Luke is HIGH priority for the NZRFU now. im not sure if that will make a diffrence.
His father said that he realy wants to play in europe. i think hes going to sign with Toulouse. there probably waiting for the all black squad to be announced before confirming it. that way his name doesnt go missing from the all black squad which could drop his value.
i think the NZRFU can stop the exodus pretty easily. if they put in a 4 year standown from the all blacks once you return to NZ. the likes of Hayman, Mauger & Dermody have left NZ with the intention of coming back to play in RWC2011. if they add that standdown then im not sure if the likes of Lukey would go.
