So it sounds like Ulster went back to Bayonne at the last minute asking for greater compo. I'm delighted he's staying, but this is a mess. What this is basically saying is that until this week McCloskey had it in his head that he was going, and now the rug has been pulled. I'd never doubt McCloskey...

I wouldn't welcome him back. I don't hate him, but I don't want him back. I don't know what happened that night and none of us can say that truth was/ wasn't achieved in that court case.
