While the big-spending clubs of Top 14 inevitably hog the majority of the transfer headlines, there has also been substantial movement in ProD2 this summer.

Ambitious clubs such as Lyon OU and Dax have both been busy recruiting, while recently reprieved Aix-en-Provence have also been kicked into action following Montauban's continuing demise.

Newcomers Carcassonne and St Etienne can be expected to strengthen their squads now both have secured promotion from Fédérale 1, while SCA Albi have exclusively recruited from last year's champions SU Agen as they seek to bounce straight back up following relegation from Top 14.

Top 14 Transfers 2010/11

Unlike in previous seasons there appear to be no clear favourites for the 2010/11 campaign, although the likes of Pau, Lyon and Oyonnax will all be hoping to get back to the play-offs again. Dax, Grenoble, Mont-de-Marsan, RC Narbonne and Union Bordeaux-Bègles will also be hoping to make an impact judging by their respective recruitment, while it remains to be seen how Provence, Carcassonne and St Etienne all fair.

Provence struggled to adapt last season but should be battle hardened with a knowledge of what to expect, while Carcassonne and St Etienne will be fighting to avoid the same fate as Lannemezan, last year's basement club.

Here's what we know so far...
