Whether he's NZ's unluckiest player is debatable, but glad to see James Tucker in a SR squad.
New Zealand's unluckiest player lands Super Rugby gig in Australian capital
Former NZ Under 20s player James Tucker has always been earmarked for great things but injuries have curtailed his career to date. In 2021, Tucker will suit up for the Brumbies in Super Rugby AU.

I think Tucker has been unlucky because of so many injuries, as that article alludes to. When he is fit, and played, he has always been very good.

The Waratahs have handed former Queensland Reds representative and dumped Brisbane Broncos back Izaia Perese a lifeline by signing the 23-year-old on a one-year deal, with coach Rob Penney saying he deserves another chance.
Perese, who represented the Reds on 17 occasions, was in the Wallabies frame as early as 2016 when coach Michael Cheika invited the exciting centre to come on the end-of-season spring tour to Europe.

@KiwiMurph interesting. Another of these wonder kids who tear Brisbane Premier Rugby apart and are the next big thing. We will see.
-
Ah that's right - left for the Broncos then this:
2020
On 18 February, Perese was stood down indefinitely by the Brisbane club after being charged by police with drug-related offences. Perese was later granted bail and is due back in court on 9 March 2020. Brisbane CEO Paul White released a statement saying “Standing down Izaia is not a judgement of his guilt or innocence, but recognition that this is a serious matter, We have discussed our course of action and the reasoning behind it with Izaia, and he understands the action we have taken. We will review the matter as it moves through the legal process"Turned up at Bayonne thereafter.

On that Kahui advert. I don't believe it's really him. Moving those cards would have done his elbows in.

@KiwiMurph not like we're drowning in talent these days. Might be a redemption story.
I'm assuming he'll play wing at this stage but hard to tell as the squad still only lists 24 players

@NTA With his utility ability it's probably best to introduce him off the bench initially.
The other options are rookies so we will see
-
Don't put him on the bench! Those splinters are everywhere!
(Nobody puts baby in a corner, he damages his shoulders).
Still, what a fine All Black he was.

Sheesh, he looks like the kind of guy the Warriors love to sign up, I assume they offered a multi year, multi million dollar one but he turned them down.
