Launch confirmed by Toyota Verblitz
Bath finally confirm Barbeary
Better than Simmonds Curry Billy. More Ballanced at least.6. Hill 7. Underhill 8. Barbeary is a pretty awesome back row. It's just a shame that they're inevitably going to take turns at being fit.
Willis confirmed by Toulouse
Honestly he's prob happy jumping ship with all that's going on. A season earning more money and improving as a player then coming back a better player. Hoping they let him play still as he's a good player but how much ******* around can the players take. I dont 100% know the situation tbh but seeks bad over there.I guess it depends whether they consider it not offering or not offering one fast enough - WRU have frozen region's payments until they've done the budget or whatever it is they need to do,
They'll probably say Rowlands was being too impatient and they were on the cusp of offering him a new central contract or something
I dunno, there's a very good chance he won't be eligible to play in the world cup nowHonestly he's prob happy jumping ship with all that's going on.

In another situation you are probably right, but do you not think the fact that wales are very thin on the ground they are far less likely to argue semantics untill the WC has passed?I guess it depends whether they consider it not offering or not offering one fast enough - WRU have frozen region's payments until they've done the budget or whatever it is they need to do,

I might be imagining things, but I think I read that he turned down an extension in the summer.I could be completely inventing this but I'm sure that there was a clause in Gatland's law that said that if a Welsh region didn't offer you a contract and you went to play abroad then you were still eligible to play for Wales?
