He recently stated that he is coming back to NI with his family..

He's 40 years old. A coaching role more likely.

Did they find any PEDs ?

He’s our new 10.

Not much older than Crudden.

Decent performance. Some atrocious trys handed over to them. Stephen Watson making a bit of a d!ck out of himself on BBC. Tommy rightly shooting him down. We played really well. I have been very critical of the team like many others. But fair play to the whole 23. One hundred per cent effort. Onwar...

The glass is definitely half empty after viewing that 23.

Imo; Carre call was correct. Cooney knocked on before Ulster try. Cormac's tackle was correct, indeed was exactly what you need, memories in my mind still strong from Balaucoune and Addison pawing off Connacht flanker on his way to the line and to a win. I may be wrong but think Adamson may have be...

Ross Molony going to Bath on a 3 year deal. They will probably sign Scott Barrett as a replacement!!!

He’s joining after the AI. Plenty of options to choose from for his sabbatical and he picked one with family connections. NIQ centre Ngatai (34 in August and generally injured) coming up to the end of his second year. Why wouldn’t the IRFU sanction it? Cost was covered by switching Sheehan on to a ...

Now that the Barret signing is confirmed can anyone explain what the pressing need is that allows Leinster to sign such as high profile player. I assume that this must have been approved by D4 and its not as if Leinster were short of talent Apparently to cover the Autumn International period. They ...

Can anyone in simple terms list the budgets of the 4 provinces, including the value of central contracts?? What is the true gap? I don't believe anyone knows. Ulster is the only Province that publishes their financial accounts. Munster stopped publishing theirs a few years ago. It is said we are al...

Leinster having the Aviva on their doorstep paying off massively for them with signings like this. The gap in rugby is getting wider between the haves and have nots. I think Connacht, Ulster and Munster will continue to struggle financially. There is perhaps some hope for Munster as they seem to ha...

Jordie Barrett linked with Leinster on their forum. Jackman had heard the rumour via a player apparently. He’s still got a year on his contract fwiw. Jackman reckons Leinster were looking at Jared Payne for attack coach but are becoming increasingly interested in 33 year old former Munster outhalf ...

I hope she becomes a commentator.

I think she has got a job in World Rugby overseeing referees.
