Patrick Tuifua to Toulon -
https://rctoulon.com/patrick-tuifua-sengage-avec-le-rugby-club-toulonnais-jusquen-2028/This kid can’t make up his mind. Good luck to him.
Is that the kid who played for a France youth team
Yeah and then he came back here with ambitions to play for the ABs, now he's done a u-turn and will play for Toulon for the next three years, assuming that he will end up playing for the French.

Looked a great prospect. But we don't need him. Clearly too impatient

Yeah, and Flanders would be our main 6 anyway if he's fit and available. Iose has the ability to play there as well.

Just the article regarding Tuifua, Canes. Offered him a 3 year deal.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360645930/france-win-tug-o-war-all-blacks-eligible-rugby-prospect-patrick-tuifuaCan't argue with the reasoning behind his decision

He's a kid who perhaps thought that the money and lifestyle in Toulon was preferable to Wellington?
I wouldn't of minded him staying, but I a little surprised there seem some think he is somehow walking out on us. He has already played for French, would seem to be French to me, we tried to poach him, and it didn't work. Hope it goes well for him, (but not to good if he makes Frenct test team) -

From Taranaki's SM:
@stephenperofeta signs off from Amber & Black
Unless he is playing for another PU it suggests he is off overseas.

@KiwiMurph there's a vacancy for next season, sad to see him go still had plenty to offer at all levels.

He turns 29 this year can't blame him for cashing in
What gets lost in the World Cup Final is how well Telea played that day - he had an absolute stormer.

@KiwiMurph he was lethal all tournament.

Uncanny ability to beat a man which will be missed. His skin must be covered in vaseline.
Not too fast relatively speaking but incredible balance and deceptive strength. You always got a sense something might happen every time he got the ball which is what you want in an AB winger !
Good career but getting long in the tooth for an AB outside back. Probably the right time to head off.
