European Club Rugby

According to French media (RMC Sport), but not yet confirmed by his French club Racing 92, Dominic Bird will be coming home at the end of the Top 14 season!
He had re-signed with Racing 92 in November, but has reportedly been released from his contract to return to NZ to be closer to family.
This season alone, he has played 18 games for Racing 92. Surely, he can still play Super Rugby? The Hurricanes should go after him, but they'll probably find him too tall!

Bird is still only 29, plenty of miles left if he is injury free and mentally up for it.

Hopefully Bird's time in France has given him a harder edge. He never played like a lock of his size.

I reckon he was starting to just before he left.

Stuart Barnes has written a eulogy on how TKB’s fizzing pass and Ihaia West’s gain lane attack has set European Rugby alive at La Rochelle.
Was TKB previously known for his passing?

I recall he used to be able to throw some very wide cut out passes, usually in general play rather than general halfback play. None of the Smith precision bullets though.
