Transfer Rumours: Australia set for mass exodus

According to a report from the Daily Telegraph, the three leading first-five candidates to travel to the World Cup – Bernard Foley, Quade Cooper and Christian Leali’ifano – will all be playing club rugby in Japan next year as part of a mass exodus from the southern hemisphere.

Cooper had been linked with a big-money move to Harlequins, however, is keen to remain closer to home.

David Pocock and Samu Kerevi will also join them in the Top League next year.
