Courtney Lawes may be set to join his Northampton Saints teammates Dan Biggar and David Ribbans, with a move to Toulon in the Top 14. Lawes has admitted that he is unsure about his future at Franklins Gardens, and has previously spoken about a potential move away from the club.

Wales International Dan Biggar headed to Toulon in November, with Ribbans’ move far more recently announced. The reports were only announced today that the England and Saints lock would follow Biggar across to France. Lawes’ future is not yet confirmed, with the British and Irish Lion having previously said;
