Almost as funny as the tweet where he says that "Tom Hill
(worcs) is allegedly very very good, I've heard he's excellent"
and then quoted himself as "I told you he was good" - no mate,
someone else told you he was good!
But not as funny as how much various people in the sport think
he's a child :)

I can imagine, Cligford has been offered the chance to play no 8
at Exeter.

Ruck.co.uk quoting the "reliable" RIL that Clifford is rumoured
to be leaving for Exeter, in my usually wrong opinion this would
be a big loss to Quins.
Not sure why the report is talking about him kick-starting his
career at Exeter when he is getting game time at Quins.

Will be tough going at Exeter for the no8 shirt with Kvesic
playing there at the moment and Sam Simmonds coming back.

Simmons is badly injured and fairly small. Kevesic is no 8, he
is filling in and they needs more strength there. Exeter is a
place where players who get a little disillusioned, the are
winning things at the moment.
8 Clifford was an excellent 8 in junior rugby.
His big competition at after would come at 6 & 7 eg Kevesic,
Armand and Ewers.

Good move for Clifford. He’ll get Heineken Cup experience & play
for a team they can win away from home

Simmonds is injured now. Clifford has spent most of his career
injured.
Simmonds is small for an 8 but incredibly fast and has scored a
heap of tries. Clifford is small (but not quite as small) for an
8 but is quite fast and hasn't scored a heap of tries.
As an 8, Clifford is a downgrade on Simmonds at the moment. Plus
he knows his only chance of England recognition comes at 7.
arniepie's rumours are pretty reliable so it seems likely he'll
leave, but I really don't think it's as clear cut a good move as
you reckon

I think putting size over ability is a growing problem within
rugby at the moment, although Simmonds is classed as small for
his position I would love to have him at Quins as he scored and
creates a lot of tries.

I'm worried that arniepie announced this. However, I am holding
out hope that Gussy has watched Jack put a run of games together
and entered into talks to keep him. Clifford has pretty much
nailed down the 7 shirt and also gives us options later in the
game, as he can shuffle across the back row depending on who's
coming off the bench. Which means as long as he stays fit, he
plays at the moment. If it's a matter of losing back rowers to
make room in the cap then I'd rather lose White and/or Wallace
(sorry to say because Luke has been a great servant to the club
and I like him as a personality but just isn't rounded enough).

I could be wrong, but what arnipie said about Clifford was
different to the others he announced. Unlike the rest Clifford
was not a done deal, it was just a possibility and was by no
means certain.
