Fissler reporting that

Will Addison -> Sale Sharks
Rory Hutchinson -> Bayonne
Jack Maunder -> Agen
Ciaran Knight -> Quins

Seems like there's a massive Saints exodus happening this season, Moon, Ludlam, Lawes and Dingwall would be an awful lot of 1st choice players leaving

High performance pathways and development manager with World Rugby. Which is an absolute mouthful.

WR has a group of coaches who work with lower tier teams that qualify for RWCs. Helping teams that don't have the finances to be that professional get ready before the tournament basically. I believe Peter Horne has headed up that group for a while. They seem to be expanding that to work more with teams like Portugal between RWCs as well. Raiwalui joined as a senior part of that just after the RWC.

Interesting talk that Jaguares are coming back to Super Rugby, and may be fast-tracked if Rebels go bust. Would be a noticeable market shift.

Hmm that would be interesting. Be a number of Aussie players needing contracts, the Force might release a few of their non-AQ players to make some space but a number would probably move abroad.

Be interesting to see if the Jags had enough funding to bring the big names home or whether they used it as a development tool to expand the player base for the national side.

[GB72]

The bringing big names home would be the concern bearing in mind our hooker/captain. Would have to be the prime target if they have the funding.

[Darc Tiger]

They will probably have to draw heavily from, if not outright pull out their two entrants in SR Americas.
