Rabeni and Blues brothers on the move?

There's plenty of transfer gossip doing the rounds. All quotes are taken from this link:

Leicester Tigers centre Seru Rabeni could be set to depart Welford Road at the end of the season after it emerged the offer of a new deal has been withdrawn. Rabeni does have plenty of offers if he leaves the Tigers with Brive, Ulster, Cardiff Blues and Munster all interested in signing him.[/b]

Rabeni's just turned 30. I'm guessing he wanted a long term contract and Leicester balked at the idea of throwing lots of money at a player who's already peaked. Looking at the clubs he's been linked to, Munster might not be a bad bet. The European champions are likely to lose Rua Tipoki along with Paul Warwick from their backline (although there's currently a tug of war for Warwick's services). Rabeni and Lifeimi Mafi would give them a powerful centre pairing.

Sale Sharks are keen on making a double move for the Robinson brothers, Jamie and Nicky, from Cardiff Blues. The Sharks have had talks with the pair about switching from the Welsh capital when their deals run out at the end of the season[/b]

This probably explains why Cardiff have spoken to Dave Walder about moving to the Welsh capital. There's bound to be a lot of upheaval in the Sale squad before next season.

England second row Tom Palmer looks set to quit London Wasps when his contract runs out at the end of the season. The former Leeds Tykes ace is being offered a lucrative deal to join the ever-growing ex-pat community at the French club Brive[/b]

Tom Palmer along with Seru Rabeni are linked to Brive. The former European champions are well placed to qualify for the Heineken Cup next season. It appears they're trying to stock up on talent.

I've heard the Robinson rumours as well, only for Jamie though.

Nicky Robinson hasn't a patch on Hodgson, and Jamie on McAlister...
Though with Kingsley taking over there it would be no surprise to see the club become a fifth Welsh region.
