@daffy-jaffy Excellent to see that confirmed.
It's YOUR loss, Hurricanes!
Edited to add that this also seems to confirm that he's only NZ-eligible.

@stargazer it's probably a blessing for McClutchie tbh. He isn't better than Ruben Love from what I've seen so it's probably better for him to start somewhere, than be a reserve somewhere else like the Canes.
I hope he goes well and gets plenty of opportunity for Moana Pasifika.

@stargazer interestingly through my contact in the bay , Mcclutchie had been approached by the Crusaders because they would’nt know a good player ..
️ but he had already been snapped up by Moana Pasifika but in all honesty its a joke that he was never on the Hurricanes radar .stoked for the guy..! -

Obviously I disagree with you about the Ruben Love bit. I think McClutchie's game management is far superior to Love's. Love is still in the early learning stages in that regard. Love is probably slightly better at kicking the ball into touch (exit play). They're both inconsistent at goal kicking.
I agree McClutchie is better off at MP, because he wouldn't get enough game time at the Canes. Not because Love is better but because Love is one of the new coach's pets.

all jokes aside theyre pretty much just proving this could have just been a "central north island" franchise rather than a Pasifika one

MP media release (McClutchie): https://moanapasifika.co.nz/nau-mai-haere-mai-e-hoa/
Correction of earlier post:
The media release about Kepu indeed explicitly includes a contract duration (2 years), but also the media release about Christian Leali'ifano's signing:
He has signed with the club for the 2022 season with the option to extend.

On their instagram page, MP says that the next announcement is a double announcement. They also include two Tongan flag emoji.

@mikey07 What about Loni Uhila at LH and Ben Tameifuna at TH? Both are still playing in France though.

@stargazer Uhila is only playing federation 1 rugby for a team called Hyeres
