England back row James Haskell is to retire at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old, who has won 77 caps and played in the past two World Cups, has struggled with ankle and toe problems with Northampton this season. He joined Wasps in 2002 and spent seven years with the club before moving to Stade Francais, the Ricoh Black Rams in Japan and Super Rugby's Highlanders. |

Dragons have appointed Dean Ryan as their director of rugby in a role that will see him assume a board position.
The region have created the role for Ryan, who joins from the Rugby Football Union where he has been working as head of international player development. Ryan had been expected to be announced as head coach and his new role means interim head coach Ceri Jones reverts to his previous job as forwards coach. |

Mako Vunipola will miss the climax to double-chasing Saracens' pursuit of the Premiership title after being ruled with a "significant" hamstring injury.
Vunipola was forced off after half an hour of last Saturday's Heineken Champions Cup final win over Leinster. But Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall insists the British & Irish loose-head will be available for England's World Cup campaign. |

Israel Folau's contract has been terminated by Rugby Australia after he said "hell awaits" gay people in a social media post.
The full-back, 30, was sacked in April but requested a hearing, which was heard by a three-person panel. The panel found him guilty of a "high level breach" of RA's player code of conduct and upheld the dismissal. Folau, who had a RA deal until 2022, has 72 hours to appeal against the ruling and is considering his options. |

A major sponsor is to voice concerns to rugby club London Irish over the signing of former Ulster and Ireland fly-half Paddy Jackson.
Diageo, which owns Guinness and is the team's main sponsor, said his signing was "not consistent with our values". Jackson was found not guilty of rape last year, but had his contract revoked by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). London Irish confirmed they are in "ongoing dialogue" with sponsors. |
