Transfer Rumours Involving The Top League

[munstermuffin]

like what ratapprentice said the teams like Panasonic Wild Knights, Toshiba Brave lupus etc. are actually owned by the companies so the money they get from their business they invest some off they're money into the rugby teams and since these business are well known for making money they invest more money into the rugby teams it also explain how japanese teams are buying super 15 players and really good players

Understand now but what type of level is league on par with as it seems to have a decent quality of players

 

[ratsapprentice]

By all accounts the skill levels are extremely high - as good as pretty much anywhere.
It's the physicality that doesn't match up to top level rugby found elsewhere.

I have no idea how well any of the top teams would do in something like the RFU Championship or Italian teams though.

Rob Penney is leaving Munster at the end of the season, supposedly to take up a 3 year contract with a Top League club paying him €200,000 per year more than Munster were! He's a major coup for whoever gets him.
