I have heard Josh Jacomb has signed for Otago for the 2026 NPC..
From a family perspective for him it makes sense. It would give him, partner and kids a year round base. Instead of having to split it between NP and Hamilton. Or NP and Dunedin.

Yep

fingers crossed
Millar has obviouslt had a great season but one injury would have derailed things, Gilbert has done well at 15 i think and jamming him back at 10 might not have been pretty....some depth at 10 would be good

This will not make Taranaki's biggest fan @Dan54 happy...

Nor I.
This is bullshit. What's he thinking? Shining Peak, or... Speights.
"Representative rugby" - pfft. -

You are right it wouldn't SM, though I would be surpised. I hope someone has got confused with his Highlanders gig. Not sure how Otago could afford him with Millar being there, both players must be prem players payments at NPC level.
And as Kruse rightfully points out Shining Peak is a better brew than Speights!

Emersons is better than Shining Peak though.
I doubt it is a cost thing.
Will be about lifestyle and limiting impact on the family. Two kids in daycare. Keep them in the same one. Don't shift between islands.

comparing a craft beer to mass produced is just coming across desperate for a win

@frugby not only kicking his goal kicking, he’s setting up tries and actually controlling the game this season. He’s taken some serious steps ahead this year. Absolutely stoked for the guy.
He’s had a lot of responsibility put on his shoulders the last 2/3 years for such a young guy, add to that a couple serious injuries so it’s nice to see him come through that and show positives signs. Still only 23 years old as well.

Am I correct in thinking that Otago will be without CLW and Bower and Cantab will be without Darry and Bell?
Think the AB XV players will still be available. Canterbury should be without Darry and Bell. Still having its AB XV players. Same with us and Lio-Willie.
On Millar. He had his best attacking game I have ever seen. Still to me he does lack quite a bit in that area. The next couple of years will be interesting especially with JJ clearly see his team having a future with Jacomb in the driver's seat.
