    @mariner4life The problem here is the JRFU. This is not about World Rugby for once.

    I'm not absolving the JRFU of anything, i have heard enough about them in the past for this not to be a surprise at all.

    My shot at World Rugby is their constant bullshit lip service to "growing the game" when they do anything but. Anyone who thought that holding a World Cup in Japan, a mature rugby market, was going to do anything, is fucking deluded. So again, they are either idiots, or actually not focused on "growth" at all.

    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.

    This covid related financial crisis could see some strength in depth in local comps if these players have no option but to return.

    @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.
