Newcastle Falcons import giant 6'8, 122kg American lock from Bordeaux-Begles

But as we’ve seen with the All Blacks, and the Canes quarter final against the Chiefs, big teams can easily bully an opposition not in the right mindset and cause havoc with the nice fancy running plays teams may be able to use against a ‘normal’ sort of defence. The Canes have only been clicking for a couple of games now and they’ve already be tested heavily, still the timing couldn’t be more perfect for them to find out.

I’m a Bears fan and can’t believe how they are now - with Bath (H) and Sale (A), looking likely to not secure a top 4 finish after sitting in 2nd for most of the season. Only saving grace is Bath may send a weakened side to AG given they’ve already secured a home play off birth. Glos. On today’s showing at least, probably deserve 4th spot.

By the time the next WC is finished, Ta’lea will be 30 or 31. It’s a big risk to think he’ll be as quick as he is now and commanding the same money, those are just the unavoidable facts of life. I don’t think exposure to top rugby or lack thereof has much to do with it, wing is a pretty low attrition position. Yes, some wingers can carve out longer international careers, but they usually move in a position or two, where speed is not so critical.
