The Highlanders might be looking for a new Prop. According to All.Rugby Jermaine Ainsley is leaving the Highlanders to sign with Lyon, their source - Le Progrès newspaper. Unless its for 2025?

I looked at some badly translated French articles. It looks like the next French season. He's replacing a prop that leaves at the end of the current season.

@Landers92 blues development player of the year last year. Some young competition. Love to see it.
-
@Landers92 He started most of the Blues u20 games this year. You can see him score a try here from 3:20 mins.
-
I saw a post on Insta by Tawa FC that Hugo Plummer (Wellington lock) is down with the Highlanders. Not sure in what capacity.

Props and loose forward are probably our strongest development area. From Wingham to Fahey and others there is plenty coming through. Interesting the young Blues lad is down there.

Yeha saw that as well. We are well short of locks. Stodart has taken one of the spots from an injured lock. He might be keeping a spot warm.

@Landers92 Was supposed to have been very good in club rugby, and for Blues U20. May have missed NZ U20 selection due to being Australian.
-
@SouthernMann I felt he was actually unlucky to make the Canes. He was better than a couple of the locks we ended up signing IMO.

Is he a kiwi born player who grew up in Australia?
-
@SouthernMann Not sure what his connection to NZ is. I know he went to Nudgee College in Australia.

Interesting for a kid of that age to jump the Ta$man, if he has no connections. If he is a viable option smart from the Highlanders fo bring down a guy who xan come in for 2025. Patchell will only be around for a year.
-
@SouthernMann let’s hope he’s someone we can keep around for longer than 1 off-season so we can actually see what he has. Miller, Ajay and Smith. You’d hope we hit on 1 of them…..

He made the U19s team, does anyone know if they have the same selectoral policy as the U20s?
New Zealand Under 19
