Jack Clifford to Chiefs

Is this true or more rumour mill churn? Would be a shame and I wouldn't like to see him go.

A lot of rumour at the moment but arniepie did he there was interest I believe but not that it was a done deal he was leaving. He is one of the rumoured 25 out of contract I would be trying to keep but not the only one.

I have said it before I can see no reason for him to move, especially as Quins seem to be turning the corner, he is highly rated by Gussy and he is getting plenty of game time.

It's been a persistent rumour, but it's hard to see the logic of it.

Quins have invested a lot in getting him back to fitness, and if he stays fit the Dombrandt/Clifford/Chis combo could be our starting back row for some time to come - I can't see Robshaw carrying on for much longer past the RWC.

The Chiefs could probably do with additional cover, but he'd be fighting for a starting position with local lads and fan favourites, and when fringe internationals move it generally sets their case back a year or two. Unless there's a lot of cash involved (and bear in mind he can't be a marquee player) or he's just desperate for silverware, I can't see the appeal for him moving.

Now that he's back to both form and fitness I really hope Quins do everything they can to hold on to him

Re Robshaw post-RWC, he's already said that he's open to an overseas move after the World Cup, partly for the experience of playing in a different environment/league, but I would guess also for the potential earning possibilities.

Is it possible that Jack could be thinking it's an opportunity to impress the future England coach first-hand if Baxter inherits the England job from Eddie post-RWC ? It would be a gamble, but if Simmonds injury is worse than first thought, I don't think Kvesic is a No.8 so the door would be open for him to secure the spot and reignite an England career. It would be a big loss to Quins though having nursed him back to full fitness over the past 2 years.

Clifford is looking to join Chiefs and Montpellier's flanker/8 Galletier has asked his agent to broker a move to Quins (he is mid contract).

Said with some confidence, you obviously have contacts?

Galletier was a sub for Montpellier when we played them in the Challenge Cup Final.

As close to have come from Galletier's mouth as is possible.
