    Rare in this day and age, but it's back to the farm for Tim. Nice for him to leave on his own terms

    Levi Aumua has signed with Hino Red Dolphins (Top League) with immediate effect.
    https://hino-reddolphins.com/news/detail179/

    According to the website of asierugby, former Blues Forwards Coach Steve Jackson is the new head coach of Shimizu Blue Sharks (Top Challenge League, 2nd div in Japan). As Shimizu hasn't posted any news items on its website since October 2019 and not on its social media since January, I have not been able to check this.

    No doubt Ta$man will be on the poach for yet another player to invite into their squad to replace Aumua.

    Tokyo Metropolitan Police on Thursday announced the arrest of a New Zealand rugby player for the Top League’s Hino Red Dolphins over the alleged use of cocaine, reports Sankei Sports (Mar. 6).
    
    At around 4:30 a.m., an officer took forward Joel Everson, 29, in for voluntary questioning after seeing him behaving suspiciously as he walked in the Roppongi entertainment district of Minato Ward.
    
    After Everson declined to voluntarily provide a urine sample, police forcibly took a sample, which gave a positive result for cocaine, the Azabu Police Station said.

    @Tim Always sad that a player has to retire due to injury, but health comes first. At least he's had a decent career and has been able to earn some coin overseas.

    @booboo Based on his NZ U20s performances. Trent Renata had a similar reputation from a few years earlier.

    @Bovidae yeah he looked bloody good, thought he was one of the best I'd seen at that level (back when I used to watch). Seemed an excellent kicker.

    @Bovidae It will be interesting to see where some of the older players are going to, who are now off-contract in France. Retiring, returning to NZ, or going to another overseas club.

    There's a list forming: Julian Savea, Liam Messam, Tom Taylor, Loni Uhila, and a few that I can't remember right now. I just saw that Tom Marshall has signed in Japan.

    @jauzy019 bugger, but Chiefs have a stacked midfield so probably not surprising. Wonder if he'll play for Samoa at some stage.

    @Yeetyaah Fair enough too, he’s a Kiwi product, but if he wants the real big bucks (and an awful grind of a career) he should go. Hopefully he has his eyes on a black jersey, having grown up here.
