Rugby Rumours: Robbie looks North, Picamoles returns, More Montpellier procurement and NCA front rowers

Robbie looks North:

Having picked up an injury earlier in the season ex-Canterbuty Crusader Robbie Fruean is finally getting some game-time with Bath Rugby.

That will be shortly coming to an end as he is out of contract, currently looking as his options in Scotland, with Pro 12's Edinburgh.

Picamoles returns:

Louis Picamoles has had a stellar season with Northampton Saints, topped off with a nomination for @theRPA Players' Player of the Year Award.

He started his professional rugby at Montpellier and it would seem the Top 14 side want him back... at any cost.

More Montpellier procurement:

Not content with going after just one rugby A-Lister it seems the Top 14 side are out to purchase more impressive talent.

Montpellier, currently sitting in third, have zoned in on Yoann Huget and Wesley Fofana courtesy of their millionaire owner Mohed Altrad.

NCA front rowers:

Caldy and Bishop Stortford have secured a spot in National League 1 next season, with this weekend's fixture between Sale and Old Elthamians for that last remaining place.

With that Caldy are looking at Championship prop Lee Imiolek, and Sale FC could be aquiring the experience of ex-Sale Sharks hooker Neil Briggs.
