Less. Tom Farrell at Connaught has been linked with Munster.

Thanks Sam. Yes it would appear that Barrett will be missing the super rugby season with the Canes. Interesting what you say about Frawley and yet our Irish friends insist there is no interference from their Union When central contracts are involved there's always going to be an element of interfer...

My nipper just sent me the full strength Leinster side. Salary cap? Level playing field? It's a sick joke! Well there isn't one in the URC. Leinster's salary spend is allegedly around the 10m Euros mark. More in line with the French clubs. It was around that in 2018-2020. It’ll be a bit more by now...

Seriously it's like someone's got a fantasy rugby game with a cheat code.

Barrett only going to be there for 5 months so he will be interesting to see what role he plays. Ngatai seems to be a little down their pecking order He's been injured. Normally a go to during international windows but didn't play at all during the 6N which is the giveaway. With Osbourne coming thr...

When you've got a top 2 international side already what you need to do is have a couple of worldie fantasy selections. Taniela Tupou to follow it seems. They are losing their Samoan international back up tighthead and with no homegrown Irish back up come through they simply can't go into a season w...

Jack Willis world class performance this afternoon It's a shame England persist with their policy of not picking foreign based players. It really isn't. Allowing open season on the best English talent would drive up wages and almost certainly see Prem clubs in a weaker overall state with a ravaged ...

Anyway on to rumours Patrick Pellegrini wouldn't be a bad shout for a Pollard back up IMO. Wilkinson is staying it seems, we'll still have Shillcock and Meredith is playing there regularly for Loughborough University in case of an injury crisis. I've nothing against it as a suggestion but I don't t...

Gotta think the air-miles have really hurt LR. Stupid competition. Looked like they were missing a few players with injury as well. No Pierre Bourgarit really hurt them as he's excellent at the breakdown as well as quality at lineout time, his replacement not so much. No Ward and no Colombe limited...

I get fans frustration I just don’t understand the mind set. If Mckellar were to go what happens next season if his replacement fails in the mind of fans, do we get rid of them too, then rinse and repeat until we luck on a successful one. It is no coincidence that Exeter and Sarries have long stand...

On Kelly, he isn't Munster's favourite to replace Frisch. Tom Farrell is far more likely to be it. They don't have the budget and in reality IRFU are not going to buy him out of contract, if Kelly wants to play for Ireland they can wait a year and get him for free. If Kelly wants to further his int...

6 backs 6 forwards listed. Of those Powell signed to cover RWC, Wollett only ever short term, Atkinson was a surprise but was 3rd choice 10 and received an offer from Gloucester. The other 3 Cocanasinga has never really impressed despite being given opportunity, Scott wants to move back to Edinburg...
