Moroni - Last one at KP! Thank you all for the unconditional support throughout the year!

At least one person interpreted that the same as I did.

With his injury history it would be wise to have a good alternative on hand. He'd be the ideal signing for a club who's got a good young 10 but are looking for an experienced option to rotate but not block the pathway.

At 34 RWC will be his swan song so don’t blame him. Luke spent some time at Loughborough grammar I believe.

Large number of All blacks heading to pastures new after RWC

Does tend to be the way for the over thirties AB internationals to head off and top up their bank balance post world cup. France is less popular these days with Japan being closer and having the cash though.

As the Welsh Union have banned the singing of Tom Jones's Delilah, then they have reverted to Tom's "Please release me!"
As the Welsh Regional teams have announced their leavers. Cardiff after Dai's troubles have 20+ leavers and of these 14 are being released. Dragons released 6 and Ospreys released 2 with Anscombe and Lydiate.
Scarlets look to be ruthless releasing 10 with many well knowns Patchell, Will Griff John, Halfpenny as well as ex Tiger second row Tom Price who at 30 is not a re-join prospect when we have the Chessums and others much younger.
Times will be hard for these ones as with the salary cuts and the economy.

France ProD2 seems the go to league currently. The contracts aren't as big but substantially bigger than the Championship whilst property prices outside of the big cities are lower than here. Do a couple of seasons there and still be able to commute home as required.
