"Later in the year" would surely be after he has discharged his contractual obligations to the Tahs.

Surely he is contracted till end of year with the wallabies just like Barnes and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

They've also signed Carlin Isles from the USA 7s team. Alongside Habana, Palisson, Smith, Wulf, himself and Isles, he'll only need to play every third game.

He'll get a brutal welcome to proper rugby, once he can't run around people because there is half the space he'll get found out for being the one trick pony that he is. Isles needs to stick to 7s, he is deadly in that form of the game (from the limited amount of 7s that I watch).

Alternately it will be a baptism of fire for him. All he would need would be the half gap once every game or two and he would be away.
Being in the professional 15 aside environment should allow him all the time needed to hone the necessary skills to adopt quickly to the 15 aside game. Either that or he will soon cookoo back to the 7 aside game.
It would be great to see him operate to full potential in the 15 aside game.

I wouldn't discount him as from all accounts he's a very driven and determined athlete. He has evidently been putting it in at the Chula Vista training facility trying to improve his game. Also, word is Toulon will loan him to a ProD2 side to give him a season to come to grips with the 15 man game.

Even if he is in Pro2, his lack of understanding of the defensive side of XV (and his small stature) means he is a liability from the outset, not to mention he is playing in a massively physical league giving more chance of serious injury. Didn't he only start playing 7s about a year ago? I wouldn't want that on my team on the chance he might get a half break, which he might score from. I don't blame him for taking the money that Toulon will be throwing at him, I just think he would be better off staying in 7s and becoming a superstar at the Olympics.

That's amazing. What a list o wingers. This French rugby is bullshit

^^^ Makes sense. Not much of a change in his daily commute to the Salt Mines. Must be all of 60 metres between Tah HQ and Chook HQ.

Any ideas on who the 'other test forward' is?

Radio or the Wizard would know. Go on over to ESPN sport and check out if Ros Reines BPT (AKA grumbles) has produced his weekly gossip column.

Not up to date on league either but I would hazard a guess that they couldn't offer anything that rugby can't match. Also weren't the mungo hacks saying every year the SBW was a definite to return to their code? I'm sure Izzy won't play out his days in rugby, but given the lure of a Wallaby cap and European tours, throw in the Olympics and I'm fairly sure he'll stay. A weekend in Penrith doesn't compare to a tour of the home nations, France and Italy or living it up in Rio for a month.
