Re: Formerly of this parish
Watching recording of the Blues v Highlanders game mentioned Freddie Burns off to Japan after his time at the Highlanders.
It was always thought likely he would return, but first time I’ve heard it confirmed

So much for Harry Glynn's performance for La Rochelle ~ he has been offloaded to lower Beziers, another team that Tigers played against all those years ago.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 2:42 pmGood for him. 2 Top 14 appearances, 3 tries! Sign him up!
Zack Henry is leaving Pau for Stade Francais and that looks a good move for him, good point scorer for Pau this season.
Delighted that one of this seasons legends Jimmy Gopperth is off to Provence too, enjoy and thanks!

Re: Formerly of this parish
Odogwu is leaving Stade Francais
Re: Formerly of this parish
Given he's in the Italy squad and Benneton have some investment behind them I could see him ending up there.
He wouldn't be the only FOTP there from Tigers either. Snyman has just signed of course, Tiz Pasquali is still there and has developed into a a really decent TH, whilst Jacob Umaga (didn't play a senior game but came through the academy a year after Odogwu of course) is also there.

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

He certainly had some wheels, no stopping him. Great tries.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 8:02 pm https://youtu.be/xCPu_QUKlE4

Re: Formerly of this parish
Just read on Rugbyrama that Ben White will join Toulon after the World Cup. Don’t yet know the length of the contract.
Semper in excretia
Re: Formerly of this parish
On a podcast (rigbiz maybe?) he said he'd signed back to Shokki on a two year deal. Never picked up anywhere in the mainstream press I could see.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 10:30 am Watching recording of the Blues v Highlanders game mentioned Freddie Burns off to Japan after his time at the Highlanders.

Re: Formerly of this parish
Odogwu has indeed signed for Benetton Rugby, for a one-year contract until end June 2024 with an option of an extension, if all goes well.ABClub wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 9:33 pmGiven he's in the Italy squad and Benneton have some investment behind them I could see him ending up there.

His coach at Stade Français was Gonzalo Quesada, who'll take over as Italy coach after the World Cup, so I wonder if Odogwu will be included in the 6 Nations' team?

Re: Formerly of this parish
I notice Harry Potter hasn’t been included in the Aussie squad. Hope he hasn’t been led down the garden path by Eddie Jones!

Re: Formerly of this parish
Was he ever going to be. I think there was more to this than met the eye. He’s back home in Australia and has a contract with The Force so no harm doneshanghaitiger wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 1:32 pm I notice Harry Potter hasn’t been included in the Aussie squad.

Re: Formerly of this parish
I saw a press release of some sort stating Jasper will join up with the squad in NZ following the birth of his child. Best wishes to Jasper and his partner/wife !MrG2 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 10:34 am MVS named at Openside but no place for Jasper in the initial team. Nienaber has split his squad by the looks of this
