Isn't the issue that all the English clubs are pretty much at the salary cap, so wont be able to take any players, not sure how Bath have managed it with Worcester players.
That's what I thought too. They could have done a Barca and sign the players to a longer contract with their salary spread out over the period?
I presume a lot of internationals around the age of 30 will be leaving after the world cup as it's their last chance for a decent payday.

Well Bath originally used something around injury cover, which I guess is outside of the cap, but not sure how they have then signed them up full time.
Yes, I suspect there will be a batch of players who aren't going to be around for the next world cup who will go. The big question is are they replaced by young English qualified or imports from SA etc.

Yup. Marchant is already set up to leave Quins for Stade, I believe. There'll be a few more by the end of the month, I'm sure you're right. This will only accelerate that.
Will some of these guys maybe bolster the MLR rosters also for a short while?

I know that Chiefs have had to let Simmonds go, as we were nowhere near what Montpellier could offer, and looks like Nowell will be following him in the next season or 2.
