Ex-Leinster players

I see Sam Coughlan Murray and Harrison Brewer were out for Terenure at the weekend. Brewer was playing backrow too.

Does this mean their venture in Pro rugby is officially at an end?

Also, wasn't Brewer a Marys man?

Jason Harris-Wright was packing down at hooker for Tarf too.

If SCM was released by an RFU championship side youd imagine so sadly. Thought Brewer was Terenure (school), NZ NPC/ANZC wouldnt sustain you year round so maybe its temporary but thats guesswork

Surprised it that it took so long for it to be announced. Might have being a similar circumstance to Chisholm with insurance needing to be sorted.

Very unfortunate with a series of injuries over his short career. Cracking player - think his last game for us was in the European Cup semi-final against Toulon.

Not quite. He came off the bench a few days later away to Ulster.

A great shame he's had to retire at such a relatively young age.

Big Ben Te'o apparently in the mix for the Lions, according to the Telegraph.

The Telegraph website says:
Ben Te’o, who has made just one start in his eight caps on the international stage, is also understood to be in strong contention for one of the five midfield berths.

Can't see it - he's fairly limited.
