Player Updates
Former Western Force backrower Josh Thompson has signed with Pro D2 finalists Grenoble.
“He is described as a “dynamic” player and capable of “hitting hard” by his current coach Simon Cron. He also has the advantage of being able to jump out of bounds. This season, the Suva native, who went through a training program in Australia, has been used three times off the bench (41 minutes played). During this season, he suffered a long-term shoulder injury.” – Rugbyrama
