He signed a 1 year deal last summer. Does anyone know if thats been extended

I miss Carr and Hagan

I see Fionn is on the bench for tonights game.
I wonder are either of them actually happy with their moves? Maybe the prestige of playing for the European Champions outweighs the want to play each week.

Imagine have a proper choice for pros and wingers each week

Niva played for Counties Manukau after leaving us, don't know if he was retained for 2012.

Andy Dunne is still coaching/playing in the AIL.

Bent is Irish qualified.

fingers crossed jamie hagan is not to injured and will be playing again soon. looked like he was in pain. get well soon

Sad news, was a great servant for Ireland, Munster and showed the way at Conancht for other players, he left Connacht a much improved player from when he came, still had to wait too long for the breakthrough at Munster though which is a recurring theme in this country.

A great player. His memory is slightly tarnished for me because of all the times DK picked him when he was unfit or hadn't played a game yet still went straight into the starting XV but that's not the players fault its the coaches.

I'd actually like him to go down the coaching route. Some lads I know were at Galwegians when he was up in Connacht and he did a few sessions with the younger lads (them). They raved about how good his coaching was when it came to line-outs and set pieces. Wouldn't be surprised to see him at some AIL club's coaching staff in the near future.

Sad news - a great player. The last couple of years must have been especially hard, coming back from injury only to break down again straight away. As far as I can tell without actually knowing him personally, he seems like a sound man, so I'm sure he'll make a few quid in the media if he chooses to go down that path.
