[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1099036, member: 34990"] It's not unheard of, though not massively common - sometimes it's due to them moving school/university (i.e. Alex Mitchell moved from Sale to Northampton when he switched schools for Sixth Form, I think Mako going from Bristol to Saracens was because his Mom got a job in London - not sure if he signed a senior contract outright though, was 19/20 at the time but very highly rated), sometimes for money (Umaga from Tigers --> Wasps) and sometimes because they're released (which is I think the case with the Bristol players - Alex Groves and Ben Bamber were both released by Bristol last season, and we signed both to our academy) [/QUOTE]
