@Stargazer i knew he was off to MLR, but interesting that says former Northland lock, my understanding was he had re-signed, maybe it didn't workout :man_shrugging: shame if he isn't back, he is a very good npc player.

@taniwharugby Maybe he has? A lot of NPC players come back in the MLR off season.

He definitely doesn’t look like a rugby prop anymore. All the best too him, I’m sure he will go well in league.

I don't remember him, but prop Sam Davies has signed with Rugby New York.
@Stargazer He's pretty young, only 20. This was his first year of NPC.

@Stargazer At this rate are there going to be any NPC players left in NZ to fill in any Super Rugby injury replacements?
-
@Higgins Not many! What's left is probably NPC third-stringers and recent school leavers from provincial academy squads, some of whom will appear in the Super Rugby U20 comp!

Anyone know who's in the Canes WTG? I'm assuming guys like Siale Lauaki, Harry Godfrey, Raymond Tuputupu who performed well for the Hurricanes Under 20s.
