Is this due to WRU Contracts... Are they that lucrative that it changes the reasons why these players said they where off to French sides in the first place. I remember all the hype about them wanting to play competitive European Rugby, etc, etc... If their return is down to the WRU giving them big value central contacts, then they are showing themselves up to be little more than mercenaries. If their return is they aren't cutting it at the French clubs, then are they good enough for WRU contracts.

Seems to be a lot more going on here than indicated in the reports...

Thoughts ?

No9, you do have a bad habbit of doing this, this time you can ask Notch to merge the threads.

It gets confusing at times when a topic spans both international and club rugby...

Checked out the Club thread, and dont think there a need to merge.. I was going to post my opening points in the Club Thread discussion, but that discussion's moved on to not sure my comments add any value (dare say some will say none of my comments add value )

No9, I have to admit I find what board what topic goes on pretty confusing. During the whole RRW/WRU spat, the CCs/DCs, etc I was finding myself double checking both boards to make sure I was posting stuff on the right threads.

Here is the thread on the club board

I'll lock this thread so it doesn't pick up anymore posts if that's ok guys, save any confusion.
