Rugby Inside Line now also stating B Youngs wants to move on when his contract expires. Oh my, surely no truth to this with Ford having just joined the club.

Well our current plight can't be doing players international prospects much good. Sorry but if I had international aspirations would be looking to move somewhere I could play behind a front 8 that delivers fast front foot ball.

TRANSFER RUMOUR: With the trials and tribulations Saracens have faced recently, it is rumoured Billy Vunipola may leave when his contract comes to an end!!! Clubs that may prove suitable include Tigers, Bath and Exeter!

Yes - of course I made that up. I've simply copied the wording from RugbyInsideLine - a Saints 'supporter' who is best described (politely) as a 'Rugby Troll' - who makes up this drivel on a regular basis. Ignore him.

Yeh rule of thumb if more than 2 clubs are being linked to a player it tends to be :censored: either by a agent or by the person looking for the latest news.

Bristol are prob after everyone but who knows how they will perform next season.
Bath have Kahn Fotuali’i and considering Youngs wanted to play with Ford rather than Burns why would he follow burns.
Exeter have White and have 2 very promising 9's already makes no sense.

The rumour I'd love to see would be the return to Tigers of Dean Richards as DoR - current contract at Falcons finishes in the summer? If he persuaded Sam Vesty to come back from Warriors, I should be a very happy Clearer of Straw!

I did hear last week that Wasps are planning a fair few changes at the end of the season with Cipriani potentially heading back to Sharks and Haskell falling out of favour.

Amen to that. Fingers crossed.

Mays stats were incredible though,150 metres and 8 defendes beaten. And a try to boot. Still cant understand why Malouf hasnt been tried at 13. Toomua,Owen,Malouf would be a very tidy MF!

You really think Richards will come back after what happened in 2004. However I do think John Wells is a possibility.

Also just a question, is there any relation between John Wells and Harry Wells or are they just namesakes?

Of the 150 metres, 94 were vaguely in the direction of the opposition's try-line with the balance heading towards ours! The 8 defenders beaten included Manu and Mike Williams (twice)! He was like a pheasant on speed!
