All Black signs with Aussie S14 side

[James]

good signing for queensland....

Great signing! He has to be the second best openside in New Zealand. He's got leadership experience with the JABs. Considering there was talk of Ben Gollings being the new recruit (why would you get an English fly-half?!) it is a great about face. He'll make a nice addition to the Reds pack. Perhaps not with the courage of Croftie but definitely makes up for that in skill and technique.

Nice one Reds.

Gollings actually had some excellent Rugby up in Qld club land and sevens as an aside

Braid played for the All Blacks in Sydney this year - so he would be the marquee signing

and he played a few games a few years ago too i think
he is definately counted as the marquee signing (bar some massive unforseeable loophole i guess)

Ive got to agree with tocc, most kiwis actually play rugby as opposed to saffers. I'll take a kiwi over a saffer scumbag anyday.

force are looking at picking up a saffa prop then i hate to inform you
looking at a few props over there including some aussie apparently, dunno any names but dont think its any bokkes
and i dont think they are trying too hard

Pretty good signing by the Reds after Croft retired last year and they missed out on David Pocock

and thank god they did miss out!

yes he is the marquee signing, confirmed by both the ARU and QRU, there is no other possible way he could have signed with the Reds.

The Reds still have one foreign postition available for a player from another country who has not represented the national side in 7's or XV yet.
