the Krasny Yar Wikipedia page also says they have signed Sinoti Sinoti from Aironi and Tom Riley from the DragonsAlong with Morland and Horton, Krasny Yar looks to have scored a massive coup by signing former Welsh No 10 Ceri Sweeney for the upcoming season, although the deal has not yet been finalised. Sweeney played 35 tests from 2003-07, including appearances at the ’03 and ’07 World Cups. However, he may now be relied upon more heavily at the Cardiff Blues after the club’s decision to sack Gavin Henson with immediate effect following his alcohol-fuelled misconduct on a recent flight from Glasgow to Cardiff.
but I couldn't find any other sources for that though
Taylor Paris Canada's young 7's phenom has just signed with Glasgow warriors.
Great news for young Taylor!!

Rupeni Caucaunibuca has signed for Carcassonne (Pro D2)
and Horacio Agulla has signed for Bath according to The Rugby Paper
Great signing for Bath, if true. Him and Biggs will be a great partnership, Nd will mean Banahan will be centre or nothing.
Cockerill will be kicking himself if he does go there and really performs.

I think tigers could easily have coped, if they really wanted to/tried. I know Cockers did want to keep hold, but they've got the cash and the depth to cover until he was back if they wanted.
You think Banahan wouldn't start?
I know he is rather rubbish, but he has a bigger reputation and is an international so I would be surprised if he didn't start for Bath.
The Argentine players will be unavailable just as much as other international players though, and Leicester seem happy to keep Castro and Cole
The Argentines will miss September, and be back for the second round of the Heineken Cup, and the rest of October and then unavailable for November (half of which are LV Cup matches missed) and then that's it
they'll be there for the business end of the season, and miss just over two months of the British season, which is the same as any other international player playing in November and the Six Nations, so I think there's been more fuss made about it because it's a change, and coaches have previously got a good deal out of signing Argentines and them only missing November
exactly, Leicester have an All Black (Scott Hamilton) in reserve, he's better than most teams reserve winger/full back, and also Matt Smith can cover, and I wonder whether Mathew Tait has any chance of recovering or whether he's headed to a sad injury enforced early retirement
Leicester could have kept him (and indeed have retained Ayerza)
Banahan will probably be in the centres *yuck*

pd - Props are important though, while wingers are bumfluff - although yes, their prop retention mystifies me. Besides, missing any HEC gametime is something of a no-no.
Bristol's released list;
Louis Silver (Doncaster Knights)

Henry Vanderglas (Grenoble)
Mark Davies

James Letherby
Will Helu
Very shocked that Dan Montagu has left, was a key part of our back row. He'd only recently signed a new deal but the club say it was a "squad progression decision after the playoffs".
Edit: We have announced the signing of George Biagi from Aironi http://www.bristolrugby.co.uk/news/7...bristol-rugby/

Gareth Delve has changed his mind on a pre contract he signed with Toulon, and will not play for them next season
Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal is expected to ask for compensation, and was not happy about it, just like the tantrum (of which he has many) he had when Gorgodze did the same thing.

So where's he going? I wonder if this has anything to do with being involved with the Wales setup over the last couple of weeks. Maybe he's impressed in training and the management have had a word about possibly returning to play for one of the Welsh regions. I'm hoping so, because all of the regions bar the Dragons could do with his quality at 8. The Blues still have Rush, but he's been far from his best last season, and have a couple of young players coming through (Hamilton looks good). The Ospreys have Stowers and Bearman, but Stowers in particular hasn't set the world alight. The Scarlets have lost Morgan, and only have Murphy really.
psychic duck - Botes hasn't been confirmed yet. Herring and O'Connor have though.
