Lyon offer an escape route to trio of Saracens superstars
Lyon offer Owen Farrell, Maro Itoje and Billy Vunipola a move to the Top 14. Saracens players are worried about their future in the double Premiership and European Champions. The players' agent claims the RFU will evoke the exceptional circumstances rule to allow England internationals to play where they like. Senior Sarries players blame the club's financial problems on director of rugby Mark McCall. Sarracens are meeting with senior players tomorrow to discuss their plans. Liam Williams is leaving and George Kruis is probably going to Japan. Other players who could be on their way include Callum Clark, Michael Rhodes, Alex Lewington, Sean Maitland, Ali Crossdale and Joe Gray.
