LIST | 5 superstar free agents who are available right now

The 33-year-old, who toured with the Lions in 2009 and 2013, is a free agent after his five-month deal with Super Rugby franchise the Stormers came to an end. Roberts possible move to the Dragons hit a major stumbling block on Friday as representatives in the regional game were left perplexed by the deal. He's also been linked with a move to Major League Rugby.

Following his release by Edinburgh, the former Scotland captain is looking to continue playing but admitted he could instead wind up stacking supermarket shelves due to the freeze on player recruitment due to the coronavirus. The ex-national team captain stepped away from international rugby following last year’s World Cup in Japan.

The 28-year-old is back in New Zealand after his Kobe Steelers sabbatical was cut short by the COVID-enforced cancellation of the Japanese league. However, the lock has rejected an offer from Super Rugby side The Chiefs to remain a free agent. He's reportedly having a bit of a break with his family before making his return.

Like Retallick, Pocock is another player that has not given any details about his future, and at 31, he may still have more miles in the clock. However, this was the final season of his contract with the Panasonic Wild Knights in Japan, and given the stress his body has been put under throughout his career, no one would blame the flanker for hanging up his boots early.

Eastmond is reportedly set to sign a short-term deal with Harlequins after departing from Leicester Tigers. The 30-year-old was one of five players to have departed, alongside Manu Tuilagi, Telusa Veainu, Greg Batemen and Noel Reid, Tigers CEO Andrea Pinchen said in a video posted on the club website.
