You'd wonder if the final decision on s move north for Joey is dependent on Ulster qualifying for the European Champions Cup.
So-
Joey if Ulster beat Ospreys.
Ross if they don't.

Interesting scenario !! But when you think about it, quite a bit to it........Schmidt I am sure wants Joey playing 10 in big euro games for close to test match intensity..... obviously if Sexton stays fit he won't get that at Leinster but if Ulster lose to Ospreys he won't be getting it up in Ravers either......so what's the point.....

Not really. What does he think of Ross Byrne? Didn't see him mentioned at all.

Maybe he was asked about Joey.
Should he namecheck everyone in the squad for fear of causing offence?

The 710 posts attributed to you is a bit generous, when in truth its about 6 variations on the one message

If Sexton is out, will the selection at 10 tell us who is staying at Leinster next year?

Totally unrelated to rugby and no offense intended but that’s a word to make your teeth hurt

Joey to Munster is a rumour I heard widely at the weekend.
Here is the first article on it I've seen: http://www.the42.ie/leinster-joey-carbe ... 5-May2018/

That would be very annoying if that move happened. Munster already have 3 senior OHs.

there has been several articles in the papers about it in the past week to 10 days.

Probably likely to happen would be my guess, unless Joey puts his foot down and stays at leinster.

I could think of nowhere I would least like him going. The thought of it makes me physically ill.
If he were to go, surely they would have to let one of theirs go.
Keatley could then become the first player to be on the books at every province.

Maybe Murray could move to Leinster, makes sense to have the half backs getting as much game time as possible together.

Sadly leinster management or fans don't seem to have any say in the matter.

I wonder if Leinster could ask for someone in return from Munster. Leinster need a centre. I think they should ask for Arnold in return.He's behind Scannell, Farrell and Taute.

Well if he goes on loan I hope they at least put in some sort of "Permiership-like" clause whereby he can't play against us. T'would be a real sickner to have one of our own players do us over :(

I think Schmidt and Nucifora would see him overtaking Scannell, at least a lot quicker than he would Henshaw, so they would do absolutely nothing to make that happen.
