Goodhue is a really good player imo. One of the few centres in nz who reads the game. We all know he lacks a bit of speed. But still. Good signing for castres.
@Billy-Tell I think the blues attack does 10x better with Goodhue than ioane at 13.
Man knows how to find his wingers

Looks like is Laghlan McWhannell is leaving the Chiefs. Hopefully he's not leaving NZ. Could definitely have been an AB if not for all the injuries.

@akan004 Have you read something today? Apart from the Highlanders, news from the other teams has gone quiet.

Not really an exodus, as he was playing in Oz, but Taleni Seu has signed with Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi in Japan. That's the same club Freddie Burns will play for.

Ethan Roots has moved from Ospreys to the Exeter Chiefs.

Both Joe Maddock and Ben Franks have been appointed as Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars assistant coaches. Maddock as their attack coach and Franks as their forwards coach. I assume they're the replacements of Carl Hoeft and Shaun Webb, whose departure was announced a while ago.

Did the writer of this article have some sort of bet on how many times he could shoehorn the word “Kaino” into an article ?

Does anyone know this young player? Is this a loss to NZ rugby (for the future)?
According to the Legend of Marty Banks' instagram, he co-captained Nelson College 1st XV in 2022. So he's really young and because he's going through Vannes' academy, he'll be regarded as a French player (JIFF) if and when he starts playing in the senior competition (Pro D2 in Vannes' case) in a few years. If he's really good, he'd qualify for France. This is exactly the pathway they also use for their French U20 squad: recruit players far and wide for their academies and make them France eligible (by that the time he'd qualify for a French passport as well), circumventing all rules limiting the use of foreign players.
