Feel sorry for DMAC,4th choice FB and 3rd choice FH and being dangled by Hansen. Hope he doesn't regret staying!

Mapalangi confirmed:

"At 6ft 4in tall and weighing 17st 9lb, the 24-year-old Mapapalangi is a physical presence in attack and defence from the back row and has gained experience in New Zealand with Auckland, Waikato, Chiefs and Manawatu."

The last tweet says to not put the popcorn away just yet......not sure whether that implies that there's only one more to come or not. I never was the most patient type. Hurry up Tigers and put us out of our misery!!!

I expect only those 3 additional signings in 2017.

I think it is pretty obvious Hansen doesn't see him as a international player IMO (Yet at least) prob wants to keep him though to help keep the standard of the super rugby teams up.

His best chance will be after the 2019 RWC when he leaves and someone else comes in.

He should and it's why i think it is possible.

But it might be a 2018 thing now.
