Transfers rumours

[dullonien]

You can take Eli Walker instead! No, really please take him!

Walkers not that bad, he's just taking some time to adjust to regional rugby, just as many players before him have. Not sure he's going to be as good as I first thought, but I still think he'll make a good regional winger when he gains some confidence at this level.

Leinster have been linked with Leeds Carnegie second row Tom Denton.

I've never heard of him but he's Irish qualified through his mother, is 24 and fills a gap in the Leinster squad. Second row is the one area Leinster have had trouble producing players recently. Last year they signed Steven Sykes to fill the role but he was a disaster and they also held a recruiting drive for young players over 6'6" tall from other sports only a few months ago.

I posted it in "rumours" since a google news search delivered no other sources.

Belisario Agulla has signed on for two more years with Agen.

not an exciting signing but probably a decent one, he has been first choice lock for Leeds for the past two seasons so should be a more experienced option rather than Ruddock or Flanagan if Devin Toner or Leo Cullen get injured or international called next season

at best he could turn out to be a Dan Tuohy, at worst a Damien Browne

George Ford to Toulouse.

Craig Gilroy is apparently being lined up by Racing Metro.

 

[SelimNiai]

Dan Biggar to B**h

George Ford to Toulouse.

I've heard they're also negotiating with James Hook, with Beauxis going in the opposite direction.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Ronan O'Gara ---> Toulon

Money well spent.

 

[Draggs]

Blair and Beauxis would be a wonderful halfback pairing (to watch!).

Biggar wants to stay in Wales for one more season at least, to try and make the squad.

George Ford recently re-signed for Leicester, didn't he?
Or was that just talk of "he's in talks to renew"?

Yup, but doesn't say how long for.

Craig Gilroy is apparently being lined up by Racing Metro.

Source?

While I can't be certain, I am fairly sure he is contracted to Ulster for next season already, as we moved him onto a new pro contract at the start of this season, and if its only one season I'd be more than a tad surprised.

I have a source that would beg to differ:

Can 100% say ROG isn't going anywhere.

Has only recently signed a new IRFU deal and well to finish his career abroad means he'd be down alot of €€€€.
Let's not forget any Irish players that finish their career in Ireland get massive tax breaks.
