    Kaleb Trask heading back to Japan on a 2 year deal…not sure which club

    So no way they will be wanting to let Jacomb leave.

    Would he want to stay behind an AB though?

    @Canes4life So you would be happy for Higgins to go elsewhere as he will be behind Barrett? There will be injuries and rotation throughout a season.

    Of course I wouldn’t be happy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. Same with Godfrey if Love ends up being our 10 next year. But I would get it, they have to do what’s best for themselves to give them the best chance of making it to that next level.

    George Dyer - rumoured to be heading to Munster

    He signed a new contract in July last year until 2027 so this is doubtful.

    If both Tupou (he signed a 2-yr deal for 2024/25) and MSR leave, I would prefer a loose forward as there are enough locks. I am hoping Andrew Smith has a big NPC. A no.7 should be the top priority.

    Trask signed for 2024-25 when he went to Japan.

    Munster have just extended 2 young tightheads contracts. One is from Hawaii so the dyer rumour can be put to bed.

    That is good news. Just one injury away from ABs in my view

    Not happy if he went overseas. I only just got on the Higgins bandwagon and I'm going to milk it all I can!

    Hope I'm wrong in my pessimism, but I wonder how many games Trask will be able to play on a two year contract these days.

    So the confirmed departures are ross, Stevenson and trask am hoping the chiefs. Don't renew coombes fabling, jimmy topou and Selby reckitt, it is rumored that slater is also moving, someone mentioned somewhere that Gideon wrampling might have signed an overseas contract

    Odd move for all parties when considering all the midfielders the Chiefs have.
