Montpellier have announced the signing of experienced Scotland scrum-half Ali Price on a two-year contract.

The England-born 32-year-old brought the curtain down on 11 years in Scottish rugby – nine seasons at Glasgow and two at Edinburgh – at the end of last season.

Price, who has 68 Scotland caps to his name and toured with the British and Irish Lions in 2021, has now headed to the Top 14 to continue his career.

The move to Montpellier means he will become a team-mate once more of his former Glasgow and Scotland colleague Stuart Hogg, who pleaded guilty in November to a charge of domestic abuse.

‘South Africa has produced enough URC finalists. This season it needs a champion’

To be perfectly honest it will be difficuly. The Sharks have almost no hope, their team and squad seems weaker each year and they look like they are lacking X-factor in a number of areas and their coach is way too inexperienced. I wonder if they can even crack the top 8. The Lions dont have the depth or resources but they have cohesion and some really intriguing combos, making the top 8 again should be their target to build on the success of last season. The Stormers have made some big signings but those Boks may only be available for half the season and therin lies the problem for them. They have plenty of quality in the squad but they lose so much to the Boks and have serious player availability problems. The Bulls have signed some reliable performers but thats been to replace some world class performers who have left. Their squad looks weaker this year but they have some depth and experience and are the most likely to finish in the top 2 with a running game thats continuously evolving. Overall I dont see any of the franchises finishing 1st on the log which is an absolute must considering the dip in performances when they play away. Having said that Leinster (ageing squad, less depth), Glasgow (several star players left) and Munster (depth issues in several positions) all look weaker this year compared to last. So maybe that evens itself out as far as the SA franchises are concerned but only time will tell.
