[M Two One]

The French press is saying that Cédric Heymans' move to Bayonne is done, and will be officially announced on the 15th of May, Michalak is likely to follow also according to some reports

Perhaps this will finally help the club achieve stability in the league.

Dragons:
Matthew J. Watkins and Rhodri Gomer-Davies -> Released.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Would suspect that Gomer-Davies would probably sign for Llandovery still only 28 years old. Watkins im unsure of, Im sure the likes of Newport RFC / Llanelli RFC will look to take him on board.

Michael Keating has left Leinster and signed for Doncaster:

He's a decent prospect.

8. Rush (if he leaves a new signing is required)[/FONT][/SIZE]

How has Rush played this season? He almost joined Ulster last season and Cardiff had to pay Ulster compensation if I remember correctly.

 

[munstermuffin]

Rush hasn't been great and Ulster had a blessing in disguise when you see how they've went.

Snoop would you agree Irish provinces have missed out on getting Andress

I haven't seen enough of him to give a proper opinion. From what I have seen, he's very average and isn't a particularly strong scrummager. He could have done a job as Munster backup (he's better than Archer and Borlase) but wouldn't be good enough to be first choice nor would he be better than any of Ulster or Leinster's top two options at the position.

 

[munstermuffin]

Havent seen alot either but wouldve like to have seen him at least be scouted and see can he improve our squad our even Connachts. I'm sure he'd be cheap enough and is IQ and we aren't wxactly oozing tightheads here.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Maybe he was scouted and neither Munster nor Connacht wanted another poor tighthead on their books. He's not even featuring for Quins that much at the moment.

 

[munstermuffin]

I know we haven't scouted him but maybe it was on smart info.
But yes hasn't featured for Quinns and is going to be back up at Exeter too

 

[Peat]

Andress has a contract on the table at Ulster but it was withdrawn due to behaviour, whether thats fairly or unfairly I don't know.

 

[munstermuffin]

I heard that alright he is a bit Neil Best-isque and could be a handful.
Well on plus side at least Cotter will be pushed quicker to I hope.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Karena Wihongi isn't confirmed yet, though

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Apparently, but not confirmed officially from either team

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

does anybody have any ideas of how I can improve this thread?

any ideas apreciated

Are all these now confirmed, if so here are some changes needed to be made:

Joe Ajuwa (released, announced he was leaving in Cardiff Blues (H) match programme)

London Welsh confirmed he has left on loan.

Ajuwa is terrible, Scarlets picked the wrong winger, should have picked Ifan Evans.
