The Queensland Reds have secured not one but two All Black props for next season one two-year deals. ADVERTISEMENTFormer Blues prop Alex Hodgman, 27, and ex-Hurricane Jeff Toomaga-Allen, 32, will head to Ballymore in 2024 and for Hodgman the possibility exists of wearing green and gold in the very near future. Hodgman’s father was born in Australia, making him eligible, and he will become an Australian-based player once he joins the Reds. The prospect of wearing the Wallabies jersey is one Hodgman said he’d ‘love to take’ if the opportunity arose. “In addition, having a player of Alex’s ability qualifying for Wallaby selection in 2024 is great for Australian Rugby.”
