#3. BLAIR COWAN TO SARACENS
Saracens strangely signed Scotland international flanker Blair Cowan on loan from relegation fighting London Irish until the end of last season a few years back.
Cowan, who has 17 Scotland caps, joined Saracens as cover with Schalk Burger, Callum Clark, Joel Conlon, Michael Rhodes and Billy Vunipola all ruled out for varied periods.
Saracens went onto win the Premiership title while London Irish were relegated for the second time in three years.
