According to The Rugby Paper, Purdy will sign for the Championship side after five years at the Cherry and Whites.

Purdy will become Coventry Rugby’s sixth Gallagher Premiership signing, and the eighth player from either the Premiership or the Guinness PRO14 to sign on at the club.

The club have also signed Ryan Burrows (Newcastle Falcons), James Voss (Leicester Tigers), Gareth Denman (Gloucester), David Langley (Wasps) and Luke Wallace (Harlequins), and Senitiki Nayalo from Edinburgh and Gerard Ellis from the Dragons in the PRO14.

The also signed Donald Brighouse from Otago in the Mitre 10, as well as Will Owen (Doncaster Knights), Rory Jennings (London Scottish), Andy Forsyth (Yorkshire Carnegie) and Joe Buckle (Yorkshire Carnegie) from fellow Championship sides.

They haven’t had it all their own way however. Backrow Stan South was due to join the Championship outfit on a two-year deal following his release from Harlequins, but following injuries at the end of last season to both Price and Witty, the Exeter Chiefs swooped to recruit the Southampton-born player on a one-year deal ahead of the new campaign.

Moves to the Championship by relatively high profile players are becoming more common as an oversupply of rugby talent from the southern hemisphere continues to flood the market in the north.

Rugby agent Tom Beattie of TBD Sports recently told RugbyPass that the market for rugby players is very much a ‘buyers market’.

“Clubs are being very strict on the salary caps, and that’s meant that unfortunately some guys are left in a position where there isn’t that contract that there was a couple of years ago.

“It’s certainly a buyers’ market this year, because of the number of players without a contract. A lot of clubs can wait a bit longer and perhaps a player has to take a reduction in salary to get that contract.”

HOW TO RETRIEVE STOEN BITCOIN DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION


I never imagined that I would be one of those individuals who would lose access to their Bitcoin wallet, but there I was looking at my computer screen in utter horror. I was a freelance graphic designer and had invested $250,000 in Bitcoin throughout the years, hoping that it would be the gateway to my financial future. I was proud of myself for being careful with my investments and online security. But one day after I updated my laptop, I realized I could not access my wallet. My password was gone, and in case that was not enough, my recovery phrase was nowhere to be found as well. My heart sank. I felt like my world was collapsing.

The thought of losing all my savings was simply unacceptable. I tried everything—backtracking, searching through old notes, and scavenging through my emails—but all in vain.

Desperation kicked in, and I started looking online for any kind of solution. That's when I came across DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION on Reddit. I was hesitant at first—how was it possible for anyone to recover something as secure as a Bitcoin wallet? Was this some internet scam? But after reading hundreds of positive reviews from individuals who were in the same predicament, I thought I would try.

Their staff was extremely professional and reassuring right from the time I called them. They heard me out patiently and explained the process of recovery step by step, in detail. They did not make any false promises but told me that they would do their best to recover my wallet. Their honesty and transparency filled me with hope.

The procedure was seamless and well-coordinated. The team was in touch constantly and kept me updated, which eased my worry. In a week's time, I got the message I had been fervently wishing for—they had retrieved my wallet successfully. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was filled with relief and thankfulness.

DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION were not just highly professional but also very humane and sympathetic. They understood the psychological toll such a disaster can take and handled my case with utmost sensitivity and professionalism. They saved my financial future, and I owe them eternal gratitude.

If you are ever unfortunate enough to lose access to your Bitcoin wallet, I would highly recommend DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION They turned what seemed like an impossible mission into a success story. I am eternally thankful for their services and the peace of mind they restored to my life.

Stat chat: Clear favourite emerges as Sam Cane's All Blacks successor

Agree for Savea to be successful at 7 he will have to remodel his game, again. But he has shown the ability to do that with his move from 7 to 8. Savea will have to focus more on the roles of a 7 e.g. tacking and cleaning out. The benefit will be that Savea can take advantage of running opportunities, in a similar way that Michael Jones used to. How Savea is used e.g. as a primary runner, or as a support runner will come down to the attack coach. But having a 7 who is a genuine running option will provide the All Blacks with another option. That option could be unutilized as a support runner. If put into the gap Savea will be very hard to stop.

 

With Sititi at 8 (the best position to make use of his skills) the key will be who is chosen at 6, ideally someone with bulk and a hard work ethic. S Barrett could fulfil that role. I would choose Finau as he has proven ability to effect very heavy tackles. But it’s an open race at the moment.

 

Agree, taking in account multiple factors in analysis makes the analysis a lot more difficult. There are so many more potential outcomes to take into account. Getting this done in time to meet publishing deadlines would be difficult. I guess it’s up to the readers to speculate on things like that.

 

Papali’I is definitely in the conversation. He is a proven high volume tackler, at times he has shown a very useful running game. Also, at 1.93m/113kg he has the size to cover at 6 and to be used as a jumper in the lineout. With the Blues in a slump, how he performs in the next few games could be a good indicator, if he steps up he could regain a black jersey.

 

Sotutu could be used at 6 or eight. If the trio contained Sotutu I’d put him at 6 as Sititi seems to be a more slightly more elusive runner that is slightly better at setting up others. Sotutu could fit into the trio at 6. A key work on for Sotutu is to lower his tackle height.
