I don't know where the Champion comes from but de Crespigny was a 80s/90s mining dude wasn't he? Normandy I think.

Yes, Robert Champion De Crespigny was a Melbourne mining mogel of French background who founded Normandy mining and got an AC. Is he a relation of this guy?

You would have to assume so wouldn't you? Edit I just did a bit of background, Nick was schooled in Canberra but Robert is tied to Melbourne Grammar. However, Robert was on several boards based in Canberra including the National Art Gallery, and from what I can gather called Adelaide home (he is now in the UK). I can't find any reference to who is children are.

Newbie on here. All this Wallabies positivity has got me excited to talk Wallabies and Waratahs.
I have heard some movements have happened under the radar at the Waratahs.
Harry Johnson Homes has left to go to another Australian Franchise.
Pauli T signed a deal in Japan weeks ago.
 

Pass it to Dunning!

Will be sad to see Harry Johnson Holmes go, but at this point my aspirations for him would be as a replacement rather than a starter. Hopefully this means the Tahs have signed a top prop or two to replace him.

That's a shame. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) always struck me a the kind of guy you'd like to have around in a squad.

Any word on specifically where he's off to?

Adding his name to the list and you really have a genuine turnover of all the old guard happening.

Really! They need better scrummagers than HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) to fix their problems, especially after Medrano has gone. At least Robertson will be back. If i was them i wouldve gone for Gibbon or Talakai, or both

They are also in talks with at least Pone Fa'amausili, possibly others. The reality is they need a couple of props and Harry Johnson-Holmes (who is more than capable at this level) would definitely be an improvement on their current squad

Is Hugh Sinclair signed up for 2025? I heard a whisper he might not go around for the Tahs next year. After loosing Swinton, Hanigan, and Hollaway it would be a huge shame. While he is not likely to crack the Wallaby setup Sinclair is a good honest toiler and an asset to the Tahs.

Please don't tell me he's off to The Force also? Feels like Cron's pulling in all his old charges.
