Still a bit shocked.
Pretty big coup for the Exiles.

Genuinely considering going to watch them play the Saints on the weekend, which I suppose shows his commercial attraction all ready.

Only idle speculation on my part but I suppose he's grown accustomed to being a big fish in a small pond (Force, Rebels, now Irish)

Regardless, it would be lovely if he were to go on and become a fan favourite but realistically I think he's a few years too young to really stay and make a name in the way that other SH imports have, such as Rocky Elsom at Leinster, trevor leota and Serge Betsen at Wasps, Howlett at Munster etc...
