Exeter Chiefs are set to sign former Highlanders prop Josh Iosefa-Scott, RugbyPass understands.

The 24-year-old stands 6’4 and weighs in at 128kg but is very much a work in progress, with just a handful of appearances for the Highlanders.

Iosefa-Scott, who made was first named in a Highlanders squad in 2019, appeared for the side in Super Rugby Aotearoa in 2020 but did not return for the 2021 campaign.

The majority of Iosefa-Scott’s elite game time has come in the NPC with Waikato.

Exeter bounced back from their loss to Leinster in the Heineken Champions Cup with a convincing win over Wasps last weekend.

Chiefs vs Blues: Barrett pips McKenzie, shades of Leinster

This game was always going to be a slippery trap for the Chiefs. Blues had everything riding on it and the Chiefs knew they had an Escape card. However, the resulting loss in the final seconds could play on Chiefs’ minds for the next match. Meanwhile, I don’t see the Blues getting past the Saders - unless the Saders try to play the Blues at their own game - like the Chiefs tried to do. The Blues lineout has become a weapon with McWhannell playing a major role. Beaudy kicked well and their defense was relentless. While it would have taken a lot out of them, Vern has the Blues gelling at the right time and next week’s match-up should be a doozie.

Brumbies vs Hurricanes | Live & Latest Rugby Union Scores & Results | RugbyPass

Nic Berry has an abysmal record when it comes to penalising the brumbies. Pings them for everything. So the fact that it was the Hurricanes means they must have been so obviously a penalty that Berry could be nothing but reluctantly blow the whistle.

He is a Red through and through. Never has never been never will be biased towards the brumbies.

Why Brumbies could be key to avoiding a Lions tour cricket score

Now that Brumbies have won QF - clearly prove they are the best Aussie side - how can the Wallabies squad not have the highest proportion of Brumbies? If you study every other top 6 side at international level over the last 10 years- there sqaud nearly always follows this standard correlation whereas the there top provincial team features the most players and there worse provincial team features the least. Sounds common sense but for the wallabies this has not been true since 2014/15 and before that 2011. Ironically that’s last when Waratahs and Reds won. The last time it was stacked with Brumbies was when we won the Bledisoe!

Andy Farrell left sweating as Leinster lose two more Lions for semi-final

Im a leinzter fan and i think glasgow could well beat us,leinsters self belief seems to have abandoned them since that saints loss,how a team who have pretty much steam rolled all other teams in champions cup and urc have turned into such a mess is bewildering,glasgow in winning may well do us a favour,as a loss would make cullens job redundant and about time,his constant tinkering with team selection,and arrogance and pure spoofery is madening,we need a fresh set of eyes,we have the talent.rant over,hoping for a good game with no cards or injuries to either side.

Brumbies vs Hurricanes: Wallabies lead the way, expect the unexpected

Rather flattering portrait of Love, who is a talented player, but the more I see of him the more I wonder whether he really is AB material. He threw a terrible lollypop intercept pass last week that cost them a try, fortunately not the match, and did the same tonight while hot on attack to butcher what looked like a certain try. To be fair, in the other match we also saw Ratima and Barrett butcher chances too, but sloppiness seems to be associated too often with Love.

Now certainly frantic and chaotic seems to be the Canes style, which begs the question as to whether or not he could calm down and find a better balance between speed and accuracy in the black jersey. His passing certainly needs work.

Brumbies vs Hurricanes: Wallabies lead the way, expect the unexpected

Nic Berry played true to form and only blew his whistle against the Canes. He can’t handle pressure games and it was pathetically predictable. SRP needed to have one token Oz team in the final for viewership I suppose. Unsurprisingly, the moaning Oz commentators were not quite as indignant.

This one’s going to be close.

This is going to feel like a Currie Cup Final for nostalgic Bulls Sharks fans. Pity it’s not an earlier start. An absolutely stunning winters day this side.

I don’t care who wins. Just don’t injure any of the boks please.
