Not sure, he's only player 12 and 13 at Sale, so I presume he'd only be used there in an injury circumstance (if the 10 and replacement went off injured in a match or something)

Help Support The Rugby Forum :
I'd like to see Sale have a big name signing at 10 and really try build a foundation of Peel, 10 and Tonneti. They need stability
I'd be very surprised if Peel stayed on after this season (he had an option to leave last season but stayed on for his optional 3rd year which I was surprised at at the time)
Sale should be going all out to keep him because if they're not careful and too many go they could be battling relegation
It'll take more then just Peel to stop that battle next season.
Agreed there Bullitt but like if they keep letting quality go and replace it with players not at same level I'd put them as candidates to drop
Unless they get some oustanding signings in these supposed announcements on tuesday I'm inclined to agree. Worcester should be strong next year (baring any slip ups in the playoffs), so they (as in Sale) will be likely candidates for the basement.
My money will still be on Newcastle though. Had Leeds bothered to turn up last week, Newcastle would be going down this season. As it is they seem to have just about done enough now to survive I think the script is pretty much written for next year already.

Agreed as in Worcester are, I'd predict, coming with a squad that has alot of premiership rugby and a good base to work off
Apparently Northampton have pinched Vasily Artemiev from under Sales nose
Just wondering wer Alix Popham, CA Brive's ex-Scarlets,Dragons and Leeds back row.
He's apparently levin CA Brive after his contract runs out in the summer
Will he cum bac 2 wales or go to a Pro D2 (french 2 division), or at a long shot even england

Downey is not renewing his contract at Northampton apparently
Christian Day is headded back to Sale

Would have thought Northampton would rather have kept both.
Diamond's taking Daisy with him.
Apparently it's Downeys choice to not renew. Homesick, apparently (could be Chinese whispers however).

Where would he go if he was to go home though I wonder?

Munster seems the most likely destination if he's moving back to Ireland.
Losing Downey could be a blessing in disguise for Northampton. He's very effective in a limited role- bashing it up. He's not great as swinging it wide or making scything breaks. Also at 30, he's going to get a big contract but see his talent levels drop off from this point on. In 3 years will he be worth a fat salary?

Lads I said this few weeks ago that Munster have contacted Downey and well it likely Tuitupou will be released and Sowney could do a job at 12 for us. I'd expect he'll get a 2 year offer at max
Oh, and Luke McAlastair has apparently signed for Toulouse.
lucky number 7
International
Downey at 12 Keith earls at 13 feeding off the line breaks ....thats very very interesting.
