Best of luck to him. Great servant of Connacht.

2 years in the sun to finish off his career, if ever a lock was built for French rugby...

Interview with Ben Marshall on his past year, scary stuff - hopefully he gets a full recovery in time

Even worse

Fetu'u Vainikolo has been given a 1-year suspended prison sentence + 4000 euros fine for having broken a jaw in a bar-fight

Moral of the stories : it doesn't go well when you leave connacht (look at poor Mick Kearney playing with Leinster A again this week-end..)

That is terrible.

Mad to see this re Craig Clarke

Damian Browne to do solo Atlantic Row

Brilliant mad bastard

George played 80 mins today at 6 for Harlequins. Not great opposition but at least he is getting game time.

Very poor, 2 scrum penalties on his own put-in and a lazy high tackle to get yellowed.

Rodney is having a tough time of it in Belfast today.

Johnny O'Concrete joins Galway Utd as S&C Coach

Great for him, fast-track to pro refereeing
He should not be outsped by rugby out wide all over the place, when you know it's Dragons vs Embra

That's fantastic. Delighted for him.

Murray Kinsella mentioned on his "42 Rugby Show" that Fionn Carr will be playing for Ireland Sevens

I was listening to the eggchasers podcast yesterday. They were saying there's a strong rumour doing the rounds about George Ford joining Sale next year.

Outside the fact of , why would he want to join Sale (outside of the money). If he did join Sale, I wonder what would that mean for AJ. I would love to see him back in Ireland playing for any province really. But Connacht still have that NIQ fly-half spot taken with Boshoff. I would hate to see him only playing in the LV Cup, he's too good for that. Maybe he might join London Irish when their back in the premiership next year.

Of course this is all speculation and personally I would be surprised if Ford did joined Sale, but you never know.
