Leinster haven't offered him an academy deal.

Sounds like the 28 man squad Connacht have picked are all going to be under contract next year, with a contract extension for TOH likely. Once again, have to question the use of resources as it looks like we’ll be overstocked in the back 3 and TOH has hardly been pulling up trees. Also means Greg Mc...

Even Connacht put nearly 40 points on Ulster this season? (36-11 in Lansdowne Road) Could be worse: Montpellier have actually only won 2 of the matches they have played in Europe and are in the quarters. x( Connacht were shit hot at the start of the season… + a Billy burns special. They Beat bulls ...

I wouldn't have had a huge problem with a red, given the shoulder to face. All the force was due to Marmion, but JGP's shoulder was still at that height and he never bent at the waist. Just lucky that he soaked and didn't launch through his shoulder (like Daly a few weeks ago). Yerman TOC is some e...

Disciplinary committee "found that his action involved a low degree of force which did not warrant a red card."

The Leinster man is free to play against Connacht on Friday.

Interesting

Not sure on Butler’s status, he’s done the residency but think he has to be capped to qualify properly and lose his NIQ status This is exactly it. A fair poor decision to give him 2 more years imo. Agreed. Friend very loyal. He’s been a solid player for us over the years, always fit, versatile and ...

Probably need to drop NIQ numbers tbf

Porch, Hurley-Langton, possibly Fifita on the books for next year. Can’t be too many

They played well. There are 7 or 8 guys who played as well as they have all season. Prendergast, Marmion, Bundee, Mack and Tom Farrell were all very good. If the latter could be relied on for 20 games a year it would be a big difference maker. There's just no margin for error though and the scrum b...

Who is this Goose twat? Not often I find myself taking Winnie's side :uhoh: Not a fan at all of the two legs tbh, doesn't really work for me. Decent match overall, Connacht played well. Leinster by 25 next week though We were ok. Our restarts were u12 stuff and we shot ourselves in the foot at time...

Great game. The key decisions, not surprising. Well used to it. Leinster as good as through but at least they’ve had to think about it. We were really hanging on at times. Don’t get the Lowe hate, cracking player. Himself and Mack are a class above anyone else in Ireland Have to agree, a very enjoy...

No Boyle in the 23, Friend is very very loyal to Butler. Would have started Papa and brought Boyle on. Big ask for Thornbury after so long out. Tiernan at 15 is a liability. For me, I’d have put Hansen at 15 and throw something a bit different at Leinster. TOHs defence has always been awful but he ...

Porterbelly1

Dillane fallen off the radar, prob 5th choice now and not just because he’s leaving but his form has nosedived significantly . Niall Murray unlucky to miss out. Could see him and Boyle start next week

He's still going with it: https://mobile.twitter.com/threeredkings/status/1511635800340971522 I remember when Connacht beat Munster in the rainbow cup he lost it completely, started clipping and posting videos completely out of context to try and make out Munster were robbed. To be fair, he does it...

We seem to have an unmatched ability to completely collapse when the tide turns against us

Some great signings for Con, but yeah, just getting through my first couple of batches of players where I'm roughly the same age as them retiring. :lol: Will TOH be retiring or moving on? No idea. Again, just assuming he's moving on. Porch, Wootton McNulty, Hansen, Byrne, Kilgallen(dev), Jennings (...

Must be a big clearout at Connacht. Still a tighthead to be announced as well Incomings : Josh Murphy, P Dooley, D Hawkshaw, A Byrne, S Hurley Langton, B Ralston.

Centre

1. Dooley 2. Delahunt 3. Aungier 4. Murphy 5. Dowling 6. Prendergast 7. Oliver 8. Boyle Pretty likely i'd say.

What are the odds of seeing an all-Leinster pack start for Connacht at some stage next season? Still the one I'm really sad to lose is Adam Byrne. With Larmour injured he should be next in line on the right wing for my money (he may not now that he's leaving although that would be a mistake for me)...

Porterbelly1

Adam Byrne to Connacht confirmed

Porterbelly1

Dooley to Connacht confirmed. Great bit of business but a bit shocked they gave Butler 2 more years. Agreed. Been a good player for us but with Booth and McCormack getting development contracts, we need to look for a bit of size. Don’t think there’s value in keeping him on, and would appear unlikel...

Porterbelly1

Not sure how the ref who tried to screw us in Scarlets sending off Fifita and trying to get them back into the game can ref us again 2 weeks later. Trying the same trick again anyway.

Porterbelly1

Big fan of Adam Byrne. Always a place for a big athletic winger. Due to the squad sizes being squeezed it looks like we’re able to recruit a higher quality of player from other provinces. Dooley I’m not gone on, he’s had numerous chances to move and has been happy to sit at 3rd/4th choice for years....

Porterbelly1

Be interesting to see what happens contractually with Leva Fifita and Tietie Tuimauga. Fifita starting to show he’s adapting, was excellent yesterday. Big engine. Obviously a higher quality lock would be preferable but the liklehood of that is probably slim. Tuimauga, brought in as loosehead injury ...

Porterbelly1

My favourite win of the season. With the conditions and being behind at half time we had no right to win that. Properly dug it out, great signs

Porterbelly1

I thought Charlie Ryan was going to Exeter. Hawkshaw makes even less sense as he's not a 10 for my money and they have 12s coming out their arse? Would be sorry to see Hawkshaw go. He's a skillful player and the other 12s get injured a lot. Well it would be better if leaving he stayed in the Irish ...

Our attacking breakdown work is incredible. Wales with three 7s and not even a sniff. So so clinical in that department Nd allows us continuity in attack, quick ball and able to retain possession
