Indeed. We could have had a little description

Jordi Murphy(27) - 17 starts, 4 sub appearances(1310 minutes). Increasingly influential following his return from long term injury with his versatility being a particular bonus late in the season when others were injured/returning from injury. Will be greatly missed.

Since the start of 2013-14, SOB has made 34 appearances for us. Compare that to the 2010-11 when Isa made 32 appearances in a single season ha.

I know it's not like for like. But still a pity to see.

Excited to see Ruddock try replicate the form he was showing last Nov-Dec.

Presumably Rhys will be club captain
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

Thanks Mildly, to pick a nit-
Fardy, clocked more miles in the BR than a few of those lads.

Next season will be Rhys's positive. He has a point to prove with a few of his BR contemporaries.

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

I know its probably been mentioned recently, but it's hard to believe that Rhys is still only 27! He seems to have been around forever.

144 caps is a serious chunk of appearances given his age profile too.

Harrison Brewer is playing with the Red Hurricanes in Japan. Marty Banks is the only player in their squad that I recognise.

Before that he played with Manuwatu in the Mitre 10 with Cruden and Nehe Milner-Skudder.

I think it might have been Oz. Wasn't he in Argentina with the U20/21 squad and flown in due to injury??

Yep, it was Australia. Back-row that started that match was 6. Niall Ronan, 7. Shane Jennings, 8. Chris Henry. Down to the bare bones.
