Are there any Sale fans on 606? It doesn't appear to be a very popular board! But anyway...
Richie Gray is joining Sale in June 2012, a great coup for the premiership team on the accendancy. Sale won't make the playoffs this season (though i'm praying otherwise), but top 6 is realistic. With the addition of Gray to that young pack, give em a season or two and they will be immense.
I just wanted to ask people views on Richie Gray? IMO the best young lock in world rugby. Dan Vickerman looks a useful player for the Aussies and Courtney Lawes offers dyanamism and determination, but neither compare to Gray currently, he just oozes class.
Thoughts?

although im not the biggest rugby fan (or a fan at all) i liked what i seen from RG in the 6 nations but i thought he was lacking at the WC. Would like to see him go to the top - Will he be able to do that at Sale? Thats another question

Indeed a great signing by sale! Given how Grey has burst on to the scene i would have expected a bit of an auction for his services. Fair play to sale.
As for his prospects, well i think hes great and a real prospect for the future, however he is not as good a Courtney Lawes yet, and indeed Lawes is not a prospect rather he is an established young player. Grey is certainly getting there and should grow to be outstanding in the next couple of years.
