All.Rugby reports that Geoff Cridge and Jason Robertson are both leaving Bayonne, without saying where they are going. Could be useful Super squaddies if your team needs a Lock or a 10/15.

We must be just about due for another post from @jauzy019 to let us know all the transfer rumours he has uncovered. They generally turn out to be 100% correct.

Though I find him underwhelming as a player (and Priestland - is it something to do with being a Rhys?), good luck to him. It will be interesting to see if this move improves his game.

According to All.Rugby 31 year old former NZ 7's player George Tilsley, who has played for a few clubs in France since 2015, has had his just signed Stade Toulousain contract torn up, after he was convicted of domestic violence.

George Tilsley
Yep, he signed a short-term "joker Coupe du Monde" contract with Toulouse in July after 4 seasons with Perpignan. Convicted of domestic violence and a suspended prison sentence of 6 months for a probationary period of 2 years. I wonder whether he gets kicked out of France now, too.

Well, maybe Scott Barrett isn't the dumbest player out there ...

There’s an issue around travel though. I know they used to have to subsidise the travel costs for visiting teams a while back. Not sure about more recently.
Edit: Plus of course none of the clubs pay direct tax because none of them make a profit.
-
The issue is that none of these bloody entitled clubs can cover their own fucking costs because no one goes to watch them. They all bitch and moan about the rfu but basically they’re spending money they can’t raise on the basis of a potential handout. Rugby in this country is fucked

Premiership clubs are getting desperate for money, so this is a good time for the RU to push for more control
