Twitter are saying that Byrne will honour the year left on his contract and is not heading back to Wales......Jamie Noon (Brive) has announced his retirement from the game at the end of season

Nathan Hughes (Auckland) ---> London Wasps
Rory Pitman (Rotherham Titans) ---> London Wasps

Two number 8's/flankers to replace Billy. Hughes looks like a huge talent in particular.
 
Can Andy still save Welsh three-quarter play from Reading?
Loss for the Scarlets, he had a knack for crossing the whitewash. I would pick him ahead of Phillips.

Turk back three? 11 North 15 Owen 14 Williams, 23 Ford?

Jordan Williams, please. Looks the most natural footballer to come through the Welsh ranks since Hook.
 
Isn't Jordan seen as a stand-off eventually?

Bath could have quite a backline.
Get a set of halfbacks and you are ready to go. I suppose Devoto is a possibility, but a scrumhalf could be necessary. Knoyle might be leaving the Turks, seemingly.
What happened to Hipkiss?

He's serving a ban or injured atm. But his game just doesn't work at Bath for whatever reason, it's a shame because he was one of the premierships strongest centers when he was on form for the Tigers. Limited, but strong.

I think most Bath fans are hoping that Stringer is going to stay for next season too. At FH they have McHeathcote, Donald (if he stays) and Ford (If he goes). So they are looking pretty strong there, assuming they can get a backup for Stringer, if he doesn't stay then I can see them splashing out on an import.
 
Jake Cooper-Wooley (Cardiff Blues) ---> London Wasps.

Looks like another banging signing from Dai. Looks like he can carry very well and get around the field.

Wasps really is where it's at for young British propping talent: Phil Swainston, Will Taylor, Lewis Thiede, Matt Mullan, Jake Cooper-Woolley... Tim Payne...

Strange signing. Aged 23 and never got a look in at the Blues, failing to get past the likes of Taufa'ao Filise, Nathan Trevett or Campese Ma'afu. If he can't get past those two, then unlikely to be of much use at Wasps.

I'm actually a bit confused as to whether he's currently at Cardiff Blues or Cardiff RFC. Either way, he's captained Cardiff University in Varsity matches.

Edit. "Cooper-Woolley captained Cardiff University to Welsh Varsity triumph at the Millennium Stadium in 2012, before succumbing to injury which saw him miss most of this season, where he was expected to play a strong role with Cardiff"

Hard to tell, clearly he's been injured, and has also been at University prior to that...still, its definitely a punt. But I've been pretty happy with Dai's punting so far!
