Transfers Rumours

[munstermuffin]

Sam is leaving Munster for certain. Will be officially confirmed in next few weeks but he he leaving

Luther Burrell to Sale Sharks (has been reported by everyone apart from Sale - his team mates, commentators, match reports, news papers etc. all say he's going to Sale but it's not been announced yet)


Daily Express (I think?) are saying Sam Tuitopou is heading to Sale as well

Good player. Would have got a lot more time at Munster I feel, if it wasn't for that suspension he picked up in the middle of the season ruining his flow.

Sivivatu to Clermont.

Sivivatu to Clermont.

Thread already about him in the Top 14 section.

He got more than enough time and they ran out of patience because he's been bad to average. The poor back play of Munster is not helping but that aside he's been poor.

 

[munstermuffin]

Have to agree with Profitius. He is a good player just hasn't been what was hoped for in Limerick

Ambitious Racing-Métro 92, meanwhile, could be on the cusp of pulling off a massive transfer coup by landing All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter.

Midi-Olympique has reported that initial contact was made between the Paris club and Carter way back in November and that contract talks had been progressing ever since. Carter has previously played for Catalan side Perpignan - although his playing time was severely cut short due to a ruptured Achilles - and has made no secret of his desire to return to France.

Perpignan recently agreed a deal with Welsh fly-half James Hook, paving the way for Racing to pursue their man.

Racing could certainly afford the All Blacks fly-half as they are bankrolled by multi-millionaire Jacky Lorenzetti, and Midi Olympique quoted the Racing president as saying "Daniel Carter, yes why not?".

Interesting.

where have you heard he is leaving?

 

[munstermuffin]

Work with Munster branch but well it has been fairly common knowledge he was only brought in for a year unless we miss out on targets

I would be genuinely suprised if he left NZ.

 

[munstermuffin]

Been honest there is noone signed to replace anyone yet

 

[Draggs]

Ospreys, perhaps.

 

[munstermuffin]

Sale was the rumour

Someone on COYS seems to think Cato is on his way to Saints. Would have been very excited about that prospect 18 months ago, not so sure now. Maybe a change of scenery is what the guy needs, but he's been ruddy awful over the past year or so.

Tuitupou set for Munster exit
