My subs: Tracy, McGrath (Dooley could put him under pressure next year), Porter, Toner, VDF, McCarthy, Byrne, Larmour

Significant Others: Dooley, Ruddock, Deegan, Doris, JGP, Frawley, ROL, Dave K, Ferg, Daly, A. Byrne
Tomane has a long way to go before he displaces Ferg. He had an unbelievable year, and comfortably outplayed him when he played against us.
Dooley has afair bit to do to pass Jack McGrath too.

There's enough rugby to be played for Ferg and Joe, especially with the number of guys getting Schminutes.

Happy with this, centre pairing of Tomane and O'Loughlin works for me as backup to Ringshaw....good work Leo et al....gap filled.

Good signing. We were a bit light at centre. Some head of hair on the lad eh! Hate to be sitting behind him at the movies.

Smokin Joe Tomane I believe is the name he had down under. Looking at a few you tubes of our Joe, he's got a bit of pace alright. Him and JLO are going to be a nightmare next season, hopefully for the opposition. Go Joe.

Delighted with that. He sounds like a lad who will be willing to help young lads develop too.

Isa or Joey? :cry:
He'll probably play more for us (barring injury) than both of them put together last year. That's not an awfully high bar of matches I know but he will be a hugely important addition to the squad.

Isa had a chronic injury and age related concerns, Joe was injured playing for Ireland (and game managed by Ireland too).

We would be very unfortunate if Tomane isn't a regular squad member for most of the season.

Isa is utterly irreplaceable.

We did however need an EUQ utility back to fill a similar role to Isa

I think that we have chosen very well, an international who has played 11 through 14 in the Top 14 with a good try scoring record at club and international level. That is a quality piece of work by Leinster

Expecting a younger Isa would be a reliable way to set ourselves up for disappointment.

He's a good guy with a good record and hopefully he'll be like our last Australian signing.

I never expect to see a younger Isa again! I'm lucky enough to have seen it at all.
