Halfpenny hasn't won a Grand Slam.
Why would Cardiff offer Stoddart the 15 shirt? He is an awful full back.
Cymro is gay.

Help Support The Rugby Forum :
On December 2nd, nothing has been confirmed since, the article had nothing reliable in it, it was picked up by sites like Planet Rugby all saying the same thing as the article in French. Until official word comes out then I don't believe it. The same occurred in 2008 regarding King and Clermont, so I would approach with caution.

Hey, Filise is a legend. Just look into his eyes and I'm sure you'll be convinced. I'm not even sure he can speak.
I hear Nicky Robinson's on his way back. I hope Parks is off. He doesn't suit the Blues. I can't see Priestland leaving the Scarlets, at least not until he's into the Welsh side.

I hope Robbo goes back to Cardiff. He has a year left though, doesn't he?

Didnt expect Faumuina to leave, he had alot of promise and is still very young. Hes already three times the player Fillise was.

He's out of contract at the end of this season.
Andy Powell is apparently becoming a free agent between the end of the season and a few days after the start of the World Cup, then his new contract with Wasps kicks in, meaning he's free for all the World Cup warm-up games and build-up to the tournemnt itself. Novel idea.
Also, Henson is looking to leave Sarries. Hopefully the Ospreys can get him back in for Hook.
Will be interesting to see if he does, as he did make a point of wanting to stick in/around London, but really: Noone needs him (with the exception of maybe Irish, who've stopped playing Ryan Lamb for some reason)
That is a good idea by Powell (or more likely - Shaun Edwards) - 'handshake agreement' that they'll sign him after the WC, so they release him before the warmups

Love if Powell does a runner in a .... golf kart :lol:

He's a good player. If he goes to Ulster it would mean that all four provinces would have Irish qualified tightheads playing for them, and 3 of them wouldn't be awful. Things are looking better at TH.
It also potentially means for Ulster being able to turn McAllister and Brookes into a long term partnership... 22 and 21 respectively. Good for Ulster (and Ireland). Apparently his mum's from Ulster too.
Still... only forum talk so far. But fingers crossed.

I'm certain hes signed for Leicester. I'd be shocked if all the sites were wrong.
Nooo! You gots me all excited about him.
Well we'll see... but you can't hog all the good young tightheads!
Wouldn't be the first time sites got it wrong or contracts got cancelled. But its all speculation at this stage.
edit: speculation the rumour started himself has now cast doubt on... ah well.

It happened with Tonga'huia last season
Re Tonga'uiha: Not quite. That wasn't a contract, more a pre-signinging signing. So while compensation had to be paid, there was a get out clause. Same with Warwick & London Irish.
I never knew there was a get out clause, but anyway, it doesn't matter now. I've also heard this rumour that either the Sarries or Leicester are going to sign a hooker from Edinburgh
Ross Ford. Epic fail.
To be honest, I'd never heard of him until I heard the rumour.
