Transfers rumours

Really don't rate Beirne much higher than O'Shea, Madigan or the like. Would like to see Dave O'Callaghan shifted if possible. He can play there and has the needed aggression. Serious wheels on him for a big man too. Wouldn't mind Beirne as a guy to have in the squad, could surprise me.
 
Being honest I think Dave O'Callaghan will be a lock in 23 next year myself. A serious engine and mature
 
Spoke with Jean Deysel today proper for first time. He's hoping to secure a contract in Europe bext year and possibly with us. He may be replacing Donnacha Ryan

Any more Rassie developments? I need to know in advance so I can have the tattoo of his face removed from my arse on time.
 
If Mike Ford gets the job I'm going on dirty protest.
 
Last I heard

Rassie --> SA
Mike Ford --> Munster

Rassie looks like he is done. Ford isn't in contention. Nienebar is favourite with Ger Smal coming in.
Also the other alternative mentioned is our Bandon Frenchman
 
Been told that Mike Ford is on the plane to Limerick to have an interview.

He will then met with The Alpha Bro in France to get his blessing by which time the club will announce Mike Ford as Head Coach.

(Munster are keen to recreate the Leinster and Lancaster thing and wants to hire another fail England coach)

No chance of Ford. Rumours have it that he is going to Bayonne or joining Cockers at Edinburgh.

Any coach we bring in will be a forwards guy too.
Seems it's between Smal and Sonnes

Aye, meeting set for next week to be conducted in broken French which he has agreed to coach Munster with exclusively. Any player showing signs of fluency will have their contract terminated.

You fail English, that's unpossible,

Word on the street is that Andy Robinson is the back up plan...
 
Oh **** off you big ginger.

Heard Mike Ford --> DOR, Andy Robinson --> Forwards and Head Coach.

Neil Back also joining as Defence coach I have been told.

Is that at Tigers. Neil Doak, Andy Robinson, Ford (obviously to babysit) and Matt O'Connor guiding the ship
 
TRP Rumours
Faf de Klerk ---> Sale
Jono Ross --> Sale (Magnus Lund leaving)
Morne Steyn --> Worcs
Elton Janjties --> Wors
Oli Bryant --> Worcs (Tom Hardwick getting promoted at Tigers)
Matt Hopper --> Oyonnax
John Mitchell --> Irish head coach.
Juan de Jongh --> Wasps

Some big names being linked.

Don't understand Diamonds back row obession considering he has two of the best young flankers coming up (Nott maybe making it 3) why not put that cap in the areas sale desperately need to improve, (Front Row and 10).

Can't really imagine Faf or Jantjies leaving the lions, yet again I guess the pound looks good compared to rand and with Ackermann leaving the lions it could start some of the players leaving.

No disrespect to Sale either but really can't see them signing Faf I'd imagine he'd go to a top European club? The top 14 sounds more realistic or even Wasps sounds more realistic
 
Maggie was always going to retire at Biarritz from what I've heard, so no shock there.

Agreed we don't need a backrower. We've been short (no pun intended) at 2nd row for as long as I can remember but we never seem to look to rectify it (bar the failed signing of Kruger)
