According to The Rugby Paper despite denials and a hard line stance Saints are taking the Toulouse pursuit of Dan Biggar very seriously to the extent that a possible replacement list has been drawn up together with a sizable allocation of Cap being held in reserve should the worst (for them) happen ....

According to The Rugby Paper despite denials and a hard line stance Saints are taking the Toulouse pursuit of Dan Biggar very seriously to the extent that a possible replacement list has been drawn up together with a sizable allocation of Cap being held in reserve should the worst (for them) happen ....

Given Biggar is one of the highest paid players in the league, rumoured to be on a contract similar in size to what we pay Ford. If he goes there will be a big gap in their cap space. He's under contract for next season so they've got some time to draw up a list unless Toulouse are going to buy out his contract which would be fantastically expensive and unnecessary considering Toulouse have a couple of flyhalf options already including Ntamack.

Not sure who's easily available. Patchell maybe but he doesn't have a great injury record ditto Anscombe. Of they sign from the Prem they can't use the marquee spot I assume Biggar is slotted into currently. Carty from Connacht maybe otherwise it's shopping in the Southern Hemisphere. Maybe Boyd has some contacts he can use to land someone like Garden-Bachop or Otere Black.

It's hard to see why Biggar would interest Toulouse when France's number 1 fly half would undoubtedly be first choice.
Ntamack also plays centre , but Toulouse seem to be well-stocked there, and Biggar is an out and out fly half.
This rumour doesn't make sense to me and I hope it's a false one.

However, If Courtney Lawes fancies coming down here.................!

Really good signings for Edinburgh although surprised they are only 1 year deals

Presumably lack of budget. The JIFF rules in France are making it tougher for lots of non-French internationals to go there for an easy pay day.

As forward coach would be great!

Can't see England getting rid of Proudfoot and unsure he'd be happy about a demotion to just scrum coach. Could Cockers go in as defence coach?
