    Fergus Burke off to London. Is it a worry that players are leaving so early in their careers now?

    Who can blame him? He'll get double the money and a much higher chance to play international Rugby.

    NZR insisting on only playing NZ-based players in the All Blacks is a gigantic and unfair restraint on players' earnings. South Africa are World Champions in Rugby and Argentina World Champions in Football, despite (or perhaps partially because of) having players from leagues all around the world.

      Since he is staying the rest of the year, I'd give him a cap, just to mess with Scotland.

        @sparky I don't blame him at all. It leaves the Crusaders with a flush of green first fives to pick from next year. Experienced overseas 10 will be in hot demand during the off season.

          There must be some crap welsh player at the tail end of their career who can be lured to super rugby. What’s not to like about Rhys Patchell?

                      Former Wasps centre Sam Spink will join Saracens from Australian club Western Force for next season.

                      The 24-year-old spent nine years at Wasps before signing for the Perth-based side in 2023.

                        so he had been part of the Wasps system since he was 13.

                              Fair.

                                  Yeah, don't confuse signed with Wasps to mean playing with Wasps first team!

                                  Harlequins have quite a few of my son's friends on their roster. And he's 12.
