Japanese competition). IIRC, some or all of these players already played overseas in either France or the MLR:

    @Stargazer I was right I heard this was a possibility last year from that clown off the farming show Sam Casey.

    If there was a "Come back home" thread, then this could figure in it : "Brad Shields to get back to NZ after the Premiership final".

    Not yet. I read it in Midi Olympique. They've been wrong a few times in the past but they aren't used to send fake news.
