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.

Harry Inch is off to the Warriors.
Interesting move. A year ago was seen as one of the best 10s in schoolboy footy. Wonder if he saw his pathway blocked both at local and national levels.

Does he have a league background?
TBF, with that haircut he looks like he should be playing bogan rugby.

He must be eligible for Wales?

@African-Monkey not seen that in any of the reports to be honest.
There were a few Wales qualified Kiwis mentioned in the Welsh media a while ago but he wasn't one of them.
