@Winger Lochore isn't playing as a back row; he plays lock for us, but could play back row if they need him there.
Hés a bit short really for a super rugby lock. Almost Blackwell height. Could he play six (Blackwell couldn't). And is he related to BJ

@Stargazer All.rugby has some nice stuff, but it is the same website which reckons TUJ is a fullback.
Still an excellent website though
Thomas UMAGA-JENSEN is a 25-year-old New Zealander rugby player standing at 1.87 m tall (6 ft 2 in) and weighing in at 112 kg (17 st 8.92 lb; 246.92 lb) , who currently plays for Otago in New Zealand as fullback.

We need lock sized locks, not 1.9m blindside flankers that think they are locks. Been there and done that with James Blackwell and we didn’t win anything.
Taula looks to be the perfect size for a lock. I hope they can pull him into line because he could be very effective.

@SouthernMann until 2027, whoop whoop. That is an outstanding signing.
Hang on wasn't he going elsewhere?

Agree. Excellent signing
Now Canes need to announce a few more. Including who the new head forward coach is
-
@Winger and they need to nail down a quality long term first five to partner Roigard. I'm not sure Cameron is the answer.

I still wouldn't mind seeing Barrett at first. With Higgins at 2nd
But Cameron had some great games last year. The coaches just need to work on his confidence a bit. He doesn't seem to like being the main man
-
@Winger I don't think Barrett will move into ten tbh, I think the Canes see him settled at 12. If you're going to shift Jordie it would be to move him back to fullback to accommodate Higgins at 12, and then maybe Love could jump into ten. There will be a few selection dilemmas next year in the backs.
-
No way Jordie moves to 10.
It'll be Cameron at 10, and to be honest he's probably one of the better 10s floating around post Mounga and Barrett.
DMac and Perofeta are probably 1 & 2 next year I'd imagine in the country?
Love could convert but at this stage, he looks more a 15 to me.

Agree. Nota permanent move. But if needed I think he could do well at 10. It will also give game time to Higgins
I certainly wouldn't move JB to FB. Weve got enough options including Sinkinson. Although he seems like no more than NPC level but might improve

I'm shocked hahaha
Someone's tea leaves were beyond their use-by date.

Ennor still on his way to the Highlanders though no doubt, and Ah Kuoi surely set for a last-minute u-turn move to the Blues.

Hopefully for the upcoming 23 in the quarters!
