Tuima signed on at Chiefs until 2026. Puts those Lyon (?) rumours to bed. Hoping he starts to get involved in some full England squads.
We a Martin back up in the squad, I know Tuima is big, but does he play that smashing big hitting rucking kind of rugby? Or more of a loose player?Tuima signed on at Chiefs until 2026. Puts those Lyon (?) rumours to bed. Hoping he starts to get involved in some full England squads.
Sam Whitelock to retire at the end of the season after 17 years of top flight rugby.
Saw a stat (haven't fact checked it) that he's won more RWC matches than anyone else has even played.
Edit: had a look and yep, it's true. Whitelock has won 23 RWC games. Agustin Creevy, Jason Leaonard and Richie McCaw have all only played 22.
I think so. Franz Steyn wasn't a million miles away, but retired in 2022, so missed out on any chance of a third final.Is he unique in having played in 3 RWC finals?
Is England eligible again too…Willgriff John back to Sale until the end of the season to cover Schonert's injury
If he goes well I wouldn't be surprised to see that turn into a contract for next season as Schonert isn't due back until October, and both he and Harper are injury prone
Wonder if that counts towards EQP quota?Is England eligible again too…
Edit: eligible as of November. Not that I'd want to see us go down that particular road.
Don't see why it wouldn't. Especially since if he moves back to England he would actually only be eligible for England (doesn't have 25 Wales caps).Wonder if that counts towards EQP quota?
Like he can play for England again now but is capped by Wales
Is there paperwork you have to do to make yourself eligible for another country after a cap or is it a passive thing and you just are?
Lot of chat about him and England, is it warranted?Sarries sign Fergus Burke
Urgh, no no noLot of chat about him and England
English mum Scottish grandparent.Urgh, no no no
Let him go to Scotland, think he's qualified for them
