Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I think this kind of signing isn’t an issue if there a redirection of some younger players to fill problem spots in other provinces. Even as a short term basis. Season long loan for tector up north? Osborne or Boyle head down south. Connacht haemorrhaging players. But every indication suggests this...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Meanwhile Ulster have signed a SA 7’s player, massively in debt and paying off a player we could never have afforded in the first place, stuck with a fly half who wants to play 9 and half a squad for next season We must be signing the other Barrett brothers then so :thumbup: This isn't true.

He's the best player in the world by miles so only right he wins tbf.
Mad stat that he's never won a tournament after April in his career, all 11 of his wins have come in feb-Apr

Tbh, my fear is that the British State is so poor it cannot be fixed. Look at how many rugby coaches were teachers back in the day. Jim Telfer taught at the school Darcy Graham and Stuart Hogg came from. That level of expertise in a coaching system doesn't vanish when somebody retires, it gets pass...

FWIW I read somewhere on Twitter today that last years round of 16 match at LR generated € 1.4m for Leinster, after the € 400k rental fee, and 35% of the gate receipts going to Ulster. It really shows the importance of a home match in the round of 16; and must have Ulster and Munster looking to use...

Re: Bulldog Memorial Cup: Masters 2024
Also speaking of LIV, looks like Rahm has some regrets over his move, basically jumped thinking there would be an agreement to bring things together and now misses the big events and is instead playing with no marks in Saudi.

Every squad needs its journeymen. I'd say the three provinces you mention have a few players knocking about who would aspire to being just that. Or who have been that, perhaps (perhaps not) deservedly, but through age/mileage are no longer hitting those dizzying heights. There are two tasks needing...
