Yeah we were linked with him alright. I'd love to see Furlong come, but it would be a screw over to Leinster if it were Nucifora backed. You're right he'll get decent game time next year. I'd love to see us bag one of Ulster's centres maybe. Something in the water up there.
I've said it before, but it bears repeating... Roberts to Quins is as perfect a signing as they could make.
Think they need a second row.
According to the coaches at the Sale fans night thing last night we're signing an ex All Black lock/backrow (I'm imaging an ageing one cap wonder, no idea who) and also an "experienced international 9" on a 1 yr deal: Stringer?
Jerry Collins is still running around
I got L'equippe with one saying Sean Cox to the Leicster Tigers back a few years agoI reckon it would be fun to start a random transfer rumour like Victor Vito to Ulster, post it on a few comment sections and fan sites and see how long it would take to be quoted as "a source close to Ulster rugby" in the Independant.
I know the Faletau to Bath rumour's been around for a while, but he's now passed the deadline to sign a dual contract which would seem to suggest he's moving abroad at the end of his current contract - and all the papers seem to be referring to him as "Bath target Taulupe Faletau". Personally I think we'd be better off looking for a world class second row, woudn't sniff at him though
Bath don't really need an 8, or is Houston leaving? Anyway, I thought Ford wanted to try Burgess there?
