BREAKING NEWS!!

Armitage (Steffon) seen at Franklins Gardens against Exeter last week... Makes sense as Toulon havent played since 8th November.

Is there any confirmation on this?

Sorry for the different questions, new to the forum and trying to catch up

Mouritz both leaving saracens for natal sharks! Could open up a move for etzebeth

 

[saryboy86]

Botha **

 

[lynam1104]

Gopperth ---> Tigers

****ing take MOC back if you will

****ing take MOC back if you will

The pricks been planning it all along, he's going to ship all the players that are first down on the teamsheet to Leicester. Darragh Fanning will be next, how will we cope?

 

[Big Ewis]

Giant Bruno aka Eben Etzebeth, after the World Cup. To you know where.
Surely one piece of Boudjellal's 'Fantastic Four' project.

[Irishkid]

Max Lahiff back to London Irish

 

[ratsapprentice]

Wouldn't surprise me - seems like he thought he'd Matilda his way into the Wallaby front row.
Turns out plodding there wouldn't work.

Rumours JJ Hanrahan going to Northampton Saints or Gloucester.

I was one of the ones who didn't like MOC when he was here!! he can't handle skilful players imo, and the defense when backwards so much under him.

So happy we are getting Mauger.

Regarding Leinster players we will be accepting players in January.

According to TRP Bath have "had a meeting" with Vermeulen over a move post RWC, and we've apparently missed out on Ben Morgan.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Seems a strange move as Burgess is seen as a 6/8 isn't he ? And even if he is only seen as a 6 than I guess Fearns could move across, i'm guessing Houston is moving somewhere because he has been class for your lot.

Rumours JJ Hanrahan going to Northampton Saints or Gloucester.

That could be a good move for him and Ireland but Munster would lose out big.

Missed out on Morgan because he rebuked Bath and wants to stay at Gloucester, or missed out on Morgan because Morgan wants to go to another Premiership team?

Nah, I think everyone is expecting Garvey to move into the second row when Hooper retires (this is likely to be his last year - 1 year contract only).

So our back row would be:

6 - Fearns, Fa'osiliva, Sisi, Burgess
7 - Louw, Mercer
8 - Vermeulen, Houston

We have been playing Sisi and Fearns at 7 whilst Flouw has been away.
If we sign Vermeulen then I'd guess Fa'osiliva would be most vulnerable to the chop, but it's not certain anyone would go.
Bearing in mind the flexibility of Fearns and Sisi being able to play across all three positions and Sam and Alafoti covering 6/8 - it's basically 3 guys in each position.

Missed out on Morgan because he rebuked Bath and wants to stay at Gloucester, or missed out on Morgan because Morgan wants to go to another Premiership team?

Don't know - I don't subscribe to TRP, so this is second hand info. I'd guess he'll stay at Glos.

 

[j'nuh]

Morgan has gone on record as saying that Gloucester were his boyhood team. Would seem strange for him to move on. Plus, in theory, Bath would be the last place he'd want to go!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Yeah... I can't see any reason for him to leave - Glos are definitely on the up and he's getting picked and performing for England regardless of what's happening at Kinsholm anyway.

I'm 99.9% sure that Bath have offered both Genia and Vermeulen contracts, it's now just a matter of waiting to see whether they accept.

Well I'd agree it'd be good for him and Ireland long term but hopefully he goes nowhere and j'nuh I work within Munster and the walls talk but as I said only rumours but I'm hopeful he stays

1. James/Catt 2. Webber 3. Wilson 4. Garvey 5. Attwood 6. Fearns/Burgess 7. Flouw 8. Vermeulen 9. Genia 10. Ford 11. Agulla 12. Eastmond 13. Joseph 14. Roko 15. Watson

Arguably a better XV than England. Jesus...<iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="display: none;"></iframe>

James is leaving next season - big chunk of cap space.
