QUIRKE COMMITS FUTURE TO SHARKS | Sale Sharks

Sale Sharks and England scrum-half Raffi Quirke has committed his future to his boyhood club by putting pen to paper on a new two year contract. The 23-year-old, once described as being ‘as North West as Coronation Street’ by the Daily Telegraph, played his junior rugby at Broughton Park Rugby...

Quirke staying at Sale - really happy with that, I did think he'd be off

I liked the rumour of him coming to Bath, but I'm always happy when an academy product stays with their home club

Marcus Street to Saracens. It would be great if they could get him to make good on his early potential.

Having another good sized, technically proficient scrummaging tighthead in contention for England would be very handy.

Hopefully Fasogabon and Sela push on with their promise aswell....

With Heyes improving that would suddenly give us a bit of Hope.

Got to say, Bath and England have done well with Will Stuart aswell.

I hope Sanderson mentioned he was Northern a good few times. Not sure Sale can make any announcements without saying they are northern

Someone's just jealous because it'd take a legally dubious interrogation team and a 6month stay in a CIA black site to get someone to admit to being from Leicester

Harry Byrne has extended his loan with Bristol to the end of the year.

 

[big ginger 8]

Andrew Smith on loan to Munster until the end of the season.

Marius Louw joining Sale next season - know literally nothing about him, he any good?

Lemme guess a good northern man

Lemme guess a good northern man

Wife's from Salford, apparently, so he's an adopted one

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

From what I have seen of him he looks similar to RJVR tbh, 12 that is big and a bit dumb.
Looks like a proper Manu replacement

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Jamie Shillcock confirmed to Brive

 

[Rinkadink]

Contract extensions for Harry Thacker and Kieran Marmion at Bristol.

Thacks into his 7th year at Bris and has scored over 60 tries, very glad he found his new home at the club and city. Happy with Marmion as well, the next generation isn't quite ready to push on just yet and Randall needs the competition.

 

[dirty harry]

Taine Basham signs for Cardiff... notnsure he's an improvement on Young, and what we desperately need is tight 5 players

 

[Scotty]

With Street off to Sarries and Frost to Bath, now Innard is off to Gloucester.

Chiefs have signed Steven Varney the Italian SH. Not a huge signing but not bad one as he's still young and can develop.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

George McGugian leaves Gloucester by mutual consent and joins ospreys as injury cover
Blamire leaving Falcons, maybe round 100 at Falcons for McGugian

Odd though as he was their form 2 with Blake coming up

 

[Rinkadink]

Where is Blamire going?

I thought there was a big thing from Dimes about keeping him in the not too distant past. That's worrying.

Leicester dimes confirmed it months ago

Diamond is positive about the future even if he loses key players, adding: "I knew we could do with a pre-season and if I could get a couple of coaches to come in with me which we have with Lee Dickson and Alan Dickens to supplement the coaches already working here. The players bought in and while Jamie Blamire is going we will find another Jamie. He has gone for ambition and Leicester is a bigger club but I am pretty sure in two years time he will be knocking on the door about coming back."

Wonder if McGuigan might go to Ireland?
Unlikely to get capped at this stage in his career (though was playing well before his injury - no idea what their hooker depth is like) but is IQ so always a handy pickup by a side

Connacht's starting hooker strikes me as someone who enjoys the taste of windows. No idea who McGuigan is but they need him.
