@Higgins He played very well for them and for BOP.

@Higgins said in Exodus:

@Stargazer Wonder what New Zealand international means and did he actually play any games, let alone start, for the Hurricanes?

He started a few games for the Canes when Perenara was in Japan. Didn’t let the jersey down at all.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins He played 12 games for the Hurricanes, of which 9 starts, in 2021. International can only refer to the NZ U20s (2015).

[Higgins]

@Stargazer There you go then, shows just how much I care or take notice of the Hurricanes now! Incidentally I have got a leave pass to go over to Park Island for the Under 18 game against the Wgtn Samoans so will give you a bit of a report on how things wen sometime after. Means I will miss the first half of The Bay's match against BoP though!

Awful photoshop job

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah That graphic says for the 2022-23 season. Wiki tells me the season starts in Dec 2022 and ends in May 2023. That would mean Trask won't be playing for the Chiefs next year.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yes, the Japan League One season starts on 17 December 2022 and the final is scheduled for 20 May 2023.

@Stargazer
Henry Bell is a big loss. I thought he could have earned a spot in the Highlanders squad as he has been outstanding for Otago. He has more upsides than Apisai IMO.

Bell signing for a US team is a shocker, especially when he lost out to Apisai. Upto Highlanders?

[SouthernMann]

@Canes4life Looks like he has been sent away to be looked after by uncle Greg Cooper for a year and will then come back to the Otago/Highlanders fold. Dumb decision none the less to pounce on Leni Apisai

Nick Grigg (in this year's Hawke's Bay squad) has signed an injury replacement contract with Carcassone in the French Pro D2 competition. Apparently, he already arrived there early this week!

USC communication  /  Oct 5, 2022

Du renfort au centre : Nicholas Grigg est Carcassonnais !

[Bovidae]

Bridge to Montpellier? Ben Lam is one of the other wingers there.

Ardie Savea announces offshore playing break in 2024

All Blacks and Hurricanes loose forward Ardie Savea has confirmed he will take an offshore playing break in 2024 before returning to rugby in New Zealand.
Under the terms of the four-year contract extension he signed with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) last year, the 67-Test All Black will transfer to Japan at the end of 2023.
The 29-year-old will then return to New Zealand in June 2024 and play through until the end of the 2025 season.

[Canes4life]

The Canes definitely have the loosies to cover Ardie. Now I see why we signed Kirifi until 2025.
