He's always rumoured to be leaving Sale though. Is it actually happening this time?

Ewan Ashman has gone north of the border which had allegedly created room for LCD according to the rumour mill. If you look at the Sale squad though there's a lot more value going out than coming in.

I’m sure I’ve just read that Creevy is off to Sale, as well as LCD.

Confirmed, though says for personal reasons he's going back home so probably not Montpellier...

Freddie Burns having returned from Highlanders has been spending a lot of time with Andy Robinson and Bath, apart from his trip to Northern Ireland for his brothers wedding, so I am advised. Player / Coach maybe?

His family live in Bath don't they? I can't see him wanting to go back to Bath after the way he was treated there last time

It may turn out to be a case of the euro being mightier than the rand. :smt005
After all at 32 it may be his final chance to top up his pension before heading home.
