Yep, so it seems.
So - Cockers will be top man at Tigers, Toulon and Edinburgh in the space of 1 year! Rugby's Tommy Docherty - more clubs than Jack Nicklaus! :smt038
You can't knock the mans work ethic, eh? Cockers that is, not Tommy or Jack!!

It could be that he is such a good DOR/Coach that loads of clubs want him.

Ross said it was a whisk he was prepared to take! :smt043

Sale have also signed Josh Strauss. It's expected that Beaumont will move into the second row.

24 year old Springbok centre Jan Serfontein has opted against renewing his contract with the Bulls and will 'explore opportunities abroad'. Wonder where this former IRB Junior Player of the Year will end up?

Now we've got some salary cap free I'm sure another big name back will follow Ford, Toomua and JPP through the door.

Can't sign him unless he has an injury I'm afraid. It's now a contractual condition, as I understand it, that all Tiger's centres have to spend a large part of the season in sick bay.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

It's a little old now but I see that Carl Fearns has turned his back on Glos, having signed a contract in November, and is staying in France.

Shame, I'd have him here in a heartbeat.
