Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
The rumour has resurfaced recently. No idea if it is because of new information or people recycling the same rumour. I know nothing about the guy just said I'd mention it.
There is also a rumour that ex-Connacht player Ciaran Gaffney is going to sign for Zebre. It might happen because of the Bradley connection.

Tiernan O'Hallorans reported comments in the Indo today are pretty directly critical of Pat Lam.

Connacht beat Bristol 24 to 14 in Sportsground yesterday

Obviously got his legal stuff sorted. Don't know a lot about him so will be interested to see how he goes.Denis Coulson has been signed, belatedly.
Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
Connacht were awful tonight. Knocking on all night long and with no penetration in attack. Scrum improved after dreadful start but lineout never did. They did not deserve that bonus point.
Glasgow, in contrast, were very professional in playing the conditions. 2 well executed tries.

Former Connacht player Ciaran Gaffney has signed for Zebre and played in the first game against Ospreys. Seems to have being one of the stand-outs for Zebre too.

Paul Boyle - Back row
Matthew Burke - Prop
Luke Carty - Out-half
Jordan Conroy - Back three
Colm de Buitléar - Back three
Ryan Feehily - Scrum-half
Sean Masterson - Back row

Harley Fox - Back Row
Paul Boyle - Back row

Conroy is 23. A bit old to be joining the academy but they might fast track him.
Interesting that most players are Connacht based. I would assumed that most players would have missed out on other academies.

Re: Connacht 2017 - 2018
think this came up before but isn't Harley Fox IQ or has to be to get an academy contract?
