Gosh I am
lots of skepitics on board.ie, never played pro rugby at 27 etc.
But we don't ask him to be player of the year. We ask him to put opponent forwards on their arses, gain ground, and offload sometime.
Naoupu 2.0
Our squad needed that profile
J.O'Connor has S&C work to do for his conditionning (he doesn't last a full-game), otherwise I'm really optimistic he brings something special for us : Beast-style

Does he have a year left on his contract with Munster? Could be the cleanest way to get him up here this season. Otherwise would Munster need to release him from his contract, which might be messier. I would read anything into a loan, and it having any impact on how the outside world see's us

If that's one of our two signings you'd hope the second is a big ball carrier in the pack, even with that next season is looking incredibly tough (smaller squad, less quality, possibly condensed season), without that I could see us dropping down to the bottom of the league as on paper we're a step above Zebre and Kings, about on par with Cheetahs, but behind the rest of the squads in the league

Wootton signs on a year long loan. Hopefully goes in the same as the majority of other loan signings
