Cracking. Another Irish head coach working abroad, can do no harm.

Think Easterby can be a massive success there. Was inside already as a coach, Club is close to his heart and in his blood and he will definitely have a huger.

Nice, i've been impressed by him in the 7's. It'll be interesting to see if he can make an impact at Northampton

Another fella I was in school with, played fly half for our firsts. Really good player, from the pictures that have popped up on my news feed, think he's been playing a lot for Wales Students this season.

Ospreys release 10 players:

http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/Owen-10-released-Ospreys/story-16346074-detail/story.html

To sum it up:-
Gareth Owen, Barry Davies, Chauncey O'Toole, Stefan Watermeyer, Matt Torrance, Dai Flanagan, Rory Pitman, Ben Thomas, Craig Cross and Ken Dowding.

I'm suprised by Owen's release, he's been injured for the whole of last season so i thought he would have been given a shot. I wanted to see him at fullback next year, hope he can find another region. The Scarlets, Blues or Dragons could use him or even an English club or French one so this isn't the last we've seen of him. In fact i'd push Mallinder at the Saints to try and sign him up, he could be a good 12 for them.

Not surprised by O'Toole's release as he's been crap in every game he's played.

I was very impressed by Watermayer's debut, perplexed that he hasn't played any league games. Maybe they didn't play him more so that they didn't have to pay him.

I wanted to Barry Davies to stay so we would have some experience and at least one out and out fullback in the squad!

I thought Craig Cross looked like a good prospect at tighthead but we've got Aaron Jarvis and Joe Rees. Also, maybe he just hasn't improved in the scrums, Cardiff Blues take note with Scott Andrews!

Dai Flanagan was nothing more than a squad player so i guess Sam Davies will play a bit more next year, especially if Biggar is in the Wales squad.

Not really supirsed by the other releases they are just squad/reserve players so i guess they'll look to the Academy/Welsh prem to bring in some replacements... or not?

I guess that the salary cap being introduced means that they'll have to cut back and have a smaller squad. But i hope that Tandy and co are going to sign up some new players because the back three in particular next year is looking very light

We're still building the squad so i'm not excpeting much in the HC, let's just try and build. Baby steps people! baby steps
