SBW‘s record:
As Sonny Bill Williams‘ international career comes to an end with the All Blacks following victory over Wales, his future looks to be headed to the Super League.
This rumoured option results in a return to league with the Toronto Wolfpack, who are offering an eye-watering $9 million deal for two years.
All Blacks‘ future:
Steve Hansen has stepped down folloing New Zealand‘s third place finish at this year’s Rugby World Cup…somewhat below where they would have expected.
All Black‘s assistant coach Ian Foster was in line to take the role, but Japan’s Jamie Joseph’s has been linked, as he remains reserved on his future in the game.
Dombrandt switch:
Alex Dombrandt has carried his performances from BUCS Super Rugby with Cardiff Met, on to the professional game with Harlequins.
This rise hasn’t been unnoticed by other Premiership sides, and his form has landed him in talks about his future with Northampton Saints.
Sarries new no.9:
Ireland international Kieran Marmion has played all of his professional rugby for Connacht in the Pro 14, but a change looks to be on the horizon.
It’s been reported that Saracens have made a move for the Irish scrum-half, with a 3 year deal on the table which could see him move to the English top tier.
