Can I get some gif reacts for Sotutu switching allegiances to England?

Interestingly NZ has gotten one back over France. Patrick Tuifua, born and raised on New Caledonia (like Peato Mauvaka) has signed with the Hurricanes, turning down multiple Top 14 offers. He's most recently been playing with the dominant French U20s and will become eligible for NZ next year.

More unacceptable behavior from an All Black:

Doing something so likeable really should be grounds for expulsion from the team.

The NRL is going to embark in NZ with new teams...

Not any time soon: the South Island Kea bid, which was reportedly the best of the three put up by NZ consortia, has been deemed inadequate & won't be part of the next phase in choosing the expansion team(s).

If only some of the NZ posters here, guys who have been to Aotearoa and maybe even *shock n horror* born and raised there had suggested this might be the case..

^ to be fair they also rejected five non-NZ bids & the people behind Kea, which include David Moffet, have said they'll re-work & re-submit their bid. But that won't happen in the upcoming tv-rights cycle which seems to be geared towards having an 18-20 team comp to take into the following rights cycle.
