One or two years in Japan could be a huge difference. One year is like BB, who slotted straight back in (at the same age). Mo'unga could easily do the same. But two years is like Retallick, who has been a bit disappointing since his return. It may be different for backs though.

Yeah, one year sabbatical and two year contract are completely different prospects. Returning to the fold vs. leaving international rugby.

If Mo'unga missed 2 years and came back in 2026 that would be the year the new Christchurch Stadium would be used by Crusaders wouldn't it (scheduled for end of 2025 completion)?

Yeah right

[Machpants]

Any guesses?

'I'm not signing him... you need lads who are hard cases'

Worcester boss Steve Diamond has dismissed speculation they are signing Fijian lock Leone Nakarawa, revealing instead a Kiwi is joining.

@Machpants Retallick.

Nah he has signed with the Canes until the end of 2023.

[Stargazer]

@Chris Mitchell Dunshea is signed until the end of 2023, too.

Josh Goodhue's contract expires, this year.

Yep you are right then it points towards Josh goodhue he is 26 and only signed until the end of 2022.

@Machpants Retallick.

Signed until the end of 2023.

[Chris]

The article quoted the Lock from New Zealand they were signing was 26 or 27.

Strange has signed through 2023.The only lock I can see in that age bracket unsigned past 2022 is Josh Goodhue.

[Stargazer]

@Chris Could also be Geoff Cridge.

[taniwharugby]

I havent heard anything about him leaving, but given his history with head knocks, he is potentially only another one away from no rugby career, so wouldnt be-grudge him getting a few £££'s in the bank while he can!

But as to contracts, they mean little in this world.

[Chris]

Bryn Hall off to Japan.
