Transfers 2015/16

[Irish boy]

Rob McClusker --> Irish used to be serious player at Scarlets haven't seen much of him recently

 

[Geordie]

Rumours abound that we have signed Scotland flanker John Hardie the openside.

Interesting if that has any substance especially after signing Latu the tongan captain whos a 7 AND our own captain Will Welch is a 7....

Plus Dan Temm a young Kiwi 7 of our own who has been very positive in the warm ups / pre seasons.

 

[Groundhog]

Hayden Triggs --> Leinster

 

[munstermuffin]

Hayden Triggs --> Leinster

Is this short term?

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Is this short term?

Until the end of the season.

 

[munstermuffin]

Until the end of the season.

Not bad. He's a decent enough 2nd row but more a journeyman than anything. Will be useful throughout season as squad player.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Telusa Veainu ----> Leicester Tigers

Adds more speed to our backline.

Could be looking at a backline of:

9) Youngs
10) Burns
11) Betham
12) Manu
13) Veainu
14) Goneva
15) Tait

When all fit.

 

[Groundhog]

AJ McGinty --> Connacht

 

[munstermuffin]

AJ McGinty --> Connacht

He is Irish after all
Could be a nice fit there.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers confirm Djustice Sears-Dur and Telusa Veainu excellent signings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Munster have brought Uruguayan tighthead Mario Sagario in on trial. He started all four World Cup games for his country.

 

[MunsterMan]

Archer needs surgery on his neck, so it makes sense. Would make more sense for Leinster to loan us a tighthead. Moore and Furlong should be playing every weekend for their development, and Mike Ross is a cork man after all.

Issues here with IRFU.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Liam Forsyth: Wigan Academy --> Bath Academy

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers confirm JDV has signed.

Boooooo

- - - Updated - - -

Here's the complex question though according to the BBC he's out of contract in the summer. If he still moves to Bath as my understanding is Gatland won't be able to stop that then (especially from a legal point of view) how much a stink will the welsh regions kick up as they couldn't get any money for him and had the chance?

It would appear that they can still sell him, but that they will face a fine.

Newport could either sell for £150K and accept the fine or, wait and he goes for free at the end of his contract.

Also I wonder how Toby feels, being told he can't develop his career at club level.

No Toby you have to stay in Wales and hope to win 6N and play in a RWC every 4 years...

Would you accept that?

Leicester team starting to look very strong...
