[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 662621, member: 38640"] Well as some may know, I'm a reasonably big fan of Hosea Gear. As such this is very positive news I feel. I'm glad he didn't come back to the Hurricanes as I'm not sure he'd edge out either of Savea (who is probably the best 11 in the world) or Cory Jane (who I'd probably prefer Gear, but Jane isn't half bad either, especially at 14). AND I think he will tear up for the Chiefs. They play a very good wide game. Both Cruden and SBW are brilliant at getting assists through the off-load, which I think Gear will really benefit off, while they are generally good at providing space for their outside backs. Finally, he'll be by far and away their best winger. Tikoirotuma was a pretty decent winger, made tackles (when he didn't fly into them and miss), was very quick, relatively safe under the high ball, but he didn't exactly create much from nothing. I think Gear will be excellent, here's hoping he gets some playing time this Rugby World Cup! [/QUOTE]
