Ex-All Black Aaron Cruden emerges as a candidate for Ireland move
Ulster are considering a move for veteran former All Blacks playmaker Aaron Cruden as they look to increase their options...

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.
And Big Karl T.
I was just listing the Kiwis who are competing for the same positions.

Fifteen-cap All Black Ngani Laumape has switched international allegiance to Tonga, it has been revealed.
The Kobelco Kobe Steelers centre earned the last of his 15 caps in November 2020, but, given the 30-year-old has Tongan parents, he has now committed his international future to his parents' country of birth.
He first declared his interest in playing for the ‘Ikale Tahi when the birthright ruling was introduced by World Rugby in 2021. He has been eligible since November last year, however it was too late for him to be involved in the World Cup. He will likely line up in the centre alongside another former All Black in Malakai Fekitoa.
“Our priority now is to qualify for the World Cup so there is still a use for those players and bringing their leadership into the group. And at the same time, we have got guys like Ngani Laumape, who has put his hand up to come in,” assistant coach Nili Latu told RugbyPass.
“Over 80% of the World Cup squad are over 30 and as we’re looking to build some of those players may give us a year or two.
“I think it is really important that we do keep some high-profile players to lead the way for the next generation. A few of the boys have already asked for time off for family reasons and, for me that gives opportunity for the next person.”

@Machpants He said a stint in Super Rugby so I see no reason why he can't be thrown in with either the Force, Landers or Moana Pasifika.

Capped for Japan? Not interested 'kiwi boy'
I'd take him at the Canes, I mean we signed Ben Grant who's an Aussie.

Even if he moved next season he wouldn't be eligible for the ABs until he's 26. Seems like a big call for the kid, if he wanted to be in the mix you'd think he'd have headed back already

@canefan I feel like 26 is still very young for a lock. It's not like he's an outside back.

With his bloodlines he should be able to make the jump. I guess he could play into his early 30s easily

And I'm of the same opinion of that signing.

He's over 2m so he's too tall.
