Streather, Rouse and Parr to make the step up

Three Nottingham players will have a crack at the Aviva Premiership next season after it was announced Tim Streather is joining Saracens while Matt Parr and Nic Rouse will wear the London Irish jersey.
Nottingham’s record try scorer Streather, 24, who plays at outside centre, will join the 2011 Premiership champions adding striking power to the back line.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: “We have been watching Tim for some time and he has proved himself one of the most impressive centres in the Championship. We’re delighted he’s chosen to advance his career at Saracens.”
Streather added: “Saracens are a fantastic club who consistently challenge for top honours and I am extremely excited about adding something to a group of players who are of the highest calibre.”
Loosehaed Parr and lock Rouse will move further South, as revealed in the Fissler Files recently, and reinforce the Exiles pack putting pen to paper on a two-year deal each.
Both players worked under current London Irish forwards coach Glenn Delaney whilst he was director of rugby at the Midlands club.
London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith said: “We are delighted to have these two players on board for the next few seasons. Matt will bring massive strength, work rate and experience in a key position which will be crucial for us going forward.
“Nic also has a great work rate and is a very physical player. Glenn Delaney has worked with both Nic and Matt and is very happy that both will be joining us next season.”
Parr added: “I’m looking forward to joining London Irish next season. They are an ambitious club with some great players. Until then I will be concentrating on Nottingham and the club’s promotion push.”
Rouse continued: “It will be an exciting challenge when I join London Irish in the summer. They have really showed in the last few months that they are a top side and I am sure we can push on next season. There is still work to be done at Nottingham and that will have my full attention until the end of this season.”
