Great news. Geez, I hope he can stay fit and firing. It was a great shame he went from our shores a few years back with the curse of injuries he had. Good luck to him.

Going on past history you would think it would be Hodgo.Wykes was the captain during the samoa tour last year when sharpe poey and hodgo were with the wobs. A bit if a smokey for the future would be nathan charles.

No, we're acting like he was a very good player who had a horrible run with injuries, from whom we never saw the best I feel. Great for such a player to be coming back to Oz rugby.

A player who was better than Rocky Elsom and ahead of him in the pecking order, and whom is a year younger.

brilliant the Western McMeniman just became my #2 team well number 3 behind the Wobs & Reds. Can't wait to see him back in action next Super rugby season. I personally think he could be like Samo & play #8 at test level.

That's fair enough but considering how long he's been out of top rugby he may come back nothing like the player that left. Let's hope he makes a Vickerman return, as if they never left.

Japanese rugby is a better standard than we give it credit for. It's probably ITM Cup level but accentuating different qualities. The Oz Super rugby teams are more than happy to recruit straight out of the ITM Cup nowadays.

Eddie Jones wrote in an article that MMM was running amok over there basically unstoppable until he did his hammy.

It's not at all near the standard of ITM Cup.. it's fast paced but the physicality is not there. SBW runs through them.

I thought Hodgo was "interim captain" until the new coaching staff came in and blessed him. You'd think they'd stay on that train.

Regarding Charles, I'd love to see him get a call up for the November tour - TPN ain't cutting it, S. Fingers isn't the answer.... give the boy a crack!
