Hendys the big one there.

Big concern re Leone is attitude, on his day will be an offloading machine for our twinkle toed youngsters, but there are doubts in my mind. Different with big nick, he was a playing in a bad team before us in. Italy but got the games under his belt.

My understanding is that Dan was an assistant coach at Glasgow when Nakarawa was very good and got his move to R92 on the back of his form.

I remember when Nick signed, the Munster fans especially were shocked given how he had played there. It worked out.

Hendy is obviously down to the IRFU in the first instance.

Talk of Stander leaving for Bordeaux but that may be coming from his agent.

Ireland are not well stocked at lock.

Stander's agent earning his cash. Old tactic, Earls was apparently joining Saracens a couple of seasons ago etc and stayed.

CJ has just invested in Louis’ sausage so you’d think he’d want to stay hands on.

TBH If i was Hendy I'd be looking for something new. When your best mate is loving life in France, and your kids are young enough to move, now is the time. I wouldn't blame him at all for moving on. Its a short career.

Yeah and that turn around in form was the environment and being familiar with the coach. Dan will know what he's getting and so will Nakarawa - could even be part of the reason he signed for Ulster- to work with a coach who gets him.

Yes of course, with no tv coverage of Top 14 in UK/Ireland it can get forgotten etc.
