Another busy day in the rugby union game as Sale Sharks announce the signing of England centre Manu Tuilagi, who joins on a contract until the end of 2020/21, plus we also have Who’s hot and who’s not which praises Richie Mo’unga.

What’s on the site

Sale’s earlier denial of moving for Tuilagi was rubbished today as the club unveiled their newest signing, with Tuilagi arriving after leaving the Tigers.

Hot and Not begins with Mo’unga plus there’s segments on a double deal at the Blues, Super Rugby AU and player welfare concerns in the Premiership.

There’s other contract news including a move for Burger Odendaal, who leaves the Bulls for the Lions, and we have a video on some huge drop-goals.

What’s in the news

Saracens have announced that tough back-rower Calum Clark is staying at the club for another year as he signs up for next season in the Championship.

Elsewhere, former New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen has urged his country not to bow to requests from Australia as he feels they’ve helped them enough in the past. The two countries are currently debating the future of the Super Rugby competition.

What’s on social media

Graham Love wasted little time in creating an image after Tuilagi’s arrival at the Sharks was officially confirmed. The club were impressed with his work.

What’s on TV

It’s another week of Super Rugby AU and Aotearoa fixtures on Sky Sports, with the action kicking off on Friday with the Reds v Force. On Saturday it’s the Hurricanes v Blues before the Waratahs tackle the Brumbies. Sunday sees the Chiefs face the Highlanders.
