The 2023/24 season will see a significant departure of talent from Premiership clubs as a number of star players and England internationals head to France. The standout exit is Saracens captain Owen Farrell, with other big names also making the move. Bayonne, after securing Champions Cup rugby, are strengthening their squad with players like Alex Moon and Manu Tuilagi from Northampton Saints. Harlequins' Will Collier is joining Castres, while other players like Lewis Ludlam, Courtney Lawes, and possibly Kyle Sinckler are rumored to be moving to French clubs.
The French market is also eyeing players like Zach Mercer, Billy Vunipola, and perhaps Mako Vunipola, along with scrum-half Danny Care. Additionally, non-English internationals like Jasper Wiese, Jonny Gray, Mateo Carreras, Santi Socino, Christian Judge, and Johannes Jonker are also set to leave their Premiership clubs at the end of the season for opportunities in France or Japan.
