Diamond wants English:

With Danny Cipriani leaving at the end of the season Sale must be on the look-out for his replacement.

Steve Diamond's preference is apparently with English blood but he’s said he’s willing to look globally for a replacement.

Rhys Priestland and Stephen Myler have both been linked with Sale Sharks. Ryan Lamb has also been mooted on the fans’ forum as a short-term replacement if Dimes bins Cipriani before the end of the season but can’t envisage that happening.

Could they persuade Toby Flood back to the Premiership from Toulouse.

Munster interested in Shark:

Sale Sharks' Will Addison is a very versatile, talented back, currently running at wing up North, but it turns out that Irish eyes have been watching too.

The 23-year-old has grabbed the interest of Pro 12 heavyweights Munster.

Warrior to Saint:

Francois Hougaard who is already showing his class after a handful of games with Worcester Warriors is back in the rumours.

He is allegedly at the centre of a tug of war between Lyon & Northampton.

Vakatawa high prized:

Virimi Vakatawa has soon become France's most sought after player, with claims that Toulouse, Toulon & Lyon are all after the Fijian flyer.

Northampton have been thrown in the mix also. Racing 92 are said to have made their former star a new & improved offer.
