Have you seen in the Tigers list that Gareth Owen is down as a new arrival and then down as being RELEASED by Tigers....?

Gutted about Will Fraser, a great player that could very well have been an England player.
It has Gareth Owen as arrived and Will Owen as released.

As well as the 'Melbourne Rebels lock Lock Steve Cummins joining Leicester Tigers on a short term contract' rumour, Fissler suggests the following:

Toulon tight head Marcel van der Merwe set to join Wasps for next season.
Wasps could lose Willie Le Roux who is under pressure to return to South Africa.
Puma hooker Julián Montoya will join Gloucester in December.

Gloucester's newly arrived ex Tiger Fraser Balmain has a knee injury and is now out until Christmas, just as he was getting game time there.http://www.planetrugby.com/news/balmain ... jury-woes/
Jono Kitto replaced Stringer for the last quarter in a tense game for Worcester v Gloucester with Glous. down to 14 players.
However Peter Stringer @ nearly 40 is older than Referee Wayne Barnes!
