    Leicester Tigers in deep, deep financial doodoo. Jordan Taufua and Manu Tuilagi released.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/53256761

    Taufua isn't named in that article? Where did you see that?

    It says that leaving are Manu Tuilagi, Kyle Eastmond, Telusa Veainu, Greg Bateman, and Noel Reid.

    @Stargazer The article mentioned Tuafua nine hours ago but has been editted considerably since.

    This guy looks like the the BBC's main sauce for the story:

              Telusa Veainu has signed with Stade Francais. That didn't take long.

                            @sparky Rob Baxter has said that Exeter Chiefs will shortly announce a new signing “that will have everyone licking their lips”. Tuilagi is the speculation. He’s already signed Facunda Cordero, Santiago’s little brother.

                                @sparky You were right. Now confirmed, Manu to Sale Sharks. Really has me wondering about the new mouth watering Exeter signing.

                                          Not mentioned anywhere, but there is no salary cap in the Championship. Thus these guys can take ( for ex) a 3 year deal, with the majority of the money paid in the championship year. Thus after they inevitability get promoted next season, Saracens will be basically well above the reduced cap. Easy winning there, from the cheating bastards, with their 3 undeserved titles
