    Bird made the ABs based on his stats on paper. In reality he never lived up to the billing. We see how he goes in Paris.

      @billy-tell Not sure whether that's entirely fair. He's had a horrendous number of injuries over the years.

        Plus being behind probably the best AB locking pair in history.

          Last super season Bird was excellent at that level.

          Was starting to look real AB class. Shame he got injured.

          Possibly missed his window now.

                  Sadly he has spent too much time with the quack recently and an ABs gig is cloud cuckoo land stuff. Deserves a chance to migrate north and feather his nest.

                    I guess the question is - will he soar to new heights, or will it turn out the NZ system was the wind beneath his wings.

                            I've actually heard of this guy.

                            Good. Means he'll probably play for Fiji, assuming IRFU don't do the project player contract anymore now it's extended to 5 years?

                                Never was. Plenty of uncapped players have come and left. Some have stayed 4, 5, 6 years. They left again. There’s no special contract. It’s a contract same as any other. Reece is most likely on a one year with option to renew. Even three year contract didn’t necessarily make a player resident e.g. Aki with Connacht. And Connacht aren’t in the Player Succession Strategy anyway so don’t have project player dispensation.
