Oof reminds me of our Highlanders version.

I just saw in the local rag, one of our Otago players has been signed by the Seawolves - Charles Elton. Flew under the radar for too long to make it big here, but when I saw him play he seemed very solid. If I recall he can play all loosie options!

Ah yes! I saw his signing, and was wondering how he came up on the radar for our coach (Alan Clarke, "Clarkie").

I'm always curious about how new talent is discovered. Our #8, Riekert Hattingh, was a Blue Bull (and his father a Springbok), so we had a bunch of Saffa talent on our squad for a few years there.
