          Gibbes to Waikato, Gibbes to La Rochelle and not to Waikato, Gibbes to Waikato and not to La Rochelle, my goodness, they've finally made up their mind!

          Jono Gibbes has been appointed the "Directeur Sportif" of La Rochelle for the next four seasons from November 2018. So it looks like he will coach Waikato first this season and then head off to France.

          From what I understand from the media release, Gibbes insisted on honouring his commitment to Waikato (and resolving some family issues while in NZ).

            If Gibbes signed a 2-yr contract with Ulster until the 2019/20 season and then released him on compassionate grounds to return to NZ they would be perfectly within their rights to insist he can't then sign a contract with another European club.

              Yep. Not a good look from Gibbes. Refused to talk to media when the La Rochelle news leaked whilst he was at Ulster saying he was returning to NZ for family reasons.

              In short, a load of bollocks.

                        Reading that article, Julian Savea hasn't signed yet, but they expect him to sign him "in the hours to come". The deadline for signings is apparently on Friday.

                        I'm not sure why it would be a "sad end to a once great ab". He's had a great AB career and is now going to cash in. His career isn't over yet; it's just not continuing here in NZ. It's sad for his fans in NZ, but not for him. Every AB career ends at some point, but he's had a pretty decent number of caps and a World Cup medal.

                          If he delays any longer it will hurt his value. A couple of years in Toulon, another NH contract and maybe a couple in Japan to finish will set him up for life

                            But he is struggling to make the Canes starting 15, let alone the AB's. Why would you not cash in?

                                  Yeah sad for me, I guess if he'd finished at rwc15 after smashing the French it'd be fitting. But just being on the fringe but not really in the squad, and mucking up the third lions test is what makes it a sad end.

                                    I fucken loved Jules during his time in black. That warm glow that one of our wingers could and would get us 5 points from seemingly nothing, ( the Caleb Ralph day's still scar).

                                    So it's hard not to feel anything but well done, thanks and good luck le bus.

                                        This is one of the few occasions when I'm happy to read something on the Exodus thread.

                                        Not meaning any disrespect, Julian goes down as an All Black great.

                                        But this is a good move for all parties.

                                          The curse of the All Black 40+ try scoring greats continues. ( not to mention the tradition of outside backs who’s career is over at 26/27)
