Rumours that Johnny O'Connor has got a strength and conditioning job at Arsenal FC and that Flavs has got a coaching job at a Dublin school ? Castleknock. Great for these guys if true.

How the hell did you come across that?! Also John O'Sullivan Agen & Munster is now retired from Pro Rugby.

Google translate is rather charming (love the last line):

Former Griffons, Lions, Stormers, Saracens and now Connacht hooker Ethienne Reyneke include him with AJ le Roux for the Currie Cup with the Cheetahs.

The Cheetahs will for most of the tournament to get along without their Springbok captain Adriaan Strauss while Torsten van Jaarsveld for cruciate ligaments will play again this season.

Reynecke learned his rugby for the Lions and there and later at Saracens respectively played Willie Wepener and Schalk Brits.

With his mobility, he should like a glove fit the Cheetahs and is of him as the number one hooker to establish in Strauss's absence. And he is yet in a position to which he used to.

The Free State, former Bokstut Wiaan du Preez's services for the Currie acquired for losing Coenie Oosthuizen to compensate for the national team.

Sharks wing and center Piet Lindeque is also heading back to Bloemfontein and can depth between driekwarte provided.

* This is apparently tall tales that Marco Wentzel also report to the Cheetahs.

Ethienne Reyneke is gone back to south africa and has joined Free State Cheetahs.

I have set up a twitter page to follow and ask former players for information.

Dermot O Suillivan was nice enough to get back to me

Hey, spent a season with C.A. Périgueux and two with F.C. Grenoble in ProD2. Retired from pro there. Returned to Kerry after


Then played mun jun 1 with homeclub tralee for a few yrs. played with Munster juniors. Backs coach with Munster juniors for last two yrs

Running a resto in Killarney for last 5 yrs 'Der O'Sullivans' on Main Street. Best of luck & Thanks

He is a Pretoria between 1997 and 2000 for the Waterkloof High School's first team. Afterwards he played professional rugby for a number of local teams like the Bulls, Sharks, Hawks and Griquas. he in 2008 and 2009 for Saracens in London played, but in 2010 returned to him by the Griquas to join. This was in 2009 in London where he had the opportunity to join the group Right Said Fred song Stand Up (For the Champions). "Saracens chief executive Edward Griffiths, the manager of Right Said Fred, Mike Andrews, are good friends. "When Edward heard Right Said Fred is going to record the song, he suggested that the Saracens prop sing along. So I ended up in the studio. " Venter was last year involved in the coaching of a school team, but is so busy with his singing career that he did not get more time for the rugby field.

Great work Swifty, very interesting reading

Fetu'u scoreed the two Tongian tries this morming... He just runs with the ball, though. I think Pat is right when he says we have enough speed (Carr, Poolman, Henshaw) and we need consistency (So'oialo rather than Fetu'u or Sinoti).

I can help you with a few of these:
Jamie Stephens with to the US, Joe Merrigan to Coventry then finished up in the AIL (now retired), Andy Dunne and Colm Rigney went the AIL player/coach role, think Rigney's no longer playing. Dave Slemen retired 2 years ago (was playing for Esher). And when Conor McLoughlin left that wasa premature retirement due to injury, obviously he wasn't released.

summer of 69

bryan adams

Mogliano, there in the final of the italian league, that kick was from saturday in the semi final of the play off, won 18-8.
he has gotten a few man of the matches and also ran in 2 trys a few times too.

i remember him kicking one evening from half way into the wind, most of been nikora our out half, he didnt connect at all with the ball and wasnt anywhere close.
i think he used to kick for connamara rfc when he came to ireland

Troy Nathan was tweeting about kicking duties. Included a youtube link:



Don't remember him ever kicking for us but he got some distance on that one! Who is he playing for anyway?
