Eoin Griffin from Connacht to London Irish.

Alex Lozowski from Leeds to Wasps

Matt Stevens heading back to SA, linking up with Natal Sharks

Luke Narraway heading to Irish to join up with fellow new back rower Tom Guest. Wonder who the 6, 7 and 8 will be

Jerome Schuster from Leicester to Wuss for the remainder of the season. What looked a decent signing for Tigers has proved a god awful one in practice

Not an AP tranfer, but as yet there's no request for a Rabo thread and this I think interesting enough. Carlin Isles is to join up with Glasgow Warriors, I might even watch if he plays

Chiefs have a few players to feed in from the academy, in Townsend, Slade, LCD, WCS and so on - I know some of those have played already but none are emulating Hill and stepping up in the seniors yet. They've also got Low in to replace Tui, but even then whilst a big signing that may leave them lacking as Tui was often outstanding. Waldrom seems an utter waste of money, but we'll see

Furno looks a cracking signing, would probably edge Auterac out of my original list. I had concerns about Auterac given the existing balance of the Bath squad but he's a hell of a prospect and right now likely quite cheap.

New top 5 signings, Juan Figallo, Josh Furno, Asaeli Tikoirotuma, Marland Yarde and Luke McLean.

Cheers, both good signings if they settle in and work hard.
