A snippet from the Rugby Paper of 9 August. Bath apparently on the lookout for a fly half and Neil Fissler lists Handre Pollard as their first choice followed by Johan Goosen should their initial move for Pollard fail.

Sale to announce a signing at 12 pm on Wednesday... my money is on Eastmond (thank god I’m not a betting man).

Bateman would make more sense that Eastmond. They didn't really need another centre when they signed Manu he was really just a luxury signing they hope can take them to the next level. Eastmond would be almost pointless filler what with both James brothers, Manu, Van Rensburg and Sam Hill all options at centre. Apart from Luke James the other four would expect to be in the running for a starting shirt every week.

At a guess I'd say they will announce another SA forward.

I think it might be announcing Cobus Wiese, Sale had only confirmed the deal had been more or less signed but they were waiting on the visa offices in South Africa to open so that the former U20 Junior Bok could prove he could speak English for his visa.

I'd be fascinated to see how both those players did in Super Rugby.

Retallick is due back at Chiefs next season. Arguably the two best locks in the world partnering one another would be brilliant. Tyler Ardron wouldn't be a bad bench option either.
