Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
At this stage Super Rugby is only confirmed for Aus and NZ based comps where they play each. NZ starts off in two weeks. The Australian one in five weeks.

Jean Luc could be a target for one of the Irish provinces. A waste putting him in the row at 1.94 metres and I would expect Sale to have some salary cap pressures.

Pichot needs to get the unnecessary and bloated World League out of his head if he wants to get elected. European RFUs also don’t care for him getting his way in Argentina’s Rugby politics and bailing out mismanaged SANZAAR unions.
