Aus reporting Godwin will be at Tahs next year. I'd be happy with that signing if true.

Must say that the appointment of Elizabeth Gaines to RWC 2027 advisory board, latest WF signing spree, and essential adoption of GRR rules in Super AU suggests to me that some conversations have been had behind closed doors and the force will be back in the top tier post 2020. Time will tell...

I can definitely see us ending up with a 9 team TT comp with a "Southern Brumbies" concept. - If NZ want to retain 5 team footprint, it would be sadistic of RA to go with 5 teams unless they actively want want our teams to be the perennial whipping boys. - RA's financial constraints means 5 is...

Is anyone able to share the content/gist of the latest Wayne Smith article in the Aus. Sounds from the title that it is about possiblity of Brumbies/Rebels merger as part of new TT comp.

I guess between Newsome, Kellaway, Clark & Naiyaravoro the tahs have 4 solid options but no great options...

There is not a chance in hell that the Reds will pay QC (Quade Cooper)'s contract and he will be outside the 23. They want to get him off their books because he is too expensive and not all that good anymore. If he chooses not to sign elsewhere - he will 100% be in the 23.

I think I saw Angus Cottrell down at Rebels training in one of their promo videos as well? Can't help but feel the Reds would benefit from his services more that the Rebs...

Never seen Carpenter play before but geez his ITM highlights look classy ==>

Interesting Squad. Slightly weaker than expected - I had hoped they would have picked up Ono, Hatekayama, Matsushima, Amenaki Mafi, Thompson, Broadhurst, Fujita but Fa'atiga Lemalu looks a fairly good pick up that I hadn't heard before the announcement. I think the first XV will be competitive...

NZ Herald have cited a few more names. here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11563959 According to media reports in recent weeks all the following have signed for the Sunwolves: Inagaki Horie Hitoshi Ono Liaki Moli Leonardi Amenaki Mafi Quirk Durutalo Tusi...

Anyone have any information or predictions about who the Sunwolves have signed/will sign? Some speculation... - In terms of national team players w/o confirmed super contracts (No Leitch, Tanaka, Gorumaru, Tui) Horie, Inagaki, Hatekayama, Broadhurst, Thompson, Mafi, Hirose, Ono, Tatekawa...

Remember he only just turned 20 a few months ago. More recent NRC stats already say 195cm and 108kg but I'm sure if the Tahs are viewing him as a lock option he would be looking to put on a few in pre-season - to be honest I don't really believe in weight for weight's sake but I would not be...

Jock Merriman (halfback) is training with them as well. Glad to see Ned Hanigan there I thought he was more impressive than Jack Dempsey in the NRC. Has the height and line out skills to make it as a top level blindside/lock.
