Prob agent talk what with Skivs off end of season.

 

[munstermuffin]

I may be 100% wrong on why they're here. But Ian Madigans representatives are here meeting Munster members.

 

[sixesauldman]

Heard something similar at the Connacht game except talks were with the westerners.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Coincidence that he's also been linked to Bordeaux-Begles and Montpellier today?!!

As I said I can only speculate but 100% confirm his representatives have been to view UL and are meeting with Munster and IRFU as we speak. This may not be even about Madigan but I think it's possible there's an opening for a 10 here. He's not a tactical kicking 10 but he would be forced to learn that and wouldn't have the pressure of a Sexton here. Also the IRFU would want him to stay in Ireland.

Lots of rumours on the Irish Times website.

The IRFU want to move Ian Madigan to Munster. Bristol, Harlequins, Montpellier and Bordeaux-Begles also interested.

Robbie Henshaw to Leinster.

Mike Ross to Connacht.

Rodney Ah You to Ulster.

Ben Te'o leaving Leinster.

Leinster are hunting for scrum halves in NZ and have a 3 man shortlist. In the Sunday Times it said Rhys Webb and Augustine Pulu are on the radar.

I report my sightings of guys arriving confidentially to Limerick and then all the reporters come lol. Call me paranoid but have we journalists here lol only kidding.

On that Snoop
Munster linked with Dom Ryan lately. Think it just rumour though.
Ross or Ah You may end up in Limerick too as we need 1 if not 2 THs.
Also Stephen Moore deal may be breathing again. 2 year deal.

They can go for Rhys Webb all they like (being from Wales and all). Better stay away from Brad Weber!

Pulu would be a big steal, but with Weber and Kerr-Barlow at the Chiefs it wouldn't shock me if he moved (the Crusaders would have provided a possibly good move for him as Ellis is oldish and slow, and he is probably just ahead of Drumond). Pulu is looking to make the Olympics at any rate.

As much as I hate the practice of it, it was reported in the Irish Times that they're scouring NZ for a scrum half who they can tie down to play for Ireland. If that's the case, Weber and Pulu are out.

And in this year's worst kept secret - Faletau to Bath confirmed

[Geordie]

At least they're under the wage cap ....honestly...

 

[Which Tyler]

I still don't really see how Bath were over the salary cap, unless they were overpaying some players.
As for next year - Faletau was already budgeted for this season; we lost Burgess, and there's a £1M increase in the cap coming - all adds up to a pretty penny.

Seems possible. There's been talk Cheika has said he wants him back for a shot at Aussie team.

 

[SWAGGER]

Bowden to Leicester Tigers. He has been allow to leave his contract early with the blues. Just a rumour on the leicester tigers forum. I for one would love him back and mauger could defiantly bring the best out of him. Never really given a chance to shine last time he was here.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Reckon he will be off to Nots nots.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Bowden is average, can't see why Tigers would particularly want him back.

What? He was great for us in his last season.

Became a real rock @ 12 for us as well which was a surprise I know a lot of other Tigers fans think that as well.

Average.
