The most hated thread. Time for the 2019 version, because some rumours are becoming stronger and stronger, and the French (sports) media are full of them at the moment (RMC, Midol, Sud Ouest etc).
First, Ben Smith. The rumour is that he will join Pau after the RWC on a 7-month contract. This is not a new rumour. It's possible he'll go to a Japanese club after this short-term stint with Pau. (text in italics added)
Second, Ardie Savea. The rumour is that he will join Pau as well after the RWC on a 3-year contract. According to the French media, NZR is trying hard to keep him in NZ, but they claim there are only some details to finalise, before they'll ink the deal. That's supposed to happen when he's in England with the ABs.
Other All Blacks. This comes from the Midol, and these negotiations are said to be less advanced.
Nehe Milner-Skudder maybe to Toulon.
Ryan Crotty, supposedly getting offers from both French and other overseas clubs.
Kieran Read, possibly to join Racing 92, but these negotiations are difficult, especially from a financial viewpoint. They say there is interest from mulitple clubs in Europe and Japan.All in the rumour stage. French media have been wrong before.

Should be a quiet market one year before the RWC.
Lock Dominic Bird (Chiefs) will join french club Racing 92 for the 2018-2019 season.
