Definitely light in the second row, so I'm happy with that

How has this turned out for Sale btw? I see he is pretty consistently starting in the loose forwards this year.

Very very good signing, definitely become a quick fan favourite - believe he's statistically the best defender in the league this season, and has (or at least: had, the last time they released the stats before Christmas) twice as many dominant tackles as any other player in the European leagues
Love his attitude, as well
Reminds me of Jono Ross just without the yellow cards

Glad to see the Falcons owners following their "we're bringing through the youth policy"

Has delayed the Welsh six nations Sqand.

Hopefully he's dropped from the squad.

Hopefully he's dropped from the squad.

He's already withdrawn from contention by the sounds of it.

"My best wishes go out to Wales for the upcoming Six Nations".

Good. Hope he fails miserably. lol.

The wages in France have to be higher than the league minimum they give to returners.

LRZ to the NFL is such a shame for rugby. Lad will go to the states to sit on a practice squad for 3-4 years and probably touch the field single digit times during pre season games and then retire.

I'd probably take free money to do SFA as well, but still.

Maybe that's part of it. The pathway players quite literally do nothing except get lit up a couple times a week.

Next to zero chance he even makes it that far. He will sit in a practice squad spot made for international players and coin in around 200 K to stay in shape and practice.

To be fair he can probably do that and then come back to rugby completely healthy when he's eventually cut.

With fan support like that I'm not surprised he's ditching rugby
