Transfers rumours

Well considering Corbs is leaving Irish and the fact the LIT management seem to be very happy about Hagan's signing I'd expect he'd be a contender to start. I don't really know how much depth Irish have in the front row though so I may be wrong.

Hagan's a tighthead, not a loosie.

I honestly can't remember how they are doing there - suspect there's a shirt for him if he takes his opportunities, but nothing nailed on.
 
Don't get me wrong Feic as I know last year even he was at fault with poor attitude but still think he was caught in a bad place as the prospects coming through are better IMO but Bent issue I'm sure annoyed him. Funny thing is him and Carr left Connacht to play HEC rugby and yet all their Connacht team mates probably played twice as much.
BG8 I've been on to people involved with Munster signings and it very unlikely Fitzgearld will be coming to Munster.
 
As I said at very start I always felt it was unlikely and even when people were saying it was done deal I was hearing from people talks are still long way from being done and same is situation with McGrath.
Also Kurtley Beale to Leinster starting up and Beale seems to be burning his bridges with ARUbso who knows

Wouldn't want Beale. When on form is incredibly talented and one of my favorite players to watch. However he hasn't been great recently and he is an incredibly disruptive presence who needs some discipline. also becoming quite injury prone. AAC would've been perfect. My favorite from the people being touted would be le Roux.
 
Thing is Beale may be a cheap ish option as I think he's had 1 issue too many and well the weekend bus brawl may have been final straw. But agree on his day he is a joy to watch but for me he goes hot and cold too much.
 
Not sure been mentioned before but it would appear confirmed that Marcello Bosch, released by Biarritz, has signed with Saracens for next season........never saw that coming! Llook forward to seeing how many games he plays and in what position........
 
Craig Gilroy to Munster...

Someone really wants Munster to get a good outside back, which makes sense since Dougie's going at the end of this season but it's like every Irish caped back 3 player is being mentioned.I can't see Gilroy moving TBH. What dose MM have to say however?

Can say 100% Gilroy isn't even a rumour here. He signed until summer of 2016 IIRC and while he may have wanted out if being stuck behind Trimble and Bowe but he will get games and he's happy at his home province. There is no secret that we are looking for a back but I think it more a type of back that can cover centre too. Douggie will probably retire to become a coach if we can get a replacement. As I mentioned before Canterbury links are being explored but can say Gilroy is definitely not on way. Remember we can't offer him a cent more than Ulster and I don't think game time is an issue so it wouldn't even make sense.
 
Wouldn't mind that one hes big quick and strong, but I think we need a player who can cover both the wing and FB seeing as Rob is the only out and out FB i can think of in the squad.

Probably see young Kearney and a youngster (maybe Dardis) there a lot next year

Darren Hudson, SCM and D. Kearney have all played a lot there. I'd say Hudson is better there than on the wing.

Willie le Roux would be the perfect signing IMO.
