Dan Carter has left Kobe Steelers. Doesn't announce he is retiring from Rugby. One last go at the NPC?

Highest paid players

Two Scotsmen in the top 15. One of whom doesn't even get selected for Scotland. I'm not sure if that's brilliant or completely fucked up.

@MN5 thought you would be all over the next big thing out of Italy since you love their captain so much. Mario Itoje is a mover and shaker.

@Bones seems a more balanced article than some of the others we saw, where it seemed he was a bit bitter?
@taniwharugby pretty crazy to look at his debut, almost set up for failure, absolutely nails it and goes on to play very little part ever again. What's that about? You'd think after that start you'd be looking to see just how good the kid can get.
Hopefully a change of coach won't see the same thing happen to Ioane.

Mind you, he hasn't exactly set the world on fire for Wasps. Not sure why as he's obviously a class player. Heart not in it? Systems wrong? Not his type of game? Who knows but anywhichway he's been an expensive disappointment.

@Catogrande funny I can't think of a Wellingtonian who's come north and been a hit (kipper isn't really). Lima is a very kiwi type player in my eyes, works extremely well off guys running lines and varying it up rather than the more conservative EP play.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if that level of disconnect is there, what does surprise me is that this possibility is often overlooked.

Thomas Waldrom was a star wasn't he.

French top 14 cancelled, so yeah there is lots of dreaming by NH clubs at the moment.
