Rugby Rumours: Aussie murmurs, Vincent Koch and Japanese exports

Moore Hooker News:

(Matt Wood) Just back from my travels and overheard some interesting gossip in a Canberra bar; Australian captain Stephen Moore looks set to move to Europe.

The club's mentioned were Leicester and Sale.

Locked down under:

In Sydney, there was talk about Will Spencer, the highly rated 23 year old lock who is currently with Bath in the UK. Spencer had a spell out here and many think he is eyeing a further spell in Australia.

This conflicts with Twitter, who seem to think he might join his former colleague Tom Heathcote at Worcester Warriors.

Koch wanted in Europe:

It's been widely reported that both Toulon and Saracens both reportedly pursuing Vincent Koch.

He's been a revelation for the Stormers last season, and the tighthead's form in Super Rugby hasn't gone unnoticed.

Clermont after a Japanese import:

Kensuke Hatakeyama has caught the attention of Top14 heavyweights Clermont Auvergne.
