Sevu Reece has signed a three year contract with Perpignan (USAP) so the game against Wales was his last with the black jersey.

Good on him. I'm sure he could walk into the starting side.

@MN5 that was a low point to be fair, and not forgetting Brett Sinkinson either.
Interesting article here with Howarth this year if you can be bothered to wade through a Wales online article - it's not for the faint hearted.

Yeah, quality clickbait for that part of the headline.

I didn't know that they were unclear of who his grandfather was and that was part of the issue. I just thought it was like Sinkinson and they got the birthplace wrong.

It's a fine line with birthplace eligibility, (not that it counts towards any eligibility) but my grandfather was not on my Dad's birth certificate and rather than be added on to it back then he had to legally adopt my Dad when he was 6.

No. But Thomas Woodward changed his name to Tom Jones.
There have been quite a few famous Thomas Woodwards.

If he changed his name to Tom Jones; i'd say the very famous "lad" of the 18th century would have been the inspiration.

@Bovidae Not the only one theres a current super rugby prop who will be heading to the Newscastle Red Bulls club post next years super comp
According to my source ,this prop has english herritage via his grand parents

Was this Pouri Rakete-Stones?

He’s being reported in the Daily Mail to Red Bulls.

@hikastags @Bovidae ..Was chatting to Pouri’s dad a few weeks ago, couldn't say too much but now that the cats out of the bag ,heads off to Newcastle Red Bulls post Super Rugby
Domiciled on around 95 x games for Hawkes Bay atm but I guess he can catch those when he returns to NZ
Also has an english mother and grandparents so also qualifies for england

This post is deleted!

He is a good prop but not good enough for the current English squad IMO.

@cgrant possibly but you never know I was surprised Ethan Roots was capped and I never saw him as international player , 1 game for the NZ Māori

great servant for the Magpies and the canes. Decieving turn of pace especially in earlier years and recall he sets some pretty high benchmarks in the power lifting department. Also rate how hes never gotten ready of the mop on his head.

@Steven-Harris
Maybe but given the presence of Genge and Baxter plus Obano's emergence, I still have some doubts about his capacities to be selected.
