@stargazer pretty cool , great to see Collins playing in his more preferred position in the midfield, to be fair i don’t see him as an international rugby player ..but stranger things have happened.

@steven-harris
Every NZer would've said the same for Parkes but be became a minor cult hero in Wales. -

Southland Stags’ 2021 prospects have been dealt a massive blow with impressive tight-head prop Siate Tokolahi heading overseas to play.
A big loss for the Highlanders too.
-
@bovidae and obviously chat about Collins and Regan heading to Wales, less of a blow thanTokolahi but still another season of change for the Highlanders coming i feel
-
@kiwiwomble Ainsley will likely end up as the starting TH prop in 2022 but Hohneck is 35 so the Highlanders will need to be looking for a younger prop to develop.

Confirmed:
Ospreys sign utility back Collins
The Ospreys regional rugby franchise can confirm the signing of utility back Michael Collins on a two-year deal.
This sounds like he won't play NPC:
Collins, 27, played Super Rugby for the New Zealand franchises - the Auckland Blues and the Otago Highlanders – and will join the Ospreys in the summer.

@Higgins i guess that means more game time for next “big thing” Proctor.
Seeing him up close he's a big unit. And still 21.
With the Umaga-Jensen lads starting to fulfill their promise and Fainga'anuku also just 21 there's a lot of exciting young midfield talent around to be enthusiastic about. Ennor, too.
Laumape probably saw the writing on the wall.
