Bath legend Francois Louw responds to reports he's joining New York
Transfer RumoursWednesday, 12 June 2019 at 15:03
The internet exploded into life yesterday with rumours Bath and South Africa flanker Francois Louw was joining US MLR side Rugby United New York, following the likes of former England full back Ben Foden and French skipper Mathieu Bastareaud to the Big Apple.
A picture of Louw, 33, who has 65 caps for the Springboks, with a New York shirt with his name on the back was mischievously put on Twitter by the club, but they later confirmed he was just passing through.
In March, the flanker signed a one-year contract extension with Gallagher Premiership side Bath which will keep him at the club until 2020.

- 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
