Murray K Larkham says there are no short-term plans to sign second row cover after the injuries to Snyman and Jean Kleyn. Mentions academy pair Thomas Ahern, "who is showing a lot of promise," and Paddy Kelly as two players they would be comfortable using in the senior team. Same story at ...

JACK WILLIS rejected a move to Ulster this summer because he wants to force his way into Eddie Jones’ England squad this autumn.

He looks far more handsome in it

shall be amusing when he is starting at 10 alongside Cooney.. it's possible last time they lined up together on the field was the euro final against Ulster.

The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has finalised plans to facilitate the return of academy players following the return of senior squads in June.

they've taken leinster and munster cast offs already.

Connacht Rugby are delighted to announce the signings of Australian 7s player Ben O’Donnell and Bay of Plenty Number 8 Abraham Papali’i.

I'm surprised they have't tried to play the SCT final.

Newbridge players have to be gutted, think they tried to start a petition awhile back for the game to be played, but it was quickly taken down.

Nope, god knows when they'll announce anything.. wouldn't surprise me if they waited until after preseason.

So just so I’m clear on what’s happening in the world of Irish rugby, my interpretation is that: -preseason has now started -the 19/20 season will be “finished” from August to October -There will be an international break in October to November -NTHCSBH 20/21 starts in December -Some form of Pro 14...

For Leinster, I reckon Dane Coles

Antoine Dupont - Leinster

Farrell was a poor hire by the IRFU.

Who are the 4 players or coaches that make up your Leinster Mount Rushmore?

I'd probably go with Leo Cullen, Isa Nacewa, Brian O'Driscoll & Jonny Sexton.

PR appears to be working fine again..
