@mikey07 The Canes didn't sign TBN the past few years, when they could. The Highlanders didn't give him much game time. I forgot what the exact rumours about him were a few years ago (was it low workrate?), that were mentioned as a possible reason for the Canes not signing him. I have no idea, but maybe they are true? I'm not a huge fan of Prinsep, especially if he's blocking Flanders' path, but he's a huge workhorse. I never really understand the criticism he gets on the Fern, apart from that he plays for Canterbury.

If TBN signed for the Canes it would be for someone similar like Fifita. As @Stargazer says, Prinsep is an entirely different sort of player.

@yeetyaah See they also signed Ben Botica
Yet another uninspiring selection from this mob if true. For the record he is something like 32 years of age and started just 21 of the 47 games for Bordeaux in the last two seasons, averaging something like 40 minutes field time per match

Not confirmed by Panasonic, yet.
Chiefs flanker Lachlan Boshier has again missed All Blacks selection so will not be returning to the Super Rugby club next year, and will instead head to Japan after signing a deal with Panasonic.
The Japanese club will announce his signing later this month.
Anyone else think that - if missing out of the ABs is indeed an important reason for his move to Japan - he's giving up too easily? Some All Blacks have had to wait for years to be selected. Boshier has only been in the picture for about 2 years. That's not long at all. He's 26; he could have waited until after the RWC. Injuries happen.It may just be Aaron Goile having a moan though.
