      Can't remember whether this has been posted before. BOP's Dutchman Stan van der Hoven has signed with New England Free Jacks in the MLR.

          @bayimports wondered why he disappeared to King Country then off the radar when he has such obvious potential. Good luck to him

            Maybe RL is his preference. He's a strong, direct runner with deceptive speed so could be a handful.

              Former Wellington Lions player Mateaki Kafatolu now has a short term gig at Castres ( https://new.in-24.com/sport/rugby/341542.html ) and is on the bench for them (as is also Jack Whetton) in this mornings game against Munster over in Limerick.

                  @mikey07 Maybe he was still up there after the 'Ikale Tahi tour had finished awaiting winning an MIQ spot and took up the offer to earn a bit of pocket money? Some teams are really struggling numbers wise with injuries and Covid19 playing havoc. For instance when Munster played Wasps in the European Championship last week there were something like 55 players unavailable for selection over the two squads.

                      How is Jackson Hemopo going these days? Might be useful as a power lock.

                              Looks like he’s been measured by the same guy that did Adam Thompson.
