Jack Bowen

Lachie McCaffrey, I think, was one of the coaches at the time as well at the Tahs, ex-Tigers player.

Another link for the future is, is it Jack Bowen? You must have known him as well.

Uh, he's joining Tigers or he's gone on loan to Mitsubishi Dinaboars, as people will know.

Is he worth l- getting excited about, do you think, Will?

They had some kicking issues.

On the other side, if you look at East's, Jack Bowen's running water.

He's not playing.

Was he not allowed to play? Yeah, it's not...

So I think there was a bit of...

They were ruining the fact that they really liked Jack Bowen and they kicked the tyres on Jack Bowen.

They just didn't need him.

Right.

And then he signs with Leicester and a few weeks later, Mackay's.

So it's a really lost opportunity there because Jack Bowen would have been perfect for them.

That would have been quite interesting to see.

And now you've got to find...

On player signings, there's been a couple in the last few weeks as well that we should mention.

Jack Bowen, fly half 22 from the Waratahs.

Sporting dynasty, by the way.

His dad played for Australia.

And then we've got some other news this week as well.

We signed a new player, Jack Bowen.

We signed on a multi-year deal.

He's a fly half, but his first season, we will be loaning him out to our Japanese partners, Dinobores.

Final question.

Um, or not a question, but a story this week, Eoin McKenzie, and it's, it's Jack Bowen, um, the very talented Waratahs, uh, fly-half.

Only a young man.

He'd be 21, maybe 22.

It's a multi-year deal.

From 2027 on, he'll be playing at Leicester.

Uh, it's not a good sign, I don't think, when we see talented young players like Jack Bowen leaving Australia, uh, to, uh, undertake their craft in another part of the world.

You know, Australian rugby needs talented players like Jack Bowen, and they need to be developed.
