@Number-10 said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
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 ....

Can anyone help us out with this Cameron Falcon guy? I see he is a yank https://www.usarugby.org/player/cameron-falcon/ and apparently played in a match I sort of watched in a mudbath a few weeks back but did not really notice him (he was the reserve hooker) and again in a game that I watched about thirty five minutes of on an astroturf ground two weeks where his side were into a wicked southerly. Perhaps if knew beforehand he was a hotshot I might have kept a closer eye on him. I note he had played prop in eight of his eleven appearances (two of which were off the bench) for Johnsonville.
I see he played a few games for Spotswood Old Boys in 2015, anyone up in the 'Naki able to throw any light on him?

I thought Alex Hodgman signed for Counties?
-
@African-Monkey Yes, I thought so, too, but that was only reported in the media. I haven't seen any announcement from Counties though.

As posted in the Magpies forum: Hawke's Bay have signed Pasqualle Dunn, Nick Palmer, Cardiff Vaega and TJ Vaega.
TJ Vaega - poached out of the Auckland colts! I'll be very interested to watch him this year.

I think poaching is a bit strong, I think the Magpies recruiting this year has been close our eyes and throw a dart at a bunch of names. Clearly, the fact we're bringing in an Aussie lock has meant we threw a dart at the Crusaders recruiting list by accident as well.
