I'd say it's more now a certain front rower has gone!

Who are you referring to?


As for Ford, unless Eddie tells him he’s out of World Cup contention he’s not leaving England until after the next World Cup and no one else in England would have the cap space for him to leave Tigers

I know a fan highly connected to another club who is close to him and he was gossiping during meet ups

True,but his gossiping led me to break a story on here the day before any press did!

Essentially yes.

Me I'd like to know what is happening, but that leaks aren't healthy for the club, so although I'd like to know more I'm certainly happier this way.

The key fore is that the club is timely with official stories which I think in general it is.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

its the same with Leicester City, journalist will tell you their first 2 summer signings are "done" but neither have been officially announced by the club yet as they haven't been completed in terms of all the paperwork and medicals etc.

Would that be a certain front rower who is now located across the western border?

It is interesting. one of my friends was talking with our magical Australian winger during the week and he tried to get on to signings. All he got from him was an "it's more than my life is worth to tell you. Besides which it would be unprofessional.'
