Lawes to Brive

If he maintains this season's form he is going to eat that league alive

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Absolutely gutted.

 

[Becca]

Absolutely gutted.

We knew it was coming.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

He's absolutely earned the right to do whatever he wants. Wish him all the best and hope he tears it up over there.

Jeez, don't sound too excited hey Courtney. I fell asleep.

Saracens have finally confirmed Farrell is leaving

Proper end of an era for them, though after they nabbed Hodgson off us my sympathies are limited

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ross Molony to Bath confirmed. Very good acquisition as a squad player. Has his limits but he's as consistent as they come and has played at the highest level of club rugby.

Jake Polledri has announced his retirement

No big surprise but what a shame, such a massive talent

Him and Minozzi retiring in the same week is a tragedy for Italy. Both could have been genuinely world class if not for injuries.

Happy enough.

Hilarious that it is killing the url

Turns out he's EQP. Can't see him making it but maybe there's some benefit to Bath there, don't know if there's any eligibility rules in the prem?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

don't know if there's any eligibility rules in the prem?

RFU give out a bonus to sides that average 15 EQP players per game over the season, so anyone EQP is always a good pickup

Good luck to him. Why he isn't in the Wales squad I do not know. Well, his weight ****** off Gatland is what it appears to be but his form should've been taken into account.

I'm convinced the weight thing is a load of ******. There are some players who need to carry some extra kg's, and Carre might be one of those to ensure his scrummaging is as good as it can be (he's never been the strongest in this area, but his weakness is overblown) + I think his weight is part of what makes him such a good carrier.
