More than he's ever going to get at the Not Nots!
At last, maybe we can finally see if he can be the player he always promised to be. Re-united with his midfield partner of the U20 WC, Jon Davies aswell.Originally Posted by scar123
Hope it's true, really do.
I shall be praying it is true.

Funnily enough, that picture is also my desktop background. Except on my desktop Biggar's arm covers Bish's face. Confident one overshadowing the quiet one? Just hit me now. Heh. Fancy that.

Wasn't the talk over him going to Wasps? Why is he suddenly destined for Reading Tongan?
Gah, I did mean Wasps, i had L.I on the brain from reading about Ormsby
Wasps aren't exactly pushing for a trophy this season either, though
Geraghty's in talks with Brive this week apparently.
Talk about lacking ambition.

Andy Goode left some pretty big boots to fill
Geraghty wont last in France, I think though he just looking to be playing regularly now and doesn't have ambition to challenge for a jersey at a top club any more.
Leinster are being strongly linked with Fionn Carr of Connacht (again) and Damien Browne of Brive.
Not to mention a huge pair of shorts and one of the widest 10 jerseys aroundAndy Goode left some pretty big boots to fill
Any more on this? I thought his contract wasn't up until 2013?
OSPREYS CALL TO ARMS: "As the Good Lord said, love thy neighbour as thyself. Unless he's a Turk, in which case KILL THE BASTARD!!!"
Rumours were big on Saturday that it nearly a done deal. Carr wants to go and Schmidt wants him but IRFU are stalling as they dont think deal is right. Browne would be an interesting deal as he is Irish and Leinster need a lock. But would he be challenging for a spot
Apparently was in the Rugby Paper - though they seem to print anything and everything, not just stuff with any truth behind it
Contract is up at the end of the 2012/2013 season so they're either going to pay out a fair bit for him, or it's a load of cr@p

Brive are a former topclass rugby team that just got knocked out of the second best continental competion in Europe by the former best team in europe in the quarter final.
How does that lack ambition for money?
There's something special happening at Brive?

Got to be fair to the paper its actually pretty good, something the Fail could learn from when reading their newspapers. Although Jackson and Cain are douchebags

Browne would probably be signed for squad depth and take the place of the retired Trevor Hogan.
There was an interview on Newstalk with Joe Schmidt yesterday. He mentioned that when the internationals are unavailable, he has no choice but to pick kids and this is hampering efforts to make the top 4 in the Magners League. The confirmed and rumoured signings address this problem. Berquist is a more experienced 10 than McKinley and Madigan. Sykes and Browne won't miss time during the international window like Hines. Carr is a proven player unlike Morris, Kearney and Conway. Cronin is international class unlike Harris Wright.
Basically, Schmidt was given a year to try younger players and now having seen what they're capable of, he's filling any gaps in the squad where he thinks the kids might not be up to it.
Agreed Snoop but it is IRFU that are stalling Carr deal. Do you think they're trying to force him up north.
If I am being honest I dont see Carr starting on the Leinster team
ss
The way Fitz is going (looks to be on a downward form spiral) he could well overtake him (then again, I imagine there are players already in the Leinster team/academy that could do that?)

I could take or leave Carr signing. On the plus side, he's a proven try scorer, will allow Fergus McFadden concentrate on playing centre and will push an ageing Shane Horgan and out of form Luke Fitzgerald. On the other hand, is he any better a long term option than Andrew Conway or Dave Kearney?
Not a big Dave Kearney fan-he seems a bit square whenever I see him. No more than a squad player for the future, and I thought Conway was more a fullback?

Conway's a winger now. Kearney has improved a lot this season.
In Leisters defense they could loose up to 7/8 backs to world cup and can't really depend on inexperienced players for 9/10 weeks
I could see us losing up to 10:
Reddan, Boss, Sexton, Dorce, Drico, Lukey F, Shaggy, Robnoxious, Fergus, and Shaggy will all we in with a shout of making the plane.
Have ye 2 Shaggys Feic but hard to see Horgan.
The backs I expect Kidney to pick:
Earls Bowe BOD ROG Sexton P. Wallace Trimble Reddan TOL Stringer Kearney Trimble Then last spot I think may be between McFadden and G. Murphy (if fit).
Bloody hell you really have come round to him as a player if you think Kidney's going to clone him and take two Andy Trimbles.
Second one would make a handy back-rower actually.

My badI got it off Feic and he the one player I struggle to rate in green
Rumours now in Limerick that Richard Kahui is on Munster's radar.
A good solid player who isn't guranteed a World Cup spot but I am conscious that he can be injury prone and C. Cullen comes to mind.
The was a rumour a couple of days ago that Conrad Smith was all but signed by Munster.
That would be the best possible signing for munster in my opinion ..experience, class , a calm head and a player with no illusions of grandeur ..
ss
Smith is the top target but i think a few minor hiccups are there at moment and attentions have been switched to possible alternatives. I just hope there no panic and well let's just get a player without the panic of trying to rush a signing just to announce we've got a name
