Bath have now confirmed that eight senior players will be departing the club at the end of the 2021/22 season.
#1. Anthony Watson to Leicester Tigers
Discussing the move to Tigers next season, Watson said: “The first word that comes to mind with Leicester Tigers is ‘tough’. It is a tough club, a tough group of people and to be a part of that kind of environment is the best thing for me.
“I want to be successful, of course, but I also want to improve as a player and Tigers is an environment where I believe I will be able to become the best player I can possibly be while, most importantly, being a part and contributing to the team being the best it can be."
#2. Max Clark to Dragons
The Bridgend-born centre joined the Academy aged 13 and will return to Wales to join United Rugby Championship side Dragons ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
#3. Taulupe Faletau to Cardiff
The 86-times capped No 8 will head to the Welsh capital next summer following a five year stint at The Rec.
Commenting on the move, he said: “I’m really looking forward to joining Cardiff next season. I’m excited about having a new challenge, working with Dai Young and playing alongside some familiar faces.
“Playing international rugby is still something I have a lot of passion for and I hope that by playing well for Cardiff I’ll be able to continue to do that."
#4. Valery Morozov to Worcester Warriors
Morozov was signed by Diamond when he was Director of Rugby at Sale Sharks in 2019 and he has made the mobile, ball-handling forward his sixth new signing ahead of succeeding Alan Solomons as Warriors Director of Rugby.
#5. Danny Cipriani
Dallas Jackals are leading the hunt to sign the former England fly-half, who is leaving Bath when his contract runs out at the end of the season.
#6. Tian Schoeman to Newcastle Falcons
The 30-year-old South African is already on Tyneside preparing for his official start date in the summer, with the former Cheetahs, Bulls and Bordeaux man recovering from a knee injury.
#7. Semesa Rokoduguni
His next club is yet to be confirmed with reports suggesting he is heading to France.
#8. Jacques du Toit to Zebre
He will leave Bath Rugby this summer for Zebre Rugby. The 28-year-old made a try-scoring debut for the Blue, Black and White against Zebre, and has made a further 31 appearances for the club to date.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
