    Northampton have just signed Dan Biggar from Ospreys. Odd really as they already have Myler and Piers Francis, plus Harry Malinder (more of a 12 IMO) and also James Grayson - son of Paul the ex-England fly-half.

    Not really that odd for me. Biggar's a better ten than any of them. Mallinder and Francis will probably feature more at 12 when he arrives(still question marks over Mallinder anyway). Myler will be 34/35 the season he gets there and Grayson isn't a sure thing as prospects go. Could be great, but could just end up as a squad player.

    In other news Tuilagi comes back, plays a game, does his knee and is out for another 12 weeks.

    It's always sad to see a player on an injury streak - Manu's never going to fulfil his potential. Just unlucky? Too much bulk, too young? Who knows. Truth be told, I don't think England needs him anymore.

    He's quite a talent/force of nature, but yeah, currently who would you drop for him?

    Shocking attendance - I won't even use the word crowd.

    Apparently 20,000 turned up in Bloemfontein to watch the Cheetahs win in a 13-try humdinger against Zebre - 54-39.

    Not sure where to post this; posting it here because he's playing in the NH.

    Andre Taylor has been named in Japan's national development squad.

    @taniwharugby Yes, he's in his fourth Top League season. After three seasons with Kintetsu Liners, he's now with Sanix Blues.

    @Stockcar86 Haha, that's a shocker. Lucky for him that Clermont beat Brive 62 to 6. All will be forgiven!

    Embarrassing but at least he is in good company. Quite a few good players have worn that egg on their faces over the years. Remember Cully's shocker?

    @pakman Nice hat-trick, too! Haha, and Clermont-Brive wouldn't be Clermont-Brive if there weren't scuffles. Always a fierce local rivalry.

    Stade Marcel-Michelin only has a capacity of about 19-20k, but it's great to see stadiums like that always full (and noisy).
