Mildly interesting news, but let's have a closer look at what their manager said:
For mine, if we're talking about disappointment they're three guys of national interest. Two of them we signed long contracts for and the third we were in the process of, he had an offer on the table for an extensive period. It's disappointing because they're front of mind when it comes to the bigger picture. We have a high respect for them as rugby players, we think they are part of the solution of the future going forward.
This, children, is what happens when you mix poor English with management-speak. As for the last bit, he doesn't say whether they were part of the solution of the future going backward.
