So what's Andy Farrell up to then?

Seems odd for him to decide not to leave Sarries when offered an England role, but now to decide to do so.

Would appear a classic case of RFU not wanting to pay compensation. Manager/Coach quits then joins who he wants. See Norwich City Football for most recent example

What I was thinking. So Catt moves on to Bath and Lancaster gets who he wanted in the first place. Feel a bit sorry for Sarries really, I'm enjoying the fact they've contributed to breaking the usual major club stronghold on the Premiership, and will this cause a major headache for them.

I'm not sure this is the best thing for England though, I would not have thought Farrell is the person who will set the backs free...
