Waisake Naholo released by London Irish after an injury plagued two seasons. Has only played 40 minutes of a reserve game in the last 18 months.

London Irish confirm departing players | 18th June 2021 | News

London Irish can today confirm the players that will depart the Club following the conclusion of the 2020/21 campaign.

Waisake Naholo must have had the least successful NH club career of any ex-AB that went north.

@margin_walker right leg it was...

Broken leg 10 weeks ago ... now stepping out for the All Blacks

Ten weeks after breaking his right leg, New Zealand winger Waisake Naholo will make just his second test appearance – in a Rugby World Cup game against Georgia on Friday.

Mason Emerson (Hawke's Bay) has signed a 2-year contract with French club Valence Romans, which has just been relegated from the Pro D2 to the Championnat Fédéral Nationale. They're on a recruitment spree, no doubt in the hope to earn promotion back to Pro D2, next year.

UNE DIX-SEPTIÈME RECRUE POUR LES DAMIERS !

@gt12 I used to play with Lovejoy and he's coaching down the club so I'll ask!

Vince Aso has signed with Panasonic Wild Knights

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 So the same club as Lachlan Boshier.

Mark Abbott is moving there, too, from Sanix Blues.

And more importantly Tim Southee is still a loyal Chiefs supporter.

@arhs Much to the disappointment of Sir JK!

Sad to see him go, was he injured this season?

[Stargazer]

@darren Not sure whether this is a rethorical question, or not, but no, he wasn't injured.

[mikey07]

@darren no he wasn’t “apparently” he struggled for form and to get back to where he was 2016-2019, but more of a case of Holland having to justify their 5 year deal of “the next big thing” Billy Proctor.

[Higgins]

@mikey07 Pity he does not have to justify things to all the season ticket holders. You could throw in the loyal purchase your ticket on the day brigade as well. Come to think of it first and foremost should be the financial members of each and every rugby club in Wellington and Horowhenua-Kapiti who between them hold over 50% of the ownership of the outfit.

[mikey07]

@higgins how quickly they’d be all down the road if this was the states, I hate throwing the boot into a franchise I’ve supported since I was 9 but somethings definitely rotten with the organisation. Nothing like rewarding failure with a new contract extension.

[Higgins]

@mikey07 I have no such problem in venting my frustration at them! By the way it's Axemen v Wainui Pressies this weekend (weather and ground availability permitting) so might run into you up in the Isherwood Lounge after the game!!!!!
