The only backline position a marquee signing would be somewhat justifiable is wing, even then it's not really. The fact that Jordie doesn't cover it really makes it all the funnier.

I'm sorry Leinster are a good team.

I mean if Osbourne continues his form he'll be borderline unstoppable.

While there is no way the two announcements are correlated in that way, Leinster's 10 CCs are a big part of the reason you can spaff 200K on something you really don't need. Produce good players and they get CCs allowing you to sign good backups to cover while they are with Ireland. Beautiful in it...

Looking forward to the Leinster TH signing.

Why should Leinster be hamstrung because other teams are shite?

It’s hilarious let’s be honest
Would've preferred a wing or a TH, but Jordie is great for the memes.
Jordie and Snyman is a pisstake but very funny just to see the Munster lads lose their shit

It's worth it for that alone, even if Snyman is a lemon.

Thats the best thing about it. Its the rugby equivalent of that lad at the Galway races drying his face with a 50 quid note

Jordie Barrett would be such a weird signing, he'd be a guaranteed starter and you've Ireland internationals galore to pick from in his positions Would be weird alright. Although he's fairly like for like with Ngatai in that he's primarily a 12 who can cover across the backline but hard to see it s...

Between RADGE, CC for Sheahan, and now Jordie. Top lolz from Leinster

What's Jordan's current contract status with Crusaders?
Leicester Fainga’anuku in limbo at the moment?

Hope Leinster sign another player, could do with a winger as well.

I did notice that actually. 12 is his best position though. Also Hugo Keenan.

Yeah, I guess they noticed how quickly things can get less than optimal when 2 backs get injured.

Floppykid

Oh wait, it's second half of next season?

Floppykid

I think it's fine. Leinster carry everything and haven't been allowed to sign big players since Lowe. Leinster deserve this.

why? he is a short term signing for 6 months.

You're right it's actually an endorsement of Frawley.

Big money Leinster.

Still thinking about killing rugby's values and how satisfying it is. Best part was how easy it was for Leinster.

What's the consensus? Iranians justfied to do something or not? My take is that the Israelis would have factored in an Iranian response prior to their mission in Damascus. After Trump killed Solemni they struck a US base, so the Isrealis had to know something was coming. Iranians put big bells and ...

Can you post some context when you share a twatter link?

Oh yeah sure. Will do, don't mean to cause anxiety.
