English club Sale Sharks on Monday announced that Scotland No 8 Josh Strauss will leave the club with immediate effect. 

Strauss, who is in the Scotland World Cup training squad, and Sale Sharks have come to a mutual agreement so that he can be released from his contract two years into a three-year deal with the club. 
This has allowed him to sign for South African Super Rugby franchise the Bulls.

The 32-year-old, who formerly captain the Lions, joined the Sale Sharks in 2017 after signing from Scottish PRO14 side Glasgow Warriors. 

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond told the club's official website: "I would like to thank Josh for his endeavours over the last two years with the club, we wish him every success for the future, and good luck at the World Cup with Scotland in September. I am sure he will be a huge success at his new club, and he is welcome back to Manchester anytime."

Strauss added: "I really enjoyed my time at Sale, everyone at the club was really welcoming and I enjoyed Manchester a lot. For family reasons a move back to South Africa makes sense and I was delighted to get an offer from the Bulls ahead of the 2020 Super Rugby Season. I wish Dimes and the club all the best for the future."

Weet nie wie is meer desperaat hierso nie. Bulle of Josh. Hy is nou maar eintlik te stadig en te oud om rerig impak te maak.

Ek sien van my Bulle kenisse reken dis 'n "groot" aanwins. As ek reg onthou is hy 6 jaar terug weg by die Leeus, daai tyd was hy bleddie goed maar 6 jaar is 'n lang tyd in rugby

Ek het hom so bietjie gesien vir Glasgow speel (voor sy skuif) en toe al was hy nie meer so skerp nie.

Hy was baie goed toe en ons het gewonder hoe ons sonder hom sal klaar kom maar dit was juis to Whiteley begin het.... en ek kies Whiteley enige dag bo Josh.....

Selfs Whiteley sukkel ewe skielik met baie beserings en mens wonder hoe lank sy lyf nog gaan hou. Rugby is waarskynlik erger op die spelers se lywe as wat mens dink.

He was a great player with us, and did well to represent Scotland. However, I think that he is at the end of his career, so will maybe help the Bulls with some experience and grunt.

Ek dink dit is baie slim van die Bulls. Selfs al is hy nie meer die speler wat hy 7 jaar terug was nie, dit bring hope ervaring terug na die span. ja ja ek weet, ek kla en kerm altyd as almal tekere gaan oor ERVARING.. Maar wanneer jy die helfde van jou span verloor, en omtrent al jou bokke, is enige internasionale speler 'n goeie aanwins.

Hang af van speler tot speler. 'n Speler soos Schalk Brits bring baie entoesiasme en vermoe tor 'n jong span. Hang ook af van die kompetiesie. Jacobie Adrianse sal byvoorbeeld nie meer kan kompiteer in Superrugby nie, maar sy ervaring was verlede Saterdag goud werd in die laaste 25 minute.

Gepraat van laas Saterdag, Jimmy Stonehouse het juis gekla daaroor dat alhoewel hulle 'n squad van 23 kon kies, hulle nie 2 stutte op die bank kon kies nie want hulle het nie 'n 4rde stut nie. Dis crazy

Dink die groter unies kan gerus kyk na afrigters soos Stonehouse en veral Brett Janse van Rensburg. Hulle het op die harde manier geleer om die meeste uit beperkte hulpbronne te kry.

Jip, dit is vir my verbasend dat die Kings iemand soos Peter de Villiers op hulle kortlys vir afrigters het, maar Stonehouse en janse van Rensburg is nerens... Tensy hulle nie aansoek gedoen het nie

Ek dink die demografie van die Kings se afrigter speel n belangriker rol as sy rugby kennis..
