Tuesday Round-Up
Vunipola cited: Saracens back-row Billy Vunipola has been cited after his clash with Matthew Tait of Leicester. The England no.8 will go before a RFU panel to decide if he was guilty of striking with his head. The incident occured during Saracens important 22-6 win over Leicester and if banned he could miss crucial games, like this weekend's semi final with Clermont Auvernge. Also cited during the game was Leicester's Vereniki Goneva for striking with his forearm on Kelly Brown.
Slade to Pau: Newly promoted Pau have announced the signing of Highly rated All Black, Colin Slade. Slade moves to Pau on a 3 year deal and will earn a reported 500,000 euros per year. Slade will join fellow All Black Conrad Smith after the World Cup and will play in the 2015/16 season. It is another huge coup for Pau who will to challenge the Top 7 next year in a hunt for Champions Cup rugby after their promotion. All Black coach Steve Hansen has admitted that 2016 will be a tough year for the All Blacks and will be a real test to their strength in depth.
