Former NZ U20s player. Thought he was a big loss for Harbour.

Just been announced in Ireland that Jordie Barrett has signed for Leinster

[Billy Tell]

Not quite as it appears. It’s a sabbatical with NZRU blessing. Munster fans will not be happy.

[sparky]

Jordie Barrett re-signed with NZRU until 2028. He will spend six months from November 2024 with Leinster. He won't be part of the Hurricanes in 2025, but sounds like he committed to the Hurricanes after that.

As reported earlier Josh Moorby had signed a 2 year deal with Montpellier. According to the French article Robertson tried to convince him to stay.

That's a shame, he's been great for the Canes this season

[Canes4life]

@canefan not sure why he didn’t wait one more year. His stocks would have risen more and he probably would have demanded more money.

The way he’s playing atm I’d have him in the AB picture.

[mikey07]

@canefan Totally agree he rarely seems to have a bad game for us.

[Bovidae]

I wonder if Moorby has an out-clause as Montpellier are in a relegation battle at the moment. He could end up playing in D2. BTW, Ben Lam and George Bridge are also there.

[Canes4life]

@mariner4life Robertson clearly wanted him to stay. His form is too hard to ignore but doesn’t really matter now, he’s leaving.

Anti exodus?

Agree. He wasn't a great FB but he's been superb on the wing. AB quality

[Canes4life]

@Winger he didn’t have the high level kicking game for a international fullback but his involvements as a winger have been top notch.

Aaron Cruden to Ulster. (Rumour, not confirmed)

[African Monkey]

@sparky As a player or coach?

Ex-All Black Aaron Cruden emerges as a candidate for Ireland move

Ulster are considering a move for veteran former All Blacks playmaker Aaron Cruden as they look to increase their options...

I was just listing the Kiwis who are competing for the same positions.
