Rene Ranger joins french club La Rochelle on a 2-year deal
RENÉ RANGER JUSQU’EN 2019
Le Stade Rochelais a le plaisir d’annoncer le recrutement du centre/ailier René Ranger pour les deux prochaines saisons.

@jauzy019 interesting decision, I guess one forced on him by not being able to pick up a super contract, as I didnt think he had enjoyed his time greatly in France.
Doesnt say, but assume he goes after Mitre 10 Cup, unless La Rochelle bought out his NOrthland contract or he had an out clause?

Another cautionary tale for those who think they'll be able to come back and play at the same level (or better).
His case is a bit different. It's not like he was fit and playing good rugby in France before he came back
He had no form in the NH and his NZ form was a continuation of that decline
-
@Duluth form of his life when he had signed to go north (first time)...funny how it works out that way.

Yes, he was so good at the time that he'd probably have been named in the ABs if he hadn't signed with Montpellier.
He didn't make himself very popular in France either, by admitting he didn't want to be there and would rather play in NZ. He's made quite a few negative comments about French rugby on instagram during that time. I'm surprised La Rochelle wants him.

@Stargazer money talks.

Almost modern poetry, I like your style.
(no surprises that shields is weighing up his options)

I agree with you
The exodus continues
And it often hurts -

Sounds like it's more a case of his agent touting him around the place, than him being pursued by England to be fair.
-
Sure, he'd be an option. But I doubt he's being pursued by anyone in the England setup.
Wouldn't surprise me if he made a move north though. Seems to be out of the frame AB wise and could earn a decent wedge in the current market.

Don't they have enough big loose forwards with tits for hands in England already?

They pick Teimana Harrison.
There depth isn't amazing by any means.
