Well the buzz of the week has been the apparent signing of Wales scrummie Dwayne Peel from the Scarlets. Peel and the Scarlets have merrily held press conferences on the matter (with Peel, oddly, admitting the move was in order to live abroad), yet no word at all from the Sharks themselves. We can only assume the delay is to do with a medical examination, perhaps on Peel's poorly shoulder.
Also, Nick Johnson has left the Sharks. Maybe it was he that was supposed to check on the shoulder?
Rumours abound thanks to the Peel arrival: is Sililo Martens leaving Sharks to go to Wales? Will Wigglesworth become second choice scrum half? What of the marvel that is Ben Foden? Sharks fans to a man (woman?) want Foden to stay, be it at 9, 11, 14 or 15.
There is still a persistent rumbling about the brothers Lobbe too: Ignatio seems to wish to move back home to Argentina (hence the arrival of Brent Cockbain?) and he brother Juan may well stick around to start a familt and get a green card.
Seb Bruno has had interesting news too, with the announcement that France captain Ibanez is stepping down from international rugby. Bruno is reported to have said that he nevertheless expects not to appear again for France and will end his professional days playing club rugger for Sale Sharks.
Team news for Montpellier later today, all going well.
