Unless he has got himself citizenship he will have start his residency again as a foreign player. Van Wyk is in the same boat.

Brumbies EPS players will be only on one year deals.
I feel physically sick even thinking about them being at the Rebels-no way I could bear watching ANY super rugby ever again. I. Just. Want. Our. Boys. Back. Till then -nada.
Anyone know where Gus Cottrell is going next season? I see he left Perth a couple of days ago :-(
I'm very worried about the number of local players leaving - do they know something we don't RE the Force/IPRC? I figure we can always replace the imported players but if the locally developed players are gone too, where does that leave us? Of course players need to earn a living but I have no confidence the ARU will let those players come back on a professional level.
They have to do something next year as the IPRC is likely to commence in 2019. Those on EPS contracts will become free agents again next year
Verity-Amm has been announced at the Brumbies. One season deal
So far this is where they have gone
Rebels - 11 plus the Coach
Brumbies - 4
Waratahs - 1
South Africa - 2
UK - 2
Retired - 1
Now 12 to Rebels including Coleman
TWAS goes on about the Rebels have less players signed than this year which is bs. The Rebels used Sydney club players on short term deals to cover injuries, have signed players who command higher salaries next year and they have signed the whole Force coaching set up not just Wessels. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kevin Foote end up there too.Quote:
Rebels - 11 plus the Coach
There are players like Scoble, Cowan, Robbie Coleman, Rona, Peni, Richie Arnold left without deals for next year.
Bar a couple of players the majority that have gone to the Rebels have signed multiple season contracts.

"I sort of had an option at the Rebels but as soon as the Brumbies came through I was really quick to take it because I knew the opportunity that was at hand.
