I'm assuming that will be when Sarries are promoted - or Freddie T tries to sue Tigers.

Or Manu is red carded, banned four four games, returns in time of England call up, gets gets a groin injury in final international, rehabs for a month plays three minutes and aggravates the injury, gets bored with rehab assaults a police officer, faces criminal proceedings, says how much he appreciates Sale support, starts contract negotiations with Racing 92. Returns in time to go on The Lions tour. Leaves for Racing 92.
