Would he be eligible for any other test nation?

Yes, just has to spend 3 years there. Hope he goes to Munster.

Screw you.
Yes we have 6 locks who could all play at international level, but Screw You!

Would rather him stay in Melbourne but seeing he has to go he may as well go to my other favorite side.

I'm being a bit silly. I want him in Melbourne and playing in the gold jersey.
But I'd still love him to be playing in Scotland. And the fact is, by September 2017, Kellock is likely to be retired, as is Hamilton from int rugby, so I'd love to have him as well.

Playing alongside O'Connell and O'Mahony in next season Heineken Cup sounds better

Much as I respect his professionalism, it may explain why he hasn't had a cracking start to the super 15 season. He is human after all and this type of decision was bound to be weighing on his mind. It is also likely he had a chat with Link and discovered there are a few ahead of him in the lock pecking order.
You've been great to watch Hugh and wish you luck for your european adventure. The Rebs will miss you. Good chance to end on a high.
At least we know now so we can begin the search to replace our own baby giraffe. Aside from Melbourne Zoo, do we have a wish list?

Tough for the Rebels but can't blame him. I thought he'd done enough last year to get on the EOYT, but it's clearly McKenzie rates at least Horwill, Simmons and Douglas ahead of him - likely Fardy too. With Jones, Skelton and Carter all getting better that's a lot of people to beat if your coach doesn't really rate you. Good luck to him wherever he lands up.

So your still hoping the club is just doing a April's fools joke. After all they have been playing games this year with there social media.

I do remember a interview where Pyle mentioned buying a house in Melbourne with the no intentions of going anywhere for a while.
How things change quickly.

Probably because realistically his fallen behind Jones at the Rebels and already behind a number of Test 2nd rowers already... Maybe he thinks a couple of hard years over in france (and the money) will help his game..

Perhaps because without the clause, he would not have re-signed in the first place.
I'm perfectly ok with his decision and it appears the club was too. Not that it matters what we think.

Time to step of Cadeyrn.
Posted this a few pages ago, looks like the article was on the mark about Hugh looking overseas.
Edit - behind a paywall
It is a bit sad where one aussie lock is looking overseas and one has announced his intentions to move. As someone said a few injuries in RWC year and we're in trouble.

I don't know of many Aussie boys, but I'd love an experienced lock if possible.
Alternatively, from a selfish perspective, Jonny Gray would be wonderful to see in Super Rugby. If nothing changed but being born a year earlier, Kellock, Swinson and Gilchrist would be competing for 1 spot in the RWC squad, rather than the 4 competing for 2. Despite being shorter in stature than most of our locks over the past decade, he's more talented than any of them, with the possible exception of Hines.
