I am hearing that Anthony Watson has signed for us as an OHC replacement. One acad grad for another. Be interested to see how he does for England today!

If that’s true I’d rather we not swapped!

Jarrod Evans to Quins,strange one that. He's too good for the bench when Smith is there. And if Smith gets permanently dropped from England (which I believe he will) then that's even less game time

Tommaso Allen leaving Quins. Gives them a fair bit of cap space for anothe fly half. This one not going to be lost to internationals (Smith may well be) I'd say Evans is somewhat similar to us having someone like Atkinson as our backup.

Whichever way you look at it what Quins are offering is probably more than the £30k that Cardiff were rumoured to have told 12 players is on £50-250k (Which I expect Evans to be one of) is what their new contract offer is.

Think I'd take that move too...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Take your points but Evans is way too good to be a bench player and like I said if Smith does get dropped from England like I think he will that's almost a whole season on the bench playing the odd game here and there

Given the amount of game time Allen and Will Edwards (not a fly half, or at least he wasn't) have had at 10 for Quins in the past 18 months, I think he'll be fine!
