POSSIBLE TRANSFER TARGETS:
#1. Mike Brown
- Age: 36
- Position: Fullback
- Caps: 72
Brown, who has already revealed he will pursue a career as an agent when he hangs up his boots, was at one point being lined up as a potential replacement for Simon Hammersley at Sale after the fullback quit.

Ealing, Worcester and French club Agen also remain in the race for the experienced speedsters signature.
