Interest in suspended former Bath prop Matt Stevens is heating up despite the fact he still has to serve a year of his ban for cocaine use. Chris Hewett writes in The Independent.
"Matt Stevens, the lost cornerstone of the England pack, has not yet reached the mid-point of his two-year ban for cocaine abuse, but the competition for his services from next February is gathering intensity by the day. Bath want the naturalised South African to return to the Recreation Ground the moment his suspension is over while Wasps have openly declared an interest in luring him to London, but both could be blind-sided by Saracens, now seen by some of Stevens's closest colleagues as the player's most likely destination."
