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

[Bovidae]

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.

@higgins I heard that he had retired form Professional rugby to spend more time with his family….money must have been good.

[Higgins]

@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.

[Kiwiwomble]

@tim always rated Hemopo, would take him back in a second

[MN5]

Bit short isn’t he ?

According to Wiki 195cm and 112kg
So not that big for a Lock not bad for a 6 .

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

….and taller even though he’s looking down.

You must give me the name of your optometrist

[Kiwiwomble]

yes, barrett looks taller than hemopo in that pic...but the numbers say that he is....so im not sure what the issue is

[Nepia]

Too tall for the Canes though.

Yeah him ...

... who's he?

[ARHS]

@bobily2 Shame, he looks a quality 10. Thought an NZ franchise might have picked him up. Might be the making of him now.
