The ‘Tongan Thor’ - Taniela Tupou - and a 21-year-old Wallabies debutant are among a group of Rebels players closing in on deals to play in sky blue.
Star prop Taniela Tupou and new Wallabies winger Darby Lancaster are among a group of seven ex-Rebels players finalising deals to play for the Waratahs next season, easing supporter concern about a lack of recruitment action by NSW.
Tupou is very close to signing a deal to play for NSW, as is Isaac Kailea, who has emerged as a rising star at loosehead prop in his first two Tests against Wales this month. Tupou scrummed strongly in two starts against Wales but is set to be rotated out for the Georgia clash on Saturday in Sydney.
