Betts former Tigers and Munster coming out of retirement.
I'm happy that Ben has reversed his retirement decision. Injuries and Mark Tampin (a good player IMO) stalled his progress at Ealing but he's a talented player.

Dimen, Betts, Aniseko Sio, Owen Hills and Jake Farnworth adds a very Tigers feel to the Notts front row.

I was really happy to see that Charlie Thacker has another senior contract as well having joined Notts.

Any ideas where Harry Mahoney ended up after leaving the academy RB?
Last I heard Scotland for Highland RFC
Cheers RB. I hadn't heard about that despite being up in Edinburgh and following Scottish rugby. Highland got a lot of investment a few years back and there was some noise about them growing into the top club in the North of Scotland. They improved massively but still haven't managed promotion to the Scottish Premiership. I'd presume Harry must have moved up there for work/uni as well as rugby so hopefully it all works out for him.

I was looking forward to seeing Sam Yawayawa back in the Championship but London Scottish deciding not to take take part in the Championship this season put paid to that. Hopefully he's still there next season.

Worcester’s highly rated Nick David apparently off to Quins at the end of the season. Has looked really good this season and scored a wonder solo try Vs Glous last week.

Quins back 3 options looking excellent- Brown, Morris, Lynagh, Green, Earle, David- all available all year. Cannot see all of them staying mind. That is six very good/ excellent back three players for the Prem.

Looks as if Gaël Fickou will be on his way from Stade Français to neighbours Racing and that Simon Zebo won't be offered a new contract at Racing.

David’s an excellent signing. They’ve almost got the depth in back 3 as us!
