According to Eggchasers Sale are a bit desperate to sign players, been trying plenty but not been getting anywhere.

Ben Spencer: Saracens --> Sale

Think Spencer is still in contract, can't see him leaving Sarries for Sale just yet, esp with Wig likely off.

Although JB has a very delusional view when it comes to Sale.

That Spencer rumour started on the Sale fans forum as a "I'd love it if we could sign him, he is from Manchester after all". There are zero reasons why he would leave Saracens to join us, especially as he has a year left on his contract and Wigglesworth is rumoured to be off to France.

EggChasers Podcast is about as reliable as Fissler.

Hasn't Diamond said he has signed 2 scrum half a and a hooker?

Although Diamond does like the spin BS.

Probably Lee Dickson, Will Cliff and Marc Jones (who would be the only one I'd be happy with)

Is Strings leaving for France so?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Not sure how much he has left in him, TBH.

Rumours are Lyon, like you mentioned a while back.

However he's always said he'll call it a day when his body tells him to, and he's spent more time injured than not this season. I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire. I'm just happy he managed to make it back from the knee injury so he can go out on his own terms rather than forced out through injury.

Well I do know his lovely wife has set up business in UK but yeah last time I spoke to him he was intrigued with France but equally he's a guy who wants to be a starter. I know he's old but probably still has stats of a 32 year old. But agree injuries hurt him.

Steven Luatua: Blues --> Bristol

Steven Luatua: Blues --> Bristol

Oh really?
That would hurt the Blues, he's dynamite.

Luatua is confirmed http://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/38962470 to Bristol

Ford and Burns swap deal also confirmed. http://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/38923684

Ford to Leicester was not exactly subtle and kind of suggested Burns would go other way.

Did not see Luatua going to Bristol especially in their position but with a former coach there, a shed load of wages most likely and a potential to start 'a new era' - you can't blame him.

 

[munstermuffin]

Guess Luatua will have year to get accustomed to England

Donnacha Ryan to Racing
Adam Ashley Cooper to Leinster are 2 doing rounds now

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Crotty and TJ Perenara ----> Bristol

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Crotty and TJ Perenara ----> Bristol

Surely not TJ... and how are Bristol fitting all of these players into the salary cap??

 

[ratsapprentice]

Crotty and TJ Perenara ----> Bristol

Journo who reported this thinks that one of them is pretty much a done deal, and the other is close.
He's not sure which though.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Doubt they are anywhere near the cap currently.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Doubt they are anywhere near the cap currently.

Don't they have the biggest squad in the Prem or am I making that up? And how much is Woodward on?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

AAC ---> Leinster

Would be great and much needed back up to Ringrose.
