[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 1131297, member: 56767"] That was idle chat (at least in here, if not the corridors of power) several years back, but with a view to playing in the English Premiership. They might come at a viable price now - but that still doesn't make the deal a good one for the IRFU. The age old question of them being nomads raises its head. Additionally - the IRFU probably wouldn't want to retain much of what presently exists. Players, staff and even their RFU league entry - all probably surplus to requirements. All that would really be of interest would be the brand - the IRFU would essentially be buying a support base that might come over anyway if LI folded and the IRFU started a new team. [/QUOTE]
