I remember that! Didn't it used to apply in the Premiership years ago?

Bath have announced that centre Dan Bowden has been released from his contract by mutual consent. On his way back to NZ apparently to consider his next move. Hope all is well with him.

Interesting. I wonder if he'd be interested in rejoining George? Useful back up 10/12 in the same mould that Flood could be and could virtually be guaranteed game time.

Newcastle Falcons have added another proven top-level try-scorer to their squad with the news that Canada and Scarlets wing DTH van der Merwe is moving to Kingston Park Stadium this summer.

What is the salary cap

I'm not sure a second-string Falcon with limited proven XVs performances would be a bank-breaker for anyone.

It would be like Wasps fans huffing about the salary cap when we signed Tom Brady.

Deano seems to be building a top 6 side by the minute. Will no longer be easy points oop North.

TalkingRugbyUnion on Josh Strauss:

"We mentioned in the last instalment of Rumours that Josh Strauss' time was up at Glasgow, predicting the English top tier as his next stop.

Newcastle and Exeter are top of the pile, but the French Top 14 powerhouse Toulouse have put their hat in the ring with a sizeable offer too."

Doesn't sound as if we're involved...

Their backs are getting more and more dangerous. They lack forwards though.

Wonder where their money is coming from. Obviously some from PRL through the TV deal. Not a large club with large fan base? Just wondering...........
