    @Machpants That’s pretty shocking. You do wonder how much CVC have to do with such a decision.

    Was wondering what impact if any this might have on the SH Exodus, so scanning a few squad lists.

    Seems like the answer is not much.

    I did, however, find 41 year old Mark Bright still listed among the players for London Scottish!

    Two million a year? Shit, might have to drop a player I guess.

    Lots of them have said they're staying, but if the Championship carry out their threat of a salary cap, they won't. And until signings are announced who knows? With what the RFU have just done with payments to the Championship, the clubs there won;t be able to afford decent players, so the cream will leave. So how does playing what amounts to an NPC level comp do for your Eng & Lions ambitions?

    You've gotta love Hogg's response (in a game he asked to play in, was down to rest between 6N games) to his recent dropsies!

    Young

    Tipped to be heading back to Wales to coach the Ospreys.

    Stepping stone to Welsh coach.

    If that comes to pass, then

    Welsh player, Welsh captain, Welsh coach

    Not many (if any) of those.
