And the Canes CEO seems to think he isn’t going anywhere so i guess time will tell.
@Canes4life He should just stay at the Canes
@Canes4life like BB
@Canes4life said in Highlanders 2020:
@Chris his partner is from Chch so she may sway him.
Or he just wants to play with his other brother, now that BB has left the Canes.

Why does it not surprise me in the slightest that you know this.
Surely a move to the Duns is on the cards for Jordie. He'll finally be able to get to the right house to have his maccas.

Officially announced on the Highlanders FB page:
NEW RECRUIT ALERT
All Blacks Sevens Player to Join Highlanders!
20-year-old Northland back Scott Gregory will shift South to play for the Highlanders in 2020.
Gregory, a strong running outside back, had a standout season with the Northland Taniwha during the 2018 Mitre 10 Cup. The same year he was selected for the NZ World Rugby Under 20 Championship in France, where he played in all 5 games. He gained selection again this year for the World Championships in Argentina.
A former NZ age grade athletics champion, Gregory was a member of the All Blacks Sevens team this season, playing in several tournaments throughout the year. He will be a welcome addition to the Highlanders outside back stocks next season with his strength and pace.
Gregory is looking forward to being part of Super Rugby in 2020, “I’m thrilled to be given an opportunity to head down south to the Highlanders for the coming season. All part of a childhood dream.”
Gregory has signed with the Highlanders through to 2021.
@Stargazer said in Highlanders 2020:
All part of a childhood dream.”
Way the article reads, it could just be part of his dream to play super rugby, rather than a dream to play for the Highlanders, but if so, is a bit of a concern for the Blues if you have kids in the region growing up wanting to play for other franchises.

@Stargazer Big news for us! better than player signings.
The likes of Connor Garden-Bachop and Josh McKay are brilliant pick-ups. Can we keep CGB and give the Highlanders Jonah Lowe.
@Stargazer did I not write this around 3 weeks ago. Shit my sources are on the money
@Canes4life I haven’t seen that much from CGB apart from in The Jubilee Cup Final the kid must have big wraps on him, I don’t think he’s even made his provincial debut yet.
