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.

Nice wan.Fardy wrote:“I’m also excited about the chance to join Leinster next season. But I’ve got a lot that I want to achieve at the Brumbies and it should be a great year with the boys.”
Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?
Re: Rumour Mill
Looks like a good move. I like when we have at least one lock who can play backrow as they are obviously better movers.Kinger83 wrote:Apparently Scott Fardy is joining Leinster after the Super Rugby season.

Re: Rumour Mill
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.MunsterSugar wrote:Not necessarily missing 2. 1 will be 3rd choice at best only and competing with Blenyendaal for 3rd choice spot.fourthirtythree wrote:Well before the season I would have thought a NIQ outhalf was what we needed but weren't allowed. 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.

A good signing and exactly what is required. Hope everything works out for him.Kinger83 wrote:Apparently Scott Fardy is joining Leinster after the Super Rugby season.

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

Re: Rumour Mill
@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

- 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.

Re: Rumour Mill
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.

Re: Rumour Mill
Did he not, rather spectacularly, fly off the handle at Leo's appointment as head coach?
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Re: Rumour Mill
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.

Re: Rumour Mill
It looks like he's been proved wrong about Leo so maybe he's lurking sheepishly somewhere.
The odds are good but the goods are odd.
Re: Rumour Mill
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.nc6000 wrote:Nice one. 10372 posts and over four years later the rumour from the first post in this thread happens.ror wrote:There are serious talks going on with Top Notch second row.

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

Re: Rumour Mill
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.

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