Marvin Orie rumoured to be considering a move north. He's a very good line-out operator that wouldn't break the bank and should be available all season given the ridiculous strength South Africa have at lock. A potentially shrewd signing there for a Northern Hemisphere club.

Always thought he could have done a job here at Leicester.As you say both talented and underrated - a great combination if you can get such a player in situ.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

Clearly not that underrated if he's been grabbed to replace Webb. He was very good for Falcons I'm sure a few clubs would have been keeping an eye on him.

Cameron Redpath has left Sale with immediate effect to join Bath on a three year contract. Bath apparently paid up the final few months of his contract to get him early. He's a young talent and versatile but couldn't get up the Sale pecking order. Burns and a couple of the Bath centres are out of contract this summer, Jamie Roberts has already gone so good move for Bath potentially.

Rhys Webb has joined Bath with immediate effect, so does this mean he can no longer play for Wales for the rest of the Six Nations?

As its a four month contract and he has signed for a Welsh region for next season, I'd imagine he is fine.

Oh of course, he's gone back to the Ospreys! My mistake.

Josh Hodge from Falcons to Exeter being rumoured.

That'd be a huge steal by the Chiefs. Hodge looks like a star in the making.

Joe Taufete'e to Lyon has been confirmed.

Worcester have been in talks with Singleton and that might free up the cap they need to make a competitive offer.

I wonder whether, for all of Diamonds protestations to the contrary, they are close to cap? They do have a lot of fairly expensive South Africans let alone some others! :smt017

Telegraph Sport understands that Ashton now weigh up a mid-season move to another club. Although Harlequins has been mooted as a possible destination, nothing has been finalised.
