Harry Plummer set to join french club Clermont in 2025.
Clermont tient son futur ouvreur : Plummer devrait s’engager prochainement
Selon nos informations, Harry Plummer devrait être le prochain demi d’ouverture de Clermont, à partir de la saison prochaine. Le numéro 10 des Blues d’Auckland sort d’une brillante saison avec l’équipe championne de...
your French is better than mine (!) but it doesn't read like it is certain-he is still to sign?
-
The Blues key players are leaving in droves.
Well I guess at least the ABs have Havili Reece Blackadder and Fihaki to call on. Sigh. -
@jauzy019 He is a great signing. I suspect he's been told where he is in the ABs selectors' picking order and it isn't high. A shame because he would have a lot to offer a coaching team who didn't see everything through Red and Black glasses.
-
@WoodysRFC if the reports are correct he'll join Clermont for the 2025-6 season ie from September 2025. He'll have another Super Season at the Blues.

@nostrildamus I can't recall jauzy being wrong. However I could be wrong...

Same as Ricitelli who is apparently off after this next season I think. Plummer going might explain why the 'Perofeta to the Canes' rumour never happened. Lets hope Rico Simpson has a good NPC and is ready to step up. Still only 18 right now though.

There could be a mass exodus of No 10s after next year's Super Rugby season. Three or four by my count.
Outside of Plummer, who else?
I can't recall such a dearth in quality at the 10 position in SR. There is no one to seriously challenge DMac and BB

Barrett is signed through 2027, so probably not him.
Plummer, Perofeta, Cameron, Trask?
Great, so potentially we will have to put up with Beaudy until RWC27.....

That's not surprising when the rumor is that they are treading water until Mo'jnga returns.
The fascinating one for me is Dmac, he is worth so much money in Japan that it will be interesting to see what he does if / when Mo'unga returns.
The Blues looked like they were stacking 10s, if Perofeta also goes overseas, they could go to old man Barrett and some kids very quickly.

Plummer leaving because he most likely can’t see a path into the 2027 World Cup(barring injury) with if/when Richie Mounga is back in 2026. Don’t blame the guy, he’s got his AB cap so might as well cash in.
It’s a real shame imo, this could have been handled so much better. Player management is leaving a lot to be desired, not just in the AB’s, but NZR in general. A very promising 10/12 leaving at the age of 26 coming into his peak, brutal.
