Transfers rumours

[Tony Manx]

Good lord....didn't know he had been ill?

Dunno if this has been said yet but apparently Worcester have signed donncha o'callaghan, I hope this is true he may be old but he's better then anyone else we have.

Im not sure how accurate this is but im an easily persuaded man :/

I've heard Worcester too. What on earth could Toulon gain from signing a player who hasn't been able to get his game for Munster for a few years now.
What Worcester would get from DOC is an insanely driven player who takes incredibly good care of himself in terms of preventing injury, huge experience at the highest level of the game, and someone who has no intention of retiring soon.

He's signed a 2 year deal. With some coaching. He doesn't drink and is an incredible athlete as well as a top man for team morale. He's in Africa until tomorrow. He will be unveiled then I'm guessing

Ok this is a weird one but on the club forum they seem to think we are interested in signing AJ Maginty the USA fly half yanks is he any good

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Supposedly the Stormers will hear today if Eddie Jones is on board for 2016. Please, I hope our administrators and Jones have come to terms. If his stock wasn't big already in SA, it is now after the weekend.

EDIT: signing confirmed !!! This news and WP thumping the Blue Bulls on the weekend almost makes the Boks' loss to Japan barable... wait, no. Not really.

 

[Sker]

Apparently the entire 2015 Springbok squad is up for grabs after the weekend, they put it on Gumtree

James Marshall --> Irish done deal according to TRP. If this is true think could be a good signing.

He looked great v Samoa, can make a break and gives the ball at the right time.

 

[Groundhog]

McGinty is an Irish lad who played his schools rugby in Blackrock and qualifies for the USA through residency. Helps the Irish bit of London Irish I suppose. Seems good with the ball in hand and we'll able to make a break.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Manu ---> Toulouse
Picamoles ---> Saints/Sarries/Clermont

 

[TheSaffycen]

I doubt Picamoles would go to us, we already have Vunipola/Vunisa/Wray and Rhodes. Saints have lost Manoa so would be an incredible signing.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

If he goes it will be to Clermont.

Can see Manu going France and then we will sign Nadolo as a replacement

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bastareaud -----> Wasps
Fickou --------> Toulon
SBW ---------> Toulon
Mermoz ------> Tigers & Stade
Manu ---------> Toulouse
Ben Youngs --> Bath
R.Gray -------> Bath
Charteris ----> Bath
Picamoles ----> English club
Kruger -------> Toulouse


The French media don't sleep when it comes to rumours.

 

[ncurd]

I'll take B. Youngs in heartbeat EXACTLY what we are missing most @ Bath.

Not sure how much we'll exceed the salary cap by if we get him though....

Him, Gray and Charteris.

Although If youre already over you might as well do it in style

 

[GoTheNaki]

I posted somewhere else, but, as far as I know, this is legit, done.

Sean Wainui -> Canterbury Crusaders.

Young man is going to be very interesting, surprised the Hurricanes didn't get him. Maybe they offered, maybe Sean chose the most storied Super Rugby team in history. But still, would have liked to have seen him move to the 'Canes. He played a very good game for Taranaki versus Canterbury in the ITM Cup. So... Will watch with interest no matter where he goes.
