All Blacks test centurion Sam Whitelock has been linked to a move to French club Pau after the World Cup later this year. French news site Rugby Rama has reported that Whitelock, 34, is close to signing with Pau – the same club younger brother and former All Blacks loose forward Luke represented after 2019.Is he only 34?
Got to say good on him really. Hope he cashes up big time.

Jackson Garden Bachop has signed with Brive, a club which will play in the Pro D2 next season.
Interesting I thought he would be back to Wellington. Be interesting to see who the back up 10 for Wellington will be.
Aiden Morgan would be first pick and then Ruben Love would probably have to jump in if Aiden got injured. Wellington is going to have a pretty strong team again but first five depth is definitely a concern.

Not sure if he's that relevant to this thread from a recency standpoint, dude has been playing league over a year now and his last rugby was with King Country. Some of the league sites over here erroneously list him as a Waikato "Chiefs" player.

Section Paloise, to give Pau its proper name, just finished 12th out of the Top 14 so they'll need all the help Sam Whitelock can give them next year. Luke Whitelock is already there which will help him settle. A beautiful part of the world to play Rugby and to live in.

highlandersteam We say Sayonara to our boy @marinomikaeletuu , who’ll leave us for the Mitsubishi Dynaboars after this season
6 years Marino has served in a Highlanders jersey, and he’s been an absolute weapon off the scrums.
“ Incredibly grateful to have spent the past 6 years with the highlanders. Never thought I’d call Dunedin home coming down as a 20 year old and now me and my little family are leaving with life long friends. Thank you to the highlanders family, fans and supporters that have been involved in my journey, very very blessed.”
Thank you Marino, good luck on your next journey 🫱
