Warriors tight-head Chris Horsman has joined newly promoted Zurich Premiership side Worcester on a three-year contract. Horsman, 26, qualifies by residency to play for Wales in the autumn and will commute from his home in Porthcawl.
The Warriors' Tongan wing Aisea Havili has joined the Scarlets, who are also interested in Arwel Thomas, with the Blues favourites to get Lee Thomas.
Dragons fly-half Lee Jarvis, 27, has joined Penzance and Newlyn.
They are coached by former Wales lock Kevin Moseley who will use Jarvis as a player and skills coach.
 Robert Sidoli is in demand |
The Ospreys have held talks with Wales and Warriors lock Robert Sidoli in a bid to keep him from Sale's clutches. They know they cannot compete fiscally with the Zurich Premiership side, but hope to persuade Sidoli that it is in his best interests to stay in Wales.
The Ospreys have released James Storey - who could join Munster - and have held talks with Warriors centre Sonny Parker as a possible replacement.
The Dragons have signed Warriors No 8 Richard Bryan on a two-year deal.
He could be seen as a replacement for South Africa international Bobby Skinstad, whose short-term contract at Rodney Parade has expired.

The Dragons are also favourites to secure the services of Wales and Warriors half-backs Ceri Sweeney and Gareth Cooper. Gethin Jenkins is another Warriors international in heavy demand.
He joined Sidoli in talks with Sale Sharks on Monday, but has also been speaking to the Cardiff Blues.
Dafydd James, who signed for Harlequins earlier this week, said he was disgusted with the way the Warriors situation had developed.
"It's bitterly disappointing to see what is going on at the Warriors, one of the real hot-beds of Welsh rugby," James told BBC Sport Wales.
"Both (Warriors chief executive) Leighton Samuel and (Welsh Rugby Union boss) David Moffett have to be held accountable, a lot of players have been put in an awkward predicament.
"Personally, I've always wanted to go to the Zurich Premiership and at Harlequins I have the chance to play alongside some of the best players in the world.
"It was a big move to up sticks and go, but at this stage in my career I needed a new challenge.
"I know I've got a lot of high-class rugby in me and want to prove myself on the big stage."
