      More returnodous but Victor Vito is coming back to NZ. Wonder if he'll keep playing or retire.

        @Yeetyaah Great player; I always rated him. We're not short of good 8/6 players at the moment, but he could still add value, particularly off-field, mentoring the young ones. Same role as Bryn Evans, NMS, Dan Carter ... (but hopefully without the injuries).

          It annoyed me that the ABs insisted on playing him at 6, and were disappointed when he suddenly didn;t become big and smashy. Playing at 8 he was awesome, so skillful.

            not the first player to have guys in front of him that were just so much better.

              @Stargazer Vito was huge for us in 2015 and 2016 and probably left in his prime. Didn't he win the French club player of the year in his first season over there?

                Yup he was great, he was always put at 6 for ABs. Better than Read often

                    Well over-egged, good ferning.

                    Would have probably put him under huge pressure for the 8 jersey if he’d stayed, but Read’s decline happened at about the same time as Vito and Luatua left.

                        @yeetyaah Victor Vito was outstanding for the Hurricanes team that made the final in 2015 and won the title in 2016. I thought he did everything asked of him in the 2015 RWC campaign, arguably the second best 6 at that tournament behind Jerome Kaino. He did very well indeed in France initially winning Player of the Season there. If he still wants to play Rugby on his return to NZ, he will be at least NPC standard.

                                          @daffy-jaffy Didn't realise he was an Irishman! Still I suppose he will probably find some Irish ancestry in about five years from the time he first plays there.
