Tomas O'Leary to join London Irish

[irelandfan123]

The 28 year-old will join the Exiles in the summer from Munster, where he has won two Heineken Cups and two Magners League titles.
O'Leary will replace former England scrum-half Paul Hodgson, who will leave London Irish for Worcester at the end of this season.

First actual Irish player to play for Irish in ages. Pity he's now terrible.

Bob Casey? Brian Blaney? James Sandford?

Though 3 out of however many isn't that many considering their name.

Forgot about Casey and Blaney actually can't figure out if I know who Sandford is.

Ex-Ulster, I think - though only through the academy I think (he's early 20s now, so would have left there at 19/20)

Casey is retiring at the end of the season, and Blaney is being released to make way for Scott Lawson, whilst Sandford is a reserve who only really plays LV Cup matches

so they are only likely to have two in their squad next season, there are much more Welsh regions rejects in their squad (Smith, Allinson, Shingler, Spratt, Siggery)

Well no because we haven't won a European Cup yet so technically we don't count
