Jamie Hagan played about 25 mins off the bench for the Rebels in their 85-26 loss to the Crusaders. I thought he put himself about quite well. Grant Nisbett kept calling him "Jamie Magan"

That is a stupendiculous score even by Super Rugby standards.
Good to hear Magan did well though

Re: Ex-Leinster players
Jamie Hagan (sporting a new haircut) came on on 64 mins as the Rebels, having led 7-24 at half-time, held on to beat the Reds 28-31 in Suncorp. The Rebels' scrum seemed to shore up after he took the field, and he held his own in the loose

Re: Ex-Leinster players
Fionn Carr has signed for Naas in the AIL! It seems that he's given up on the pro-game which if true is a shame.
Re: Ex-Leinster players
Cillian Willis taking a case against Sale. He was knocked out during a game but the medics allowed him play on, subsequently he had to retire due to concussions.

From a rugby/medical pov thats alarming. From a legal pov itll be very interesting. Bloodgate amongst other things have shown medics to be as ruthless/pressurised as anyoneNot_Today wrote:Cillian Willis taking a case against Sale.

Re: Ex-Leinster players
I'd say the Willis one will be settled out of court. No way any club wants to bring that to court and create a precedent.
As for Carr I checked on the Connacht fans site and apparently Carr is looking to go to the US league.

Re: Ex-Leinster players
He was released by Pat Lam, he's still only 30 so surprised he hasn't been picked up by anyone. Prodigious talent when he was a kid and scored a lot of tries for Connacht but never really broke through. Hope whatever he does next works out for him!sunshiner1 wrote:Fionn Carr has signed for Naas in the AIL! It seems that he's given up on the pro-game which if true is a shame.

very hard for foreign players to get into NZ super rugby sides, only 2 per team and theres oodles of Pacific Island (project) players to compete with
More likely path is they just get better and get contracts in NH

Re: Ex-Leinster players
better off playing rugby down there and coming north, it will improve them no end.
It's something I think Leinster should do more of, sending players to NZ to play rugby and develop.
