[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 775822, member: 73592"] To me, it sounds like the RFU headhunted Borthwick, and in doing so did nothing wrong. Negotiation then took place between Bristol and the RFU; but that those negotiations broke down, probably due to greed by Bristol (whether financial or for how much time they'd "allow" him with England). Borthwick then quits as he sees it as his last resort, and relations between himself and Bristol have deteriorated as well. RFU sign him as he's now a free agent; and announce this signing. Bristol threaten court action, as a bluff to increase the payment. Bristol supporters (not necessarily the club) hang their hat onto a couple of misunderstandings (tapping up, we don't acknowledge his resignation); and defend their club, possibly surprised that there isn't more anti-RFU tendencies amongst the club supporting public.
