Charles Piutau .......Sooner the better.......

[scrum5]

On the subject of Piutau, I honestly don't think he'll arrive at Ulster because he is predominately a running full back and not a hoofer of the ball.

So was Ludik till he was told otherwise, perhaps hoofball will cease now that Ireland see it's a pretty useless game plan

God how I wish I could believe it, I loathe the style of rugby at both province and country at present.

I hope that Kiss is worth the wait, does things differently, issues ultimatums to play more than just when you can be arsed or feck off, and gets poor ould Doakie back to where he is supposedly good, coaching the backs.

I also hope that we might sign one or two quality forwards before they are all bought up elsewhere after the RWC, to energise the decent parts of what is already there. The current pack is creaking at the hinges and some look like retirement is something they are ready to embrace.

Most of the medical jokers we have signed, alas, have just been jokers.

Sagario has been signed as a "medical joker" as the French call them - covering Archer's injury, unrelated to BJ. As mentioned above the article also states that Munster are trying to permission to sign another NIQ "medical joker" to cover injuries to POM and TOD.

L'ancien pilier international uruguayen de Dax qui évoluait à Massy, Mario Sagario (29 ans, 1,87 m, 116 kilos), s’est engagé avec le Munster en tant que joker médical.

Le pilier aux 51 sélections vient de faire la coupe du monde avec son équipe nationale et a joué quatre matches. Il a signé avec la province irlandaise pour remplacer le pilier Stephen Archer, blessé au cou. Anthony Foley, le manager a négocié avec la Fédération pour pouvoir recruter à l’étranger car Peter O’Mahony et Tommy O’Donnell sont forfaits pour plusieurs mois. Mario Sagario, qui a un passeport italien, s’est déjà entraîné avec sa nouvelle équipe.

neil… we have signed a few medical jokers in our time… except ours arrive injured, stay injured and leave fit to play elsewhere..

Stefan Terblanche did okay when he was here, but yes there have been more bad ones than good ones - Boys, Raaymakers, Stanley etc

Boys may have been half decent if he'd been fit, we'll never know. He has just signed a contract with the Crusaders for the 2016 Super Rugby season.

Will we have any NIQ spots? Did I read on here it's being reduced to just 3? Fek.

Currently allowed 5 non Irish qualified players in the squad (mixture of project players/capped internationals for other countries etc). There has been talk of it reducing to 4, but nothing offical has been announced on that.
