He's probably just become NZ eligible now.
I thought he might have had a stab at one of the Oz teams or gone back to league as I think his (Kiwi) wife is still living over there.
But I guess he can bank some decent coin in France. Good luck to him, he served the Magpies and Havelock well.

Not a huge loss to NZ rugby as I think at his best he was nothing better than a serviceable SR player but not a fan of the idea that he may well be playing for Ireland in 3 years time.
Could never understand why Reinie and co rated him above Harris. He really did seem very average.

@Unco Agreed. The story I read was that the Chiefs weren't going to offer Marshall a new contract so it's not as if Ireland were knocking on his door.
I'm more than happy with Harris and Elliot and think Faiva would be a good choice as the 3rd hooker.

Otago player Naulia Dawai, who has already played for Fiji, has signed a two-year deal with Connacht, starting after the Mitre 10 Cup.

Don't forget CMs Sua. Has been strong in the scrum, accurate in the lineout and getting the odd try as well.
