@Stargazer quality player, did well at super in his opportunities and was very good for us this year, but at this point we havent even offered him a contract for next year.

Joel Hintz has signed with the Sharks! Geez, I hope he'll still return for the NPC.

[cgrant]

What Sharks ? Sale Sharks or the SA Sharks ?

@cgrant looks like Durban if you check the tweet.

The same applies to his younger brother Charles. He was such a good player at 1st XV/U20 level, and I thought he would have a bright future as a tall, athletic 6.

I've no idea where he is now after playing for Southland.

Google says he was playing club rugby in Melbourne this year

The parents may still live in Melbourne as that is where Charles came from to go to school in NZ.

@Bovidae He looked OK, but just a bit lightweight to become a SR level 6.

27-year-old Joel Hintz wil make his debut for the Sharks in the URC match against the Stormers on saturday.

The New Zealand prop was brought over to Durban as front row cover from Hawke’s Bay.

He has also turned out for the New England Free Jacks in Major League Rugby in the USA.

Not really a post concerning a new expatriate but I have to say that Iosefa-Scott is doing the business for the Exeter Chiefs. A return home would be welcome !

@Daffy-Jaffy All of the home unions and Ireland now have Kiwi coaches in some form with Wales having a head coach, Ireland backs coach, Scotland and England have two former All Black assistant/skills coaches.
