@booboo Well, he's only listed as unavailable for that tour, so he may wind up in the B's.
Helps if one reads the article

@Duluth Looks like Emersen Tamura-Paki played for Panasonic Wild Knights in Japan when he was 19, and has been in Auckland B and Blues Dev squads. He'll be 22 in August. plays loosehead, may have Japanese heritage. Expressed desire to play for Japan last year.
All I can find on Dexter Fa'amoana is that he's 23, was in Auckland B last year, and went through the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand's High Performance Players Course this year. Plays tighthead.
EDIT: In 2016, College Rifles had Tamura-Paki at 184 cm/113 kg, and Fa'amoana at 190 cm/128 kg.

With Wairarapa Bush having signed Piri Weepu being earlier in this thread, King Country have signed Alby Mathewson for this year's Heartland Championship.
Damn, that's 2 ex* HB halfbacks that could be playing for us instead of Eaton.
*Age group for Piri ....
