All.Rugby reports - James O'Connor leaves the Crusaders to sign with Leicester Tigers for 1 year until 2026 , source The Telegraph.

So does that mean he's ruled himself out of Lions contention?

Why?

Just asking. I assume by your answer that he doesn't start his contract until after the tour is over?

That's only an assumption. Off Season now.

Mr Fish

Sort of irrelevant because he's already playing offshore, so his eligibility doesn't really change.

The writer of that headline clearly hasn't seen Tupou play the last couple of years.

Former All Blacks assistant coach Leon MacDonald has landed his first head coaching role since being in charge of the Blues in 2023. Following a short stint in Perth as a coaching consultant for the Western Force, MacDonald will head to Tokyo to coach the Yokohama Canon Eagles in Japan Rugby League One.
