Moorby will be 27 in July next year so his potential career as an AB wing will be over.

Moorby will join Montpellier : https://rugbyprime.com/2024/04/01/transferts-montpellier-tambwe-et-moorby-ont-donne-leur-accord/

@jauzy019 pulled the pin too early! If he keeps playing like he is now he could've demanded substantially more at the end of super rugby.

Funny to think guys like this are a fair way from the ABs and yet Bridge was a mainstay.

This popped up on my Twitter feed.

Oh no, that would be terrible news

Would this have been a northern hemisphere april Fools?

@SouthernMann yes -

@SouthernMann Yep and after midday.

@Bones agreed, probably could have demanded a lot more in a year's time with the way he's playing but good on him. Take the money and run while he's still healthy even though I'd love him to stay at the Canes. A good chance for Bailyn Sullivan to cement a right wing spot next year if he stays around.

Fergus Burke off to London. Is it a worry that players are leaving so early in their careers now?

[Bones]

@Canes4life obviously a lot of unease with the new coaching group.

Also the fact he'll get paid a shit ton more with the most successful team in EU and also be pretty much straight into Scotland squad

Doubt it. Poaching NZers is SOOOOO 90s.

The Scots prefer Saffas and Tongans these days

Possible, but ATM they will take anyone - allegedly

Report: Scotland in talks to poach All Black prospect from the Crusaders

Scotland have an All Black prospect in their sights as a shortage of U20 talent has forced a recruitment spree to raid eligible talent.

@Canes4life

Who can blame him? He'll get double the money and a much higher chance to play international Rugby.

NZR insisting on only playing NZ-based players in the All Blacks is a gigantic and unfair restraint on players' earnings. South Africa are World Champions in Rugby and Argentina World Champions in Football, despite (or perhaps partially because of) having players from leagues all around the world.

[Darren]

Since he is staying the rest of the year, I'd give him a cap, just to mess with Scotland.

[Canes4life]

@sparky I don't blame him at all. It leaves the Crusaders with a flush of green first fives to pick from next year. Experienced overseas 10 will be in hot demand during the off season.

There must be some crap welsh player at the tail end of their career who can be lured to super rugby. What’s not to like about Rhys Patchell?

George North?
