Would be a great signing.....
Its a pity Tigers didn't get him, if they had, Tigers would almost have had a full house of Pacific Islanders in the team.

Perhaps that was the master plan all along - to turn Tigers into the All Blacks.

Suggested that Kieran Brookes will be leaving Saints at the end of the season with Wasps a possible destination.

You'd assume Wasps would be in the market for a TH given Moore is on about going home. Though wasn't there talk of Hill moving on from Saints, odd to see them lose both TH's.

Oh we don’t want Kieran Brookes, I’m not sure even Stanko can improve his scrummaging

Agreed - and I wasn't suggesting for a second that we should be looking to bring him back - which is why I posted this news in the 'non-Tigers' thread!

Ackerman lookog like taking Mostert to Gloc next season. Alongside probably Kriel and Van Rensburg,the familiarity he already has with them,the fact that he's a brilliant coach and the fact he will have a full preseason and his own targets pits Gloc in with a title shout,God I could kill our board!

It looks as though Thrush may be leaving Glos though. Is he going back to NZ or could we snap him up ?

He’s played well for Glaws this season, but his age-profile isn’t good, I imagine he’s going to Japan

Sounds like Haskell is Stains bound - would get regular rugby there but would have to fight for his place if he came to us
