Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20

Sam was always considering a move down under at the end of last season so hence only signed a short term contract.

And Roberts has considered a move to South Africa and hence been released from his contract. Why is it reasonable to therefore suggest that Bath could be cheats?

Rumour that Lyon are interested in taking Farrell, Itoje and Billy V.
The Premiership could possibly lose some of it's best players.
I thought that Lewington was excellent for Saracens when he came on today.

I think Billy V's price just went down...

I don’t believe it’s an exceptional circumstance for Jones to able to pick any Sarries players in Lyon, won’t stop Gatland for Lions of course.

I do not think Billy V is as good as he is cracked up to be, but with Sarries financial position he may take another break from the game.

One of the revelations of the Rugby World Cup, 26 year-old Japan winger Kotaro Matushima, is said to be joining Clermont. The South African born player was with Toulouse in 2011/12 in their "espoirs" (development squad), and Toulouse were among other clubs including Toulon and Racing to sign him.

You have to feel for Yorkshire Carnegie, they really could have been a powerhouse club but its become a case study in what not to do with a rugby team

Surprised they've tempted Jean-Baptiste away from Toulouse. A blow for Tolouse he's got their backs playing some lovely stuff.

A complete shower. The arrogance to rename the club Yorkshire. Farce last season should have seen them automatically relegated. Look like they've got a skeleton side propped up with loan signings this year.

Yikes, did not realise he'd been given the HC job, and from the looks of the table it didn't go well. Whoever decided to give a 29 year old with no coaching experience that responsibility needs their head looking at. Here's hoping his next endeavour is more of a success.

TBF to Ford he never had a chance.

The coaching is far from the worst of their worries.

Sam, JBE left Toulouse a couple of season’s ago under a bit of a cloud as their backs weren’t playing well at the time.
Clement Poitrenaud, another former Toulouse player is now backs coach.

Ah thanks. That would explain it.
