            Jock Campbell. Looks promising - right height and build. Decent boot and counterattack as well as defence. He's 26 now and probably hitting his straps.

              Looks like he might have bulked up this offseason. He looked a bit frail in previous seasons.

                  ??

                  Reds have Westpac on the front of their jersey - was announced late last week and they definitely had them on the front on Saturday.

                  Rebels had someone called Ebury on theirs.

                  The Tahs are still looking - maybe nobody wants to pay the price HSBC or Volvo did previously?

                          @kiwiwomble You'd think an entire fucking off-season lasting 6 months would allow them the time to sort their shit out.

                                @machpants as a fan agreed, last jersey i bought was 2016 before the highlanders sign pulse energy

                                Queensland welcomed big five bank Westpac to the Reds family on the eve of their opening match against the Rebels, while the Western Force secured the coup of the pre-season signing French industrial company Altrad.

                                    @machpants so it was you must be playing in Australia, then you could be overseas but played for the Wallabies 60 times, now it's half that. Entirely predictable slide down the slope to "are you eligible and willing to play for Australia?"

                                      There a max of 3 though, so that’s one tightening of rules

                                        @machpants not quite open slather, but means a lot of our 2- or 3-season Wallabies can head overseas and take the risk.

                                          @machpants so it was you must be playing in Australia, then you could be overseas but played for the Wallabies 60 times, now it's half that. Entirely predictable slide down the slope to "are you eligible and willing to play for Australia?"

                                          @antipodean open slather is inevitable. Probably for NZ too, a bit further down the line.
