There have been expressions of interest in Ryan from France – as has been the case with several other Irish players in the recent past – although it’s understood the player is keen to remain in Ireland."
PS I thought they were all IRFU contracts these days?

we could only offer him more money if Munster withdrew their offer
Take it as a given he wants to play more for Ireland and go to the world cup then staying in ireland (well Munster to be realistic) is the only option
This is where Munster (or a sponsor) should arrange a a corporate sponsorship/top up

Re: Rumour Mill
That's a novel new way for NIQs to block Ireland players. Munster have spent so much money on 9 NIQs that they can't afford to pay for Ryan.

Re: Rumour Mill
Ridiculous that Munster are low-balling him. Actually on the same money he'd be better off in Leinster, playing with the rest of the Irish pack.simonokeeffe wrote:correctChrisUppy wrote:But we wouldn't be allowed to offer him more money than Munster, no?

Re: Rumour Mill
They'll find the money from somewhere. He's far too valuable a player for them to lose.
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

more starts in big games?
Hopefully he sticks around Leinster, would be a big loss despite depth in the backrow.

Munster not in control anymore they are effectively under full control of IRFU after being bailed out. Decision making is out of their control, they can make suggestions but nothing elseCianostays wrote:They'll find the money from somewhere. He's far too valuable a player for them to lose.

Re: Rumour Mill
It's a guideline that has been ignored for other provinces in the past.munster#1 wrote:The guidelines laid out by the irfu are that a province can not sign a player in a position that has previously been occupied by a Niq.
We've had no issue blooding young lads this season with 2 foreign guys in the back 3. Personally I'd be pretty happy holding on to Isa and Zane. I don't think we're even considering AAC, let alone trying to make it happen. If we can hold onto both of those on the understanding that Zane is a squad guy who won't block player development and get in a top class lock then I think that's all Leinster need. Isa and said top class lock would really be the only NIQ players in our first string XV. And JGP would be the only other one in our 23. Can't see the IRFU arguing with that tbh.munster#1 wrote:If Leinster have isa and an other winger, how much game time will all of these products get.

Re: Rumour Mill
Aren't they out of that now? Was said after all sell out recently they're back on track which is possibly true bu fact you see them linked with few signings. Also they get alot of revenue now on matchdays. The recent Shannon RFC bar report showed they've made more in bar between Sept 16 to Jan 17 than they did Sept 14 to June 16Armchair wrote:Munster not in control anymore they are effectively under full control of IRFU after being bailed out.

Re: Rumour Mill
Munster owe 9m to the Irfu for Thomond Park build, on top of that they got bailed out to the tune of 1.2m to 2m last year by the IRFU, that's the amount Munster Rugby fell short of last year. They are going better this year sure with attendances, but no they are not out of 9 + 1.2 / 2m. They wont be until some time in the 2030'sMunsterSugar wrote:Aren't they out of that now?

I presume people are joking with this type of talk. The guy is 22, has 31 Leinster caps, an Ireland cap, 18 appearances in the 21 games so far this season and is one of the most highly rated young players in the squad, in one of the most competitive areas of the squad.MunsterSugar wrote:Probably feels he can be higher rated and better exposure elsewhereDexter wrote:Why would he do that?
