[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Forgot about the suspension, but the 5pts is suspended for two years not 5pts for two years

Is it not dependent on you not breaking the rule again?

.....well, yeah?
That's what a suspended sentance is

Na what I mean is do you get docked 5 points in two years time or are you basically on probation for 2 years?

Freddie Burns -> Shokki Shuttles in the 2nd tier in Japan

Wow moving to a country where you don't speak the language to play second tier rugby is a big move! He should ask Billy how he managed it in Ulster.

Remember arguing on this forum with two lads who thought Burns would start over Sexton for the 2013 Lions.

I don't remember that argument. I did dig out the thread where you, sorry Superprop, went looking for an argument about who was better Sexton or Trinh Duc.

And then we lost a third of the tests

Makes you think

Joe Tomane --> Dragons

It's a real pity for him this season was cut short. He was looking really good. Seems like a great team player, wish him the best.

Chris Cook --> Bristol Bears

Mixed feelings about this one. Shame as he was a Bath boy (another one leaving us like Burns!) but troubled with inconsistency. Definitely had the ability to make some games but also had the ability to break some as well. Wishing him the best at Bristol.

Given that Webb is on the move after the season along with Cook, this leaves us with Will Chudley amongst Green and Fox in the academy. Might be wise at some point to bring in a solid name at 9 to bolster this if we are to solve our predicament at 9/10.

Kurtley Beale to join Racing 92 on a two year deal

 

[Groundhog]

Both Sammy Arnold and Conor Oliver heading to Connacht apparently. Both guys are 24 and at the stage of their careers they want to play meaningful time.
Two players I'd really like to succeed. Sammy in particular has bags of potential, is only 24, has been capped and has played extremely well at a European level, and was MOTM against Tigers. I just hope the knee doesn't haunt him.

I actually hadn't heard that! 42.ie comments sections will be in shambles. He will still be up against it to win the 7 jersey in Munster from Jack O, Tommy and Cloete as well as Hodnett and one or two others on the come up. I suppose in Ulster you have a seasoned international at 7 and Connacht have their club captain at 7 so its not an easy route at any province.
Fabulous player I'd be happy to have though, he was top notch against us after Christmas.

To be fair it is just rumours.
Hodnett will be a top 7.
Tommy has played more of a 6 lately even in training and Jacko is too slow to be a 7. A 6 or 8. And Cloete is a 7 that is suited against specific opposition and when there is a specific backrow balance.
