Former All Black Matt Proctor signs for Super Rugby side – report
By Finn Morton
The Melbourne Rebels have added more international experience to their exciting squad ahead of the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season, according to a report out of Australia.
As reported by The Roar, former Hurricanes and All Blacks centre Matt Proctor has inked a deal with the Rebels from next season.
Proctor, who started in the No. 13 jersey for the Hurricanes when they won their maiden Super Rugby title in 2016, has been plying his trade in England since 2019.
The one-Test All Black has been plying his trade with the Northampton Saints in the Gallagher Premiership, but is set to return to Super Rugby in what promises to be a major boost for the Rebels.
Former Wallaby Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, current Test star Taniela Tupou and Australian sevens ace Darby Lancaster have also signed for the Melbourne-based franchise.

Funny that I read this after watching last night's game where Matera packed down at openside every signle time. Jaguares also used to play with OS/BS flankers when he was with them. Of course, if he's at 8 or not involved, Pumas could do it the French way and put, let's say, Kremer on the right and Golzalez on the left. You're correct about Matera's tenure at Crusaders where he was mainly used at blindside but also at #8 on occasion as far as I remember. He has the frame and skillset to play whichever back row position he's put at, much like Ardie or Jack Willis or Pocock.
