Dear WFers, long time no log on.
A coupla things; damned well done in Hong Kong, very exciting, home alone cheering for Wallabies! J O'C cometh the hour cometh the boy.
2nd thing is an update on ex WForcer Josh Tatupu. Played all but the last 20 minutes of what would have to be Otago's most pathetic season. At times he played very well with almost no ball, showed S14 class at times. Was offered a 'wider training' contract with the Highlanders but chose to go elsewhere.
Made the Samoan team that played (won 13-10) Japan team in Japan on Saturday.
He is now winging his way to the beautiful south of France;
Castres, meanwhile, have signed Otago centre Josh Tatupu according to reports in Midi Olympique this week.
The 24-year-old former rugby league player is expected to arrive in France early next month. He previously spent three seasons playing for Western Force in Super 14, before moving to Otago this season.
Josh has now completed a couple of laps of the planet in his quest for professional rugby. At this stage a good season could see him in the Manu Samoa RWC team, who knows?
Hope everyone is well in the West and that you enjoyed the test. Gotta love the way the NZ v Aussie games are played.
Take care.
