Big lad!
Captain of the Chiefs in Super Rugby, current All Black, also recognised as a top Sevens player.
Sounds like a very good signing IF true.

edit - & the Chiefs are currently well on top in the Super Rugby standings.

Wow, if true it's really snuck under the radar, can't find anything about it on google. Still, I guess the Ma'a Nonu near-signing didn't really get any publicity until after the event either.

What position would he play if he's a flanker?

would be a good signing in the backrow given his size and probably a good replacement for ellis could spell the end of heighno/liam though

 

[Suzie-Q]

Wish it was Liam Neeson.

He signed a two year contract last year with NZ Rugby & the Chefs, so he's under contract till end of next year, but stranger things have happened

 

[LARDS]

He could be next years obligatory "marquee" signing.
Edit: or maybe the year after.

The old breakaway position.
RL = backrow

 

[tigerbenji]

How much does he weigh & is he very mobile, & can he tackle.

 

[Guest]

I await confirmation with baited breath…

Don't worry, John Grant will be pushing for a NRL spot towards the end of the season, was good in a badly bashed up Balmain side that came home with a wet sail against Newcastle last weekend.
