    All Black Thomson joins Rebels

    AAP
    July 20, 2015, 9:54 am


    Former All Black Adam Thomson will join the Melbourne Rebels for the 2016 Super Rugby season after impressing in stints with the Highlanders and the Queensland Reds.

    A blindside flanker or No.8, Thomson was a member of the New Zealand squad which won the 2011 World Cup and played 29 Tests before heading offshore.

    He has scored 21 tries in 83 Super Rugby games.

    "Adam will bring a great deal of experience, ability and dynamism to our squad," said Rebels coach Tony McGahan.

    "He has proven himself to be one of the top loose forwards in the Southern Hemisphere over a sustained period."

    So we would have to assume there is no decision on RG as yet with players still walking out.

    It could be a blanket refusal to have his arse touched by James O'Connor which prompted the move

    Their memberships will drop through the floor if they do renew unless RG gets dropped down to water boy or equivalent.

    It will also keep the media heat off MF for a second year as everyone will be too busy watching the QLD train wreck..
