True but maybe in a player/coach capacity? Probably wistful thinking. I'm sure he has a line of suitors in France looking for his signature.

It'd be great to have Bruce back in some capacity for sure, probably our best ever foreign recruit. But from a rugby point of view he has huge mileage on the clock. Barely missed a half dozen games for us and an ever present for Grenoble in his first three seasons....

Would love to have him back even at 34. He's IQ, a former captain and great player. Someone tell Pat!

Stewart Maguire will be with London Scottish next season

RS Massey , the Paris-based club where Niall O'Brien plays, has qualified for the Fed One play offs in France after topping their pool. It's a long process and the final won't be until 7 June!

Montauban, who look unbeatable, are in the other half of the draw so they cannot meet until the final (the two finalists are promoted to Pro2). Both clubs are fully professional unlike most of the other sides at that grade.

Tj Anderson - 10 starts + 2 subs = 873 mins. 1 TRY

E Grace - 7 starts + 2 subs = 497 mins. 2 TRYS
(Subbed round 7, at 38mins. out for 5 games, started round 13, 52mins and didnt play again till round 17. ie missed half the season played).

M McCrea - 16 starts + 1 sub = 1296 mins. 5 TRYS. 1 YELLOW

NOC - 14 starts + 1 sub = 1084 mins. 125 points.

M Jarvis - 15 starts + 2 subs = 1245 mins. 166 points.

Thank god i'll be hungover tomorrow to even consider doing what i did to get that information.

i know its not high level but yesterday saw second from bottom jersey take on ealing.
mark mccrea scored 2 trys in a 25-23 loss away where tj anderson came on for last 5mins for ealing.
niall o connor again wasnt in the match squad although he did play 3 weeks ago coming on early in the second half, he wasnt the kicker that day.

Mark McCrea & NOC --Jersey
TJ Anderson--Ealing Trailfinders RFC
Eoghan Grace--Plymouth RFC
Matthew Jarvis--Nottingham RFC

its hard to judge players from not seeing them but neither team seem to be doing well.
plymouth 7th, 34 points from the top, to be fair i think Grace has been playing well and even scored a try in his last game. not surprisingly he was injured during the season.

nothingham are 10th and i do believe jarvis is having good games at outhalf. again i cant really judge, hard to say but if you have a firing outhalf and team is not winning then its usually the other players fault

not much to say about jersey or ealing, second bottom and bottom. i believe mccrea signed a 18month contract when he left us so interesting if he stays. ive always thought he was better then he was given chance here

I see Fetu Vainikolo started for Exeter in their LV Cup final victory over Northampton. Delighted for Exeter. Its not the most glamorous competition but good to see one of the non-traditional teams pick up a trophy.

Watching the Women 6 Nations and see that Peter Bracken is the forwards coach again this year.

Fetu scored a great try for Exeter at weekend. Highlights on itv4 at midnight AFAIK.

Official : Reynecke will be released by Pau at the end of the season

Matt Mostyn is back in Sydney and is working for a real estate company over there according to the Sunday Times.

I have on my list as he is retired
No matter how much I Google there is no new updates about him.

August the year he left, few senior players i asked didn't have a clue what happened to him. They didn't know where he moved to, was he retired or what. They guessed he hung up the boots

I usually see pat lam after games so I'll ask. Eric stands next to me so I'll ask him to

You're not the first to ask, Ray was on of our best ever signings in my book but went completely off the radar after he finished here. If anyone knows where he is its probably Pat Lam, with his contacts in Samoa.

Thanks for that folks, I knew about the LI Ofisa Treviranus already and that he was previously on our books.
Ray (born 1980) is 4 years older than Trev.Couldn't find anything about Ray after he left us, thought someone might know something.
