**Rugby may be on its unwanted hiatus but the off-field action never stops, with transfer debate and speculation on the up as we head towards summer.** We begin in Ireland with rumours of a switch across the provinces being reported for highly-rated Hawaiian prop Roman Salanoa. The 22-year-old moved to Ireland in 2017 but his time in **Leinster** could be coming to an end, [according to the Irish Independent](https://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/munster-rugby/more-movement-between-the-provinces-as-munster-set-to-sign-promising-leinster-prop-salanoa-39204941.html), with **Munster** the potential new home for the United States U20 international. A move for more game time is the apparent thinking for the front-rower, with Tadhg Furlong and Andrew Porter currently ahead of him in the RDS Arena pecking order. Movement is certainly afoot in Wales too, with [**Scarlets** announcing the players and coaches who will not be returning to the club when training resumes](https://www.scarlets.wales/article/scarlets-confirm-summer-departures/). Head coach Brad Mooar, forwards coach Ioan Cunningham and eight members of the playing squad will not return to the Parc y Scarlets, with the club beginning their planning for the 2020-21 season. Among them is Hadleigh Parkes, a key member of the Championship-winning side back in 2017, who leaves the region after 122 appearances across six seasons. Jonathan Evans is another title winner heading out the door, with Kieron Fonatia, Corey Baldwin, Morgan Williams, Simon Gardner and Rhys Fawcett also bidding farewell.
