interesting choice of club, but completely unsurprising he is going. Good on him - a great servant of Australian Rugby. I hope he does well over there

Great part of the world, good on him - great lifestyle choice.

I hope that he finishes his rugby with the same incredibly high standards he has played his whole career.

The Tahs jersey 2015 will be the same as the 2014? Only with the addition of Ricoh as sponsor?
Are you on Tahs staff?
He deserves it, he has given a lot to the Australian rugby, maintaining high performance in all his caps. He's the stereotype player that Wallabies need. He won a Super Rugby tournament with Waratahs and also won a Tri Nations with the Wallabies. He only needs to win a World Cup, it will be difficult without a top class TH and without second row.

Class TH? Kepu is a top class TH. What the Wallabies have been lacking for the past few season especially in the EOYT has been a scrummaging hooker in Tatafu Polota-Nau.
I will throw it out there now and say that he is the most important player that the Wallabies and Waratahs will need to be healthy in 2015 in order to succeed.
Sure the lineout will be a little shakey at times but Taaf has a reputation around world rugby of being one of the more powerful scrummaging hookers.

Wasn't Taf the starting hooker in many of the Tahs poor scrummaging performances of 2014?
Moore is Australia's best hooker at set piece..

Now Kepu:
Sekope Kepu to join James Horwill, Adam Ashley-Cooper in heading overseas.
CORNERSTONE prop Sekope Kepu is poised to join a growing list of Wallaby stars who play overseas after the 2015 World Cup, after Adam Ashley-Cooper and James Horwill handed in departure notices yesterday.
Kepu is being strongly pursued by French club Bordeaux, the same outfit who on Thursday announced they’d beaten French rivals to Ashley-Cooper’s signature.
The 104-Test centre had made no secret of the fact next year would be his last in Australia and will join up with the mid-Table Top 14 outfit after the World Cup next year.
Horwill will do likewise with London club Harlequins, after the former Test captain announced on Thursday he’d signed a three-year deal to play the Stoop.
Sources in Europe believe a deal is all-but done between Kepu and Bordeaux but it is understood the 28-year-old is currently weighing up his future.

I'm not sure if Kepu is top class, is the best Aussie TH, and he's good but the game has 80 minutes, you need at least 2 players by position IMO

Pretty sure the scrum was more stable with TPN & his lineouts have been pretty spot on for the majority of the season (no I don't have stats on that, but I know I haven't heckled him as much this year)

Since TPN changed his style this year and stopped getting concussion from kamikaze efforts, he has been far more consistent.
I guess not having double vision and jelly legs helps your lineout work, who would have thought
Yes. Seems to be the case. CGU will also appear on the back of the jersey.

When that photo was taken? Because "Ricoh" doesn't appear on the jersey
In the last couple of days. They posted it on facebook today from a 'fashion shoot' for their merchandise.
I doubt the match jerseys with all the sponsors on will be available much before the season starts based on past years.
The jerseys are what they are. They don't send all their stock back to the factory if they sign a new sponsor. They just start being put on the jerseys when a new run is done.

I have heard that they can't change the jersey for 2 years unless they change Jersey brands. I don't think the CGU was in the merch shoot either. That shoot was done a week or so ago.

Looks like he may have skipped a few leg sessions though
