@Stargazer I've just been looking at the competition website - it's better than bloody Super Rugby. Also, each team has a crazy range of names, I looked at about 3 teams and every one of them had about 3 or 4 surnames I'd never heard before.

@Daffy-Jaffy That's a shame. Good player.

It is, but it's understandable - his body just isn't holding up, so he may as well cash in while he can.

He's never going to be an AB, so going now is good for him. In fact, with Jacobson having arrived, he might not have even made the Chiefs starting line up.

[Jailbreak7]

In that case can the Chiefs have Mitch Dunshea - must be surplus to Saders requirements

@Jailbreak7 Hard pass thanks. A good mate of mine went to school with him, apparently he's a massive piston wristed gibbon.

There was always one or two of those hanging around in the first 15....

[Yeetyaah]

Lmao , is there some kind of auto change on my comment? I used a different word. Is it for the google ads thing? Hilarious. Never heard piston wristed gibbon before

@Stargazer not to sound horrible but glad he’s going he had done nothing for the Canes this year.

Yep go earn so money. But I’d look at teams not in CA if it was me. Not somewhere I’d put top of my list.

[KiwiMurph]

@Darren cos of the tax?

A lot more than that. CA is basically it’s own country. I live in Colorado and it is becoming a lot more liberal here but not a patch on CA. Actually Northern California is not bad. But living in LA or San Francisco I couldn’t do it. Traffic, cost of living, poverty.

Highlanders loose-head prop Aki Seiuli has signed a two-year contract with Glasgow Warriors, subject to visa and medical.

Warriors sign Super Rugby prop Seiuli - Glasgow Warriors

[Stargazer]

Former Crusaders and Northland wing Jone Macilai has signed with Munakata Sanix Blues in Japan.

Ma'a Nonu to San Diego Legion in US Major League Rugby.

Love it, Ma'a's going from Miramar, NZ (home of the famous Ories) to Miramar, CA (home of Top Gun).

[Billy Tell]

So that’s probably the end of Ma’a’s RWC 2023 bid.

[Bovidae]

Does anyone know what sort of money the players get in the MLR?

He's in SD though - surely not as bad as SF or LA.

At least the winter will be gentle.
