Confirmed Transfers

Wait till we cap Sotutu to prevent him going to Fiji.

Not sure they'd want him tbh, vaguely remember them not being keen on the nation swapping when it came in and saying they wanted players who wanted to play for Fiji not see them as a last resort
They rejected Nathan Hughes when he tried to swap to them

If only the RFU weren't so pathetic and had that level of conviction

Huw Jones Warriors to Toulon.

Confirmed : Raffi Quirke will swap Sale Sharks for Newcastle Red Bulls in the summer, with the 24-year-old scrum-half joining on a two-year deal.

 

[Reiser99]

If he stays fit it's a hell of a signing.

If he stays fit it's a hell of a signing.

IF being the appropriate wording there.

We've signed Bryn Gordon until the end of the season from North Harbour

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Luke James has signed a 3yr renewal

Handy player to have around....if he can get fit again, feel like we've barely seen him the last three season (think he had a reasonable run of games last, but one before like 2 games and this season like 4)

 

[Groundhog]

Eli Snyman to Ulster on a 2 year deal now confirmed. Big lad

The change in tempo going from Asher to him at the 50 minute mark will be insane. Will literally be going from the most to the least least dynamic tighthead in the league.

Joel Kpoku leaves Pau

He’s improved a lot since France

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wonder if he might go Toulon for the rest of the season, if he's left with immediate effect?
Guessing they've got an injury crisis going on with the bringing in of Kpoku Jr - might get Joel on the cheap if he wants to play alongside his brother

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I would take him at Tigers as a Martin replacement TBH similar build at 26 prob got 3 years before hitting his prime
Sale could prob do with both though given they also play in the back row
