I understand the sentiment CE, but that really is picking and choosing.

For me you either accept all of the benefits of the rule or none of them

Apparently Scott Fardy is joining Leinster after the Super Rugby season.

Looks like a good move. I like when we have at least one lock who can play backrow as they are obviously better movers.

David Nucifora's tough "love" has born fruit in that Byrne has developed brilliantly. Carberry still would have been playing but Byrne wouldn't have got games. We still have a problem in that we'll be missing two to Ireland probably next year and that's before injury.

I guess that Isa notionally covering outhalf when we only had one in the squad was a part of him getting retained.
Not necessarily missing 2. 1 will be 3rd choice at best only and competing with Blenyendaal for 3rd choice spot.

Crystal ball gazing time. Based on their current performance and development trajectory I could easily see Leinster supplying 1st and 2nd choice 10's by next years 6n. Not saying it will happen but it is not a fanciful possibility.

A good signing and exactly what is required. Hope everything works out for him.

It is totally hypocritical sentimental nonsense on my part.
I am totally in favour of people who choose come to live in Ireland to make their lives also having all the rights that goes with that; I also hate the IRFU cannibalising Leinster: so it is gross hypocrisy on all fronts

Bit harsh on yourself there CE, or I've been totally whooshed (unconsciously scratches head)

@Fireworks being honest I can't see Carbery out doing Jackson unless Jonny has another major injury crisis. Jackso will be playing in an Ulster team I'm predicting on the up when Gibbes makes his mark, Blenyendaal will be Munster starter. Both these guys will have exposure in big games at 10 while Carbery will be slightly limited considering he has Sexton in front so it is a tougher battle. Considering there isn't huge gap between any

Only slightly tongue in cheek.
- I think Kimmage has done a great job over the years but I think his crusade against naturalisation in rugby is totally wrong. The way he (and some ex players) have been discussing the issue is a bit too breitbart for my taste. If you make another country your home, why should you not be allowed to represent that country?
- I also hate the thought of us losing multiple players from key positions to the Ireland squad.
So, on both fronts, I should be happy about Blyendaal.

He copped a bit of abuse on here and made the (somewhat justified) decision to stop posting as a result. We kind of bit the hand that fed us. I'd personally love to be getting the occasional inside line from him.

Did he not, rather spectacularly, fly off the handle at Leo's appointment as head coach?

LeRouxIsPHat · Post by **LeRouxIsPHat** » March 3rd, 2017, 12:58 am

Think he called it a farce a few times and people didnt take kindly to it so he left.

Others disagree but I thought he did have some good info and was connected in some way. I always suspected he knew BOD.

It looks like he's been proved wrong about Leo so maybe he's lurking sheepishly somewhere.

I posted this because when I open a thread using the Tapatalk app it shows me the first post rather than the most recent so I keep seeing the original second row rumour.

It wasn't anything to do with the person who posted it or any reasons why they don't post anymore.

David Kelly linking us with James Lowe this morning.
Sounds very much like he's making it up though, no real concreteness about anything in the article:
http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/g ... 97842.html

Would be a super signing, but I just can't see us being allowed to sign a young outside back to replace Zane, nor do I think we should be tbh.

yeah looks like BS to me too.

Just read same thing, seems predicated on Lowe wanting to move and assumption we get an NIQ to replace Zane

Also adds Nagle to list of potentially departing locks which would be somewhat of a surprise
