Newcastle utility back George Wacokecoke has picked up a new club after being released by the Falcons, with Doncaster Knights set to announce the centre/wing’s signature.

Wacokecoke, who has been with the Falcons since 2018, has agreed to join the Yorkshire outfit and the deal will be officially announced once Newcastle’s terrible season finishes against Gloucester this Saturday.

Doncaster have already announced a raft of new signings for next season as they make a push for promotion to the Premiership under Joe Ford, son of England fly-half George.

Former Jersey Reds and Leicester back-row, Thom Smith, returns to Castle Park for a second spell, Nottingham pair – fly-half Morgan Bunting and centre/wing Jordon Olowofela – head north, whilst Bristol hooker Fred Davies and Scarlets tight-head Joe Jones will bolster the front row.

Wacokecoke, 28, has only made five appearances in both the Premiership and Europe this season, and the three-year contract he signed in 2021 whilst playing under Dean Richards is due to expire.

French bid to poach 109kg 17-year-old dual-code Aussie prospect Heinz Lemoto

It used to apply to only senior test rugby from what I remember. I don’t think that's changed, it’s only the 3 years to 5 years now for the residency period.

CJ stander captained the boks U19s but was eligible for Ireland seniors though still had to wait out the residency rules.

It would be different if the player had a claim on other grounds (parentage) but in Lemoto’s case he probably wouldn't chose Tonga over Australia or France. I don't mean that disrespectfully to Tonga.

Can Samoa and Tonga ever become contenders when their top talent is skimmed?

3) should be longer than that. Make the residency rule 7 years+. Should be almost near impossible for full fledged professionals developed in one nation playing for another. James Lowe, Gibson-Park the classic ridiculous examples. I don’t even like the ancestry thing like Brad Shields (although that would wreck the islands). If you go at 18/19 like a Cunningham-South or Dylan Hartley type then that’s not as bad, you’ve come through the new nation’s academy / development system.

Le geste classe de Gaël Fickou envers Barassi

I already gave up on ever getting cured of HSV2 because i have try many treatment none of them work out for me i have gone to different hospital they always tell me the same thing there is no cure for herpes, when i came across a post about Dr UMA in the net from a lady called Angela i contacted her and she reassured me with his herbal medicine which i took according to the way he instructed, that how i was cured. I doubted at first because i have been to a whole lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. so i decided to listen to him and he commenced treatment, and under two weeks i was totally free from Herpes. i want to say a very big thank you to DR UMA for what he has done in my life. feel free to leave him a message on Whats-app him +2347035619585.. he also cure all this 1.HIV 2.HIV HPV 3 .ALS 4.
