Been told TJ Perenara signing 3 year deal to head to Japan at the end of this season. Odd because he has a contract running through next year.

To follow on from my earlier message. For those interested in Japanese footy, the team he’s joining is the Ricoh Black Rams.

He had a great season. He regained his AB spot. Perfect time to walk away

Jono Gibbes to Lyon -

There was chat that if Wisemantel got the Tahs job Gibbes was going to be the forwards coach

Yeah the person who informed me last week hasn’t given me any wrong information yet.

Tyrone Thompson hasn't been named in the HB squad - yet.

[African Monkey]

@Landers92 You're a very reliable source of information mate.

Early release for league maybe? There’s 3 hookers named in the squad so highly likely he’s not going to be named.

[Bovidae]

@Nepia Looking at the squad graphic there are still two players to be named (three if you include a replacement for the now released Anzelo Tuitavuki).

Looks like the Herald finally goot around to reading this thread, the least Liam could do was mention us 'the herald understands..' = 'we saw on The Fern"

All Blacks halfback set for Japanese move

All Blacks halfback to depart at the end of the year to shine spotlight on halfback ranks.

Tamati Tua has apparently left the Brumbies for Exeter, and Peni Ravai has left the Reds for the Drua.

[junior12]

Interesting to see Ben Lam has signed for Catalans Dragons in the UK Super league. Will be interesting to see his transition and how similar he goes to Solomon Alaimalo

[Daffy Jaffy]

Patrick Tuifua is apparently leaving the HBay Mgpies for Toulon after the NPC. Seems France won the tug of war for him.

Just been told Damian McKenzie is going to be playing for La Rochelle

[stodders]

@family-man DMac not going on the EOYT then. Wonder if that means Mo’unga is on his way back for 2025.

[family man]

@stodders I’m guessing so

[African Monkey]

Hmmm I heard Mo'unga was back in 2026.

[Bovidae]

DMac is signed with NZR and the Chiefs/Waikato for 2025. I doubt he would be granted an early release.

I find it funny that a player that failed to win two World Cups is all of a sudden going to be our savior.

[chucknz]

@Canes4life Well if DMac leaves then Mo'unga certainly would be needed
