O'Brien signs with IRFU

[Fred Funk]

Does this mean there has been movement on the Heineken Cup argument? Can't see where the money would come from otherwise.

Anyhow, who gives a fupp, delighted.

Perhaps the saving on Heaslip's wages. Also lets not forget BOD is retiring this year, which must free up some cash.

There will be a Hcup next year. The French are taking part and the WRU will, in the event of the current regions aligning with the AP, centrally contract players and form new regions.

One wanders if his current injury and the Irish player management programme had much influence over his decision?

One wonders if his trip to Toulon over the weekend had much influence over the IRFU's decision?

Great news anyway.

WAHOOOOO!!

Well done Seanie, IRFU et al, fantastic news!

[Vamos los azules]

I told yis. That fecker can't even spend a full week in Dublin at a time.

I reckon he got homesick just going over to meet with Toulon

[All Blacks nil]

Great news for Leinster ( grrrrr) and Irish rugby.
Probably a good decision for SOB as well who with the Irish player management system will certainly elongate his career.

I reckon he got homesick on the way to the airport as he crossed the toll bridge

Good man Seanie. Great player. Wouldn't want him playing for anyone but Leinster and Ireland.

Agreed! The "Toulan Tank" just didn't have the same ring to it

[offshorerules]

Happy out, I just hope he recovers from this injury for the quarter finals.

[VGE]

Very very good thing.



Au revoir.

[Alternative Ulster]

So when and where are the street parties? Apart from tomorrow night in the RDS.

[deco]

Great news, hopefully Heaslip will sign as well.

[All Blacks nil]

Good to see SOB listening to and taking ROG's advice.

[[Jackass]]

YESSS! Get in!!THANK YOU Sean O'Brien!!!

A very special mention to the work of the IRFU too. Someone said if either of the lads sign they'll get no credit, but I give them credit, they fought for the man, got the signature and for once got a positive outcome for Leinster, which I'm very greatful for.

Guys, SOB is gone, it's a done deal. Just accept it and move on.
