Danielli to Pests and Annett and McKinney to Bristol are the latest rumoured Ulster departures.

I've always wondered what a quality All Black in a Leinster jersey would look like ...

He looks dashing doesn't he.

Planet Rugby is reporting Sione Kalamafoni is off to Gloucester: http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3823_7597077,00.html

I think thats a good signing, with him & Morgan Gloucesters back row should be very strong?


Edit -Confirmed by Gloucester http://www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk/news/8055.php

I tried to look him up and couldn't find much about him. Do you know anything?

Glos now have for next season: 6: Buxton, Hazell, 7: Qera, Cox (Redpath is trying to convert him, he's more a 6/8), 8: Morgan, Kalamafoni

Buxton and Hazell are on one-year deals, so hopefully this means Redpath is trying to sign a quality 6 to start phasing in. Savage will probably be signed up from the academy, he's had a lot of games this season.

Im afraid the majority of what I know about him is from the World Cup, played well for Tonga I believe as a 6 or 8, remember at the time thinking he looked a good player, good ball carrier.

I think most articles make reference to the try he scored against France, not had any luck finding it on youtube.

 

[welshglory]

I think he mainly played 6 during the world cup. He looked really good.

On the Rotherham Titans website, there's a list of departing players. Robin Copeland has apparently signed for Cardiff Blues. He's a second row/blindside flanker and a try scoring machine.

I'm waiting for TRF_Getofmeland to answer the private message I sent him, there were links on the front page to various sources and I had a post with two different sources removed, and they were two of the sites I got quite a bit of the information from,

I was told right at the beginning of last season's page (see quote below) to put sources in, I don't want any more misunderstandings so I'm waiting for clarification, then I'll put it right back up

Whats the source for this?

He will be a replacement for Molitika who is expected to be retiring.

Looking at your squad you guys are gonna struggle for depth next year. You'll only have 6 back row players (if Molitika retires)! And thats if Paterson plays at 6

It looks like we are losing quite a few players with Casey Laulala - Munster, Gethin Jenkins - Toulon, Dan Parks - Connacht, Martyn Williams _ Released, John Yapp - Edinburgh, Rhys Thomas - Wasps and Richie Rees - TBA

Also expected to leave are Ben Blair, Ceri Sweeney, Maama Molitika, Deiniol Jones, Tao Filise, Paul Tito and a question mark also over Gavin Henson


As for replacements still a lot of talk about Lou Reed coming in and a lot of academy players moving up to the first team squad, Harry Robinson (wing), Macauley Cook (second row), Luke Hamilton (lock/flanker), Thomas Young (flanker), Rhys Patchell (fly half/full back) Owen Williams (centre/wing), its safe to say Robinson and Cook are already there in my opinion along with Copeland we seem to be ok for the back row but not a lot of experience hopefully Lou Reed comes in. Not forgetting we got Navidi, Pretorius, and Warburton we are short on no.8 though with only Xavier Rush there.

Faloon to Connacht confirmed.
