Hugo Southwell would be quite a good signing. A solid out and out fullback something we dont have.

Cmon Southwell may not be the greates international player of all time but hes a solid enough club player. From what i hear hes been playing quite well for Stade Francais

what about Tom Shanklin (retirement)

 

[scar123]

Matthew Scott (Currie RFC-Edinburgh Rugby)
Scott Wight (Melrose RFC-Glasgow Warriors)
Gordon Reid (Ayr RFC-Glasgow Wariors)
Tom Davies (Cardiff Blues)

may i also point out even though <CITE>www.rugby-transferts.com/</CITE> is a very useful website, it is not only transfers of there or transfers from other obvious sites like bbc sport for example that count

 

[TRF_Cymro]

That site does not even exist.

I've pinned this thread.

PD... it has turned out that the Morne Steyn rumour was the silly journo getting his Steyn's muddled up :lol:

Consequently M Steyn has confirmed that he will stay with Bulls for another couple of years.

Danie Rossouw has signed for Suntory Sungoliath in Japan

The Bulls exodus now is as follows:

Gary Botha (Toulouse)
Gurthrö Steenkamp (Toulouse)
Danie Rossouw (Suntory Sungoliath)
Bakkies Botha (Toulon)
Victor Matfield (retired)
Fourie du Preez (Suntory Sungoliath)

Rumour:
Morné Steyn (Bath)

Possible team in 2012:
15 Kirchner, 14 van den Heever, 13 Pretorius, 12 Olivier, 11 Basson, 10 Steyn, 9 Hougaard; 1 Greyling, 2 Ralepelle, 3 W Kruger, 4 van der Merwe, 5 J Kruger, 6 Stegmann, 7 Potgieter, 8 Spies

end of an era the Bulls? Five key players from their 3 Super rugby ***les having left.

I wouldn't think so, not if they adapt their gameplan; I think the law interpretations has done them more hurt than those players leaving would. Decent cover with the only true loss FdP bu Hougaard will be fine if they adapt and play to his strengths.

Wasn't Matfield going to Japan?

I wanted Rossouw to go to the Sharks. Where do you find a utility forward like him with those qualities? Lock, flanker, 8 man... 5 positions he can play

Would have been a great signing. Hargreaves and Bresler next season I suppose. Not that its a bad thing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nope, none of that is official

I believe he'll go, but it's not confirmed yet, so anything's possible

I remember when sites like that were saying that Sheridan had definitely gone to Toulon....look how that turned out

Ricky Januarie linked with Lyon

All Stormers fans will be devastated :lol:

I still wouldn't mind him coming back to the Ospreys. He played really well during his three months. Mind you, from what I've seen of him for Samoa, Fotuali'i is a class act.

Well, he has done a lot for both WP/Stormers and the Springbokke but he has outstayed his welcome by not being willing to get rid of that surplus 10kgs he has been carrying around the midsection for the last 2 seasons.

Watch some of the games that Fotuali'i has played for teh Crusaders in Super rugby. A much better signing than Januarie IMO. FdP would have been better but is wasted to Japan along with Danie Rossouw (most underrated forward of this generation IMO).

Contepomi from Toulon to Stade on two year contract.

Very good signing for Stade Francais. Quality player who will hopefully re-ignite the Paris club.

 

[iWin]

What's the confirmation for Camacho leaving quins?
It'd really suck to see him go, much as I'd like to see Chisholm get some starts.

 

[iWin]

Well balls.
Can only hope that not having official details on the club he's off to means he could still stay

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Does anyone have any idea when JO'C will announce where he's going.

It all the one he will stay in Oz.

 

[profitius]

Rumours that Lientser lock Eoin Sheriff has signed for Saracens.
