3. James Haskell (Northampton Saints)
He signed for Northampton Saints for next season on a one-year contract. The back-rower then may hang up his boots or head abroad once again.
2. David Pocock (Brumbies)
Pocock’s manager, Brian Levine, said the flanker turned down lucrative offers from overseas because of his “strong belief” in the direction of the Wallabies under coach Michael Cheika. However, with his contract expiring soon, it’ll be interesting to see if that opinion has changed…
1. Sonny Bill Williams (Blues)
It would be understandable for 33-year-old Williams to want to cap a stellar career at the conclusion of the showpiece tournament in Japan, but he insists he still has plenty more to give on the field. The 51-test veteran told the Sydney Morning Herald that he still has a burning desire to continue playing rugby at the highest level, and is refusing to rule out another code switch.
