More Sharks in Ulster:
Reports suggest another Shark could be off to Ulster, Marcell Coetzee.
Coetzee will be making the same transition as Ruan Pienaar if the deal goes through, I’m sure Ulster fans won’t mind if he makes a similar impact their too!
Ayumu hits the jackpot:
There have been recent claims that Japanese star Ayumu Goromaru is the “highest paid” rugby player on the planet now that he’s joined the Reds.
He’s reportedly bringing around £155,000 a month… a tidy sum.
Reds to Red:
Liam Gill the Australian openside flanker is due to leave the Queensland Reds at the end of this Super Rugby for Toulon.
The Top 14 side have been linked with the 23-year-old, having slid down the back-row pecking order in the Aussie national side.
Pocock considers 12-month break:
Australia international David Pocock is expected to decide within the next 10 days whether to take a sabbatical.
He’s looking to study at Oxford or Cambridge in 2017, possibly carrying on from his Bachelor of Ecological Agricultural Systems degree.
