All.Rugby reports that Geoff Cridge and Jason Robertson are both leaving Bayonne, without saying where they are going. Could be useful Super squaddies if your team needs a Lock or a 10/15.

Though I find him underwhelming as a player (and Priestland - is it something to do with being a Rhys?), good luck to him. It will be interesting to see if this move improves his game.

According to All.Rugby 31 year old former NZ 7's player George Tilsley, who has played for a few clubs in France since 2015, has had his just signed Stade Toulousain contract torn up, after he was convicted of domestic violence.

George Tilsley
Yep, he signed a short-term "joker Coupe du Monde" contract with Toulouse in July after 4 seasons with Perpignan. Convicted of domestic violence and a suspended prison sentence of 6 months for a probationary period of 2 years. I wonder whether he gets kicked out of France now, too.
Top 14 : Condamné pour violences conjugales, George Tilsley ne portera pas les couleurs du Stade Toulousain
Le président du Stade Toulousain Didier Lacroix a profité de la conférence de presse de rentrée, ce mercredi, pour dire que l'ailier néo-zélandais George Tilsley, recruté comme joker Coupe du monde et condamné depuis pour violences sur sa concubine, ne porterait pas les couleurs du club rouge et...

There’s an issue around travel though. I know they used to have to subsidise the travel costs for visiting teams a while back. Not sure about more recently.
Edit: Plus of course none of the clubs pay direct tax because none of them make a profit.

The issue is that none of these bloody entitled clubs can cover their own fucking costs because no one goes to watch them. They all bitch and moan about the rfu but basically they’re spending money they can’t raise on the basis of a potential handout. Rugby in this country is fucked
