The RFU is reaping the impact of that infamous expression "money no object" as they try to move quickly to replace the Funboy Three they sacked immediately last week. They appear frustrated at Bristol negotiating hard on release of Steve Borthwick as they experience the Man Utd transfer inflation index, where any agent or club learning of their involvement adds a few 000. Bristol are desparate to get promoted this season having been in the Championship for too many years and before their backer finds another black hole to throw his money into. They quite rightly are playing hardball with the RFU 57 (old f****) and using employment law as leverage following Borthwick's walkout. Maybe they should have constructed a football style deal involving a Rowntree Borthwick swap? Rumours that Catt is moving to Sale as new backs coach are unconfirmed.
