Exeter have just signed Ethan Roots. Similar player to Moriarty but younger.

With how many big back 5 players they're losing I expected them to sign Roots and Moriarty

Full list of Edinburgh Leavers
If Youngs & Van Poortvliet get called up for the world cup we could do a lot worse than Pyrgos as a scrum half.

Difficult balancing act, they have some decent youngsters coming through.

Probably just one of those nights but was poor against us, 4 or 5 charge downs I think

No guards in place on any of them. Other than that, I think he was fairly reasonable.

..and has signed for Benetton (who've reached the semifinal of the Challenge Cup) for two seasons and an option for a third.

Interesting move for him. Didn’t realise he was now a Samoan test player.

Who can blame him ? Decent wage, south of France weather, amazing running rugby.

Certainly settled in well, and is clearly their first choice pick at 6, their open side. As has been said who can blame him, that weather and family young enough not to have to worry about schooling.
It will be interesting to see whether England are still able to pick him, now he’s taken up a long term deal.
