Manu Tuilagi turns down big offers:
Tuilagi rejected lucrative approaches from Wasps, Saracens and Worcester, among others, to agree a new three-year contract reportedly worth over £425,000 per season.
James Haskell talks about Wasps and his contract adding:
My contract is up, so maybe they will want to replace me with Pocock, you never know. Everyone, from what I read, is after David Pocock,” Haskell said
“I don’t worry about it. When George Smith signed I thought it was unbelievable – how can I learn from this guy?
“If they signed David Pocock it would be great to work with him and see what he does. If you want to be best, you have to put yourself in difficult situations.”
Rugby World Cup Winner Victor Vito could be on his way to France:
La Rochelle are “on the point of obtaining the signature” of All Black back-rower Victor Vito
