Seems he is joining Rouen in France, along with James Johnston

Never really worked for Johnston since he departed Quins has it.

I didnt realise he is 34 now.  Pretty obvious when you think about it, but I didnt think about it!!!

Also noticed another one of our old boys is leaving Rouen, Josh Draninui.  Always thought he could have been a decent player

It appears JJ took the Saracens dollar and perhaps did not think of the impact on his playing career.

Not true. 

Been mentioned on here many times.  JJ told Quins he was going (Expecting big money from France). That never happened, however we had already signed PDJ as his replacement.  With no club, JJ joined Sarries, for pretty much the same money he was on at Quins in the end.

I look forward to seeing them both in the Norman v Breton match next season against the mighty Vannes.

I think JJ has been at the same club in France for a few years now after his travels in England. Brive I think might might be wrong. He presumably won some stuff at Sarries, so I think it's only really Worcester and Wasps which were non-starters.
