The 24-year-old spent nine years at Wasps before signing for the Perth-based side in 2023.

so he had been part of the Wasps system since he was 13.

(Just correcting your maths, coz everyone loves that: 15 ... but your point still stands.)

@booboo I went by him signing with Force last year, being younger last year and all

Fair.

Child prodigy nonetheless.

Kids are signed into academies over here all the time.

Yeah, don't confuse signed with Wasps to mean playing with Wasps first team!

Harlequins have quite a few of my son's friends on their roster. And he's 12.

Former NZ U20s player. Thought he was a big loss for Harbour.

Just been announced in Ireland that Jordie Barrett has signed for Leinster

Billy Tell

Not quite as it appears. It’s a sabbatical with NZRU blessing. Munster fans will not be happy.

Jordie Barrett re-signed with NZRU until 2028. He will spend six months from November 2024 with Leinster. He won't be part of the Hurricanes in 2025, but sounds like he committed to the Hurricanes after that.

As reported earlier Josh Moorby had signed a 2 year deal with Montpellier. According to the French article Robertson tried to convince him to stay.

That's a shame, he's been great for the Canes this season

Canes4life

@canefan not sure why he didn’t wait one more year. His stocks would have risen more and he probably would have demanded more money.

The way he’s playing atm I’d have him in the AB picture.

mikey07

@canefan Totally agree he rarely seems to have a bad game for us.

I wonder if Moorby has an out-clause as Montpellier are in a relegation battle at the moment. He could end up playing in D2. BTW, Ben Lam and George Bridge are also there.

Canes4life

@mariner4life Robertson clearly wanted him to stay. His form is too hard to ignore but doesn’t really matter now, he’s leaving.

Agree. He wasn't a great FB but he's been superb on the wing. AB quality
