    Probably depends on how Lima goes. Whoever loses out in that battle is a good chance to be a massive signing up north.

    He's probably just become NZ eligible now. 😉

    I thought he might have had a stab at one of the Oz teams or gone back to league as I think his (Kiwi) wife is still living over there.

    But I guess he can bank some decent coin in France. Good luck to him, he served the Magpies and Havelock well.

    @Stargazer Jack Wilson has certainly moved around over the years. From memory

    Flanker with us converted into a winger as he had speed.
    Moved to England to play.
    Played in South Africa in a Super team.
    Played for England at Sevens?
    Played for the Highlanders and Otago.
    Bath

    Did I miss anything?

    Yeah, played in Aviva Premiership for Saracens; for Sharks in Super Rugby; and has played Sevens for both NZ and England.

    For all the flak we take (of which some of what we deserve), there is nothing more bullshit in global rugby than fucking Irelands fucking project player bullshit.

    If Ireland want to play a hooker who is decent around the field but can't throw for shit, that's their problem. Can't say I'll miss him at the Chiefs, hopefully Rennie picks up a third hooker who can actually do his core jobs.

    Hame Faiva as one example looks a good prospect to potentially fill Marshall's role at the Chiefs.

    I do like the impact brought by Misa, Faiva's substitute. He's very dynamic in the loose and always make the hard yards. He is a very good long term prospect IMO.

    Not a huge loss to NZ rugby as I think at his best he was nothing better than a serviceable SR player but not a fan of the idea that he may well be playing for Ireland in 3 years time.

    Could never understand why Reinie and co rated him above Harris. He really did seem very average.

    @Unco Agreed. The story I read was that the Chiefs weren't going to offer Marshall a new contract so it's not as if Ireland were knocking on his door.

    I'm more than happy with Harris and Elliot and think Faiva would be a good choice as the 3rd hooker.

    Don't forget CMs Sua. Has been strong in the scrum, accurate in the lineout and getting the odd try as well.

    Ben Herring, who joined the Highlanders last year as a resource coach and is also the Otago assistant coach, is joining the Sunwolves and the Japanese national team for the next three years.
    
    He will link up with former Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph as the new Japanese set-up fills with former Highlanders personnel.
    
    Joseph, who is the head coach of Japan until the next World Cup, will be joined by Tony Brown as the attack coach for the national side after the Super rugby season finishes next year while Herring will join the side as the defence coach.
    
    Simon Jones, who has worked with the Highlanders and other southern sporting teams, has joined the outfit as the head strength and conditioning coach.
