Some good sources Horslips! :salut:

I have always been a Best fan, but it appears he has been wanting away for quite a while. Surprised he didn't go to Biarritz when it seemed he had the chance.

I do,nt know that much about McCullough,s situation but I gather it,s a 50:50 call.

Wallace is a bit more straight forward so to speak. It,s down to the money and the willingness or otherwise of the IRFU,who hold his contract, to put the money on the table!

I wonder if Neil Best ever had an offer from Biarritz

Public french lesson, Biarritz holidays and wearing a T shirt to Cooke rugby club. Good way to hold Ulster Rugby to ransom!

Obviously they didn't cough up as much as the Barwells :stir:

Similar to what I heard, Matt will stay if it's down to 50:50

Saints seem to be really pushing for next year, I see they have secured Spencer for another 2 years as well

Not convinced that Wilson & Best will set the Premiership alight though both will have something to prove which may lift their game and in particular Besty.

It wont be there epilitic efforts in the first 3 games next season that defines; rather a more measured assessment of their whole season efforts. Every game will be like a Cup final for Northampton, and with the exUlster players in their ranks then of course I am going to be looking to see how they got on. Might even check that before I log on to UAFC..... I wish them well in the next stage of their careers.
