@Bones Dare you to say that in the Northland thread
They should've bloody signed him then!

Caird has been a loyal servant to Northland rugby, a real grafter at npc who always gave 100%, sadly never quite cracked super rugby.
Be a loss to northland rugby.

Damn. I was wondering why Pyrenees Boyle-Tiatia hadn't been playing for the Waikato U19s. He has signed for Bayonne.
Bayonne have also already signed the Australian winger Declan Minto so perhaps they had some scouts at last year’s Global Youth Sevens, as both he and Boyle-Tiatia played in the tournament.
I have mixed feelings about the signing. I think Boyle-Tiatia is a player with great potential so you’d hope he isn’t lost to NZ rugby for good. Then again, with question marks about the NZR player pathways at the moment, this should be a good test case to see whether the French academy system can get more out of its players.
Best case scenario is he adds some more strings to his bow, gets early exposure to the Top 14 and returns a much more complete player. Worst case... Well, I guess we all know what the worst case scenario is.
