Rumour Mill

[tingman]

Will Connors is going to Rathkeale - but only for a week over Christmas.

Another rumour going around twitter is that IRFU trying to get Jack McGrath to Ulster. fwiw

At least his mustache will fit right in

Probably why Joe is playing Kilcoyne.... Hey Jack if you want to be number two you got to move and I have someone else now if you don’t do what your told ..... can he not just go back to New Zealand and stop hurting the place that give him his first top job.

In fairness Kilcoyne deserves the bench spot but it always just lines up to hurt us. Leo and Stuart need to up their game in Building a culture of Loyalty around the place because the way so many of our lads suit themselves is sickening.

Surely surely not, hadn’t heard that rumour now...
Jesus I thought the relationship between Leinster and Ireland was strained as it was but that would cause a serious stir
Especially post Carbery soap opera

Don’t really get your point re: culture and Leo
Not much they can do if this kind of cr@p is going on behind there backs really
I find joe comical, seems to screw Leinster any opportunity he gets....forgot where came from pretty quick imo

Jaysus you'd swear rugby had gone professional or something.

Professionalism and Loyalty arnt mutally exclusive.

[mildlyinterested]

only so much leinster can do when IRFU are actively encouraging it. They are the paymasters at the end of the day.

Expect similar to happen with Porter.

Professionalism and loyalty to your previous club is.

Andy Farrell has to coach against his country and his ONLY SON.

Should he be criticized anytime we beat England?

Poor example for obvious reasons (potato’s are stored in them)

[johng]

So Joe should be loyal to his "previous team" but Andy Farrell shouldn't and not only that but he's also a bad example?

By competing against England he’s not f%~king then over, if in his role as Irish manager he convinces his son to leave Sarries to play for Munster that would be bullshit against Sarries where he was employed and they would be right to call it.

Also he was sacked by England and loyalty works both ways.

It’s not good enough (although given age profiles Porter would be more palatable than carbury), it’s not leinsters responseabilty to stock other teams. The players need to be leant on by the club, at the very least they should not go to Munster who are our biggest rivals. People are going to get fed up and stop going to games if this continues and we will turn into the Scottish and Welsh Pro 14 teams.

If the other Provinces keep getting Leinster players for free there is no incentive for them to invest in their academics and fix them. One ulster player in the u20 23 for the first two rounds of the U20 six nations ..... on the bench .... not good enough

I dont disagree, but the IRFU dont care, a strong leinster isnt the priority and in some ways makes thing harder for the irfu.

[Jonny tight lips]

rumour on another forum that leinster will be losing a unspecified front rower at the end of the season.

More than likely one of Ed Byrne or Peter Dooley. Ulster or Connacht would make the most sense but it might be Munster. James Cronin can't stay fit.

Munster will probably get another South African, they have so many South Africa Mercenaries playing for them these days you would swear Mark Thatcher is head of recruitment.

That's a fairly decent point. He IS a bad example.

His wife just opened a business and they have a baby...I would say there's absolutely no truth to this, but let's keep bashing the IRFU despite it probably being complete nonsense.

A lot of people that Joey was complete nonsense a year ago,

[ronk]

Why would Joe move a player for next season, it's disruptive?

McGrath was affected by carrying an injury and hopefully that will be fully resolved when he gets back to 100% which could be soon.

If he's frustrated with falling behind he may feel that it's a good option but it doesnt always work. Sharing duties with Healy has worked for a long time.
