I have my alarm set for the match tomorrow, we'll see how that works out! :S
Very excited about Clarke coming over, one thing though I'm not sure I would be happy with a brand new signing getting the captaincy, but if any new signing has shown he might deserve it it would be Clarke. If not him then I'd like to see White captain more next season he's one of our key players if not the key player.
Having been watching all the chiefs games this season and obviously keeping a close eye on Craig. Although he doesn’t call a lot of lineout balls to himself (Retallic is top line out jumper) and unlike Paul O’Connell doesn’t do a lot of ball carrying his work-rate is phenomenal. Does a lot of clearing put at rucks with a fair few turnovers. Great in organizing defence. Good leader and seems to have the referee in his pocket a lot of the time. No foul play or yellow cards. Very fit - has been playing full 90 mins for second half of season. Missed a few games mid-season with concussion.
Whoever wins tomorrow will likely win super15 trophy. Although Chiefs at home my money is on Crusaders. They are peaking at right time and Kieran Reid has been outstanding.
Although Craig will be getting a late start to the Connacht season he has only started 9 games this year came on as sub once. He had a 7 week break in march/april as had headaches following concussion and a four week break during the international series in may/june.
I looked around and didnt see any place i could stick this but anyone who is coming to Connacht and believes he can get Swifty's spot deserves his own thread.
Connacht's best signing (believed by most) and captain of his team take on the Crusaders at 8.35am tomorrow. Semi final and what a game thats going to be! Whoever wins this will most likely win the final.
I also think he will/should be connacht's captain next season.
