@booboo That's not the player Otago signed. This is Saula Ma'u:

@Stargazer I haven't seen Big Billy for a year or two but that looks suspiciously like him in the red jersey. Last time I saw him he did not look as big as the guy in the photo though!

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I have no idea who Big Billy is.

[Steven Harris]

@Steven-Harris I see that he is a big unit but can he scrummage

[Bovidae]

Ma'u was the starting TH prop for the NZ Schools last year in their test against the Australian Schools. I vaguely remember him in that game (the entire front row were huge). No idea how he has gone at senior level.

Edit: Here is a screenshot. Ma'u is the front rower on the right.

@mikey07 only 18, so only time will tell.

Manaaki Selby-Rickit has plead guilty. His charge is reckless disregard, which has a sentence of up to 5 years imprisonment.

Maybe

Ranger did something similar early in his career

[Yeetyaah]

@Duluth Losi Filipo as well. Hopefully he gets put away. Even if he gets off, NZR needs make an example of him and terminate his contract.

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth that wasnt him and was rightly found not guilty.

[Duluth]

Actually, just to clarify, Ranger was found not guilty of stomping on someone’s head during a fight

Yeah I added he was found not guilty

His defence was that he shoved the guy and the injuries were from the guy hitting the ground, not a stomp

[Yeetyaah]

@Duluth who? Selby-Rickit?

[Duluth]

@Yeetyaah the Ranger one
