[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 369986, member: 13611"] That's really shoddy treatment. However if he's not on an international contract, Munster have a lot of leeway in terms of selection......... .......John Hayes is probably retiring (although we've been saying that for the last 15 years!). Munster have invested a lot in Peter Borlase who can't possibly be as poor as he's looked so far- he probably just needs a break after a long season in NZ. Munster can approach any tighthead prop to compete for the tighthead shirt with a view to signing him since they won't be coaxed into selecting an Irish contracted player. This gives some credence to the Mike Ross returning rumour (although while the Indo says Jamie Hagan has signed for Leinster, it only says Munster are interested in Mike Ross). If Buckley was offered a good deal by Castres, he should take it. If Munster have a chance to re-sign Mike Ross, they should grab it with both hands. All parties win in the short term. Buckley gets well paid, Munster fix their scrum, Ireland have to fork out for one less player. The "losers" are Connacht who look like losing the fast improving Jamie Hagan to Leinster and Leinster in the short term since Hagan isn't yet on Ross' level. Long term it would benefit Leinster.
