Well they just because a lot of people's relegation favourites then. Yes yes I know he was found innocent but read the facts of the case, what he did was objectively awful and he remains completely unrepentant about it. It's a stain on the reputation of a club that should know better.

Given what was in the Irish papers at the time, ................... :smt009
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Couldn’t agree more with this statement. I’d always say I’d support Tigers through anything. If they signed him I wouldn’t. Shame on London Irish.

I completely agree, there are very few signings that would do this for me but I'd rather watch Joey Ford bumble about at 10. I'm also sure there must be better 10s coming free this summer.

Folau, Bastareaud, Huget and Calum Clarke are probably my other "please god don't sign them" players.

Obviously I suspect none are realistic signings for us at this point mind you...

I notice that Calum Clark has been nominated for the Community Player of season award.

What a signing! Starting to get a bit worried about the competition for top 6 next season, their first 15 is going to be immense, wonder where all the money is coming from as even in the prem their gates were woeful.

I don't think that was a rule, it was just advised that it should be used that way
