Great player and only 27. Always got the impression he left Auss because of being behind Pocock and Hooper

Northampton was mentioned in various outlets. Rugby pod and a few online places as well.
...to which Carl Fearns responded with "Interestingly most of the rumours had me linked there but its news to me."
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Toner is a funny one, teams do seem to play better with him in them, and there was a lot of criticism when he didn’t go to the World Cup

Would agree he would be 5th out of the 5

Good in the line-out but not much else

Outstanding in every aspect of the lineout though to be fair. Brilliant jumper in attack and defence, calls the lineout very well and one of the best in maul defence. Adding a functional lineout to our top class scrum is so important that I'd take that in the short term.
