Fearns Returns:

The English, back-row powerhouse is currently making waves over in France for Lyon in the Top 14

But Carl Fearns is allegedly being called back to the UK by Richard Cockerill at Leicester Tigers, who is after a ball-carrying no.8.

Houston had a problem:

It's common knowledge now that Leroy Houston has penned a short-term deal with former Aviva Premiership club Bath, but his reasons maybe less well-known.

He was due to be with the Queensland Reds til 2018, but with rejection on the reignition of his international carreer with Australia from Michael Chieka's warm-up squad, we've now seen his return to England's top tier of rugby.

Brive stop for Ngwenya:

USA flyer Takudzwa Ngwenya is said to be joining Top 14 side Brive in the coming weeks.

He's no stanger to France, playing on the wing for Biarritz from 2007-2014, after which he signed for San Deigo.

Nau for Bristol:

Australian hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau is the latest target of Premiership newbies Bristol, and their wealthy owner Steve Lansdown.

Determined to keep his side in the top flight of English rugby, Lansdown is letting his money do the talking...who also had links to other high profile names.
