Wish you well in your future jerry. Thanks for the memories.

i know you will be back involved somewhere before long.

Very sad for him. Best lineout thrower I've seen...

sad to see this, same happened with us with matthews

As you say not unexpected, but very dissapointing all the same. Never gave anything less than 100% in either Green jersey.

And anyone that squares up to Steve Thompson and calls him a fat cnut is ok in my book....



A chap who like to do it "his way"

Yeah, just looks like a Superman-wears-Brad-Thorn-pyjamas gag to me. If Swift4Prez wants to take issue with his spelling though, that would be another thing. ;o)

Your looking for stuff that's not there swift. That's harmless

tweet by sean croinin
i think this tweet is disrepected to connacht, 'handed off 10' more so than the rest.

Its true , Brad thorn kicked off in the A game 2day, he caught de kick off,handed off 10,scored in d corner nd den back heeled d conversion

sean has done well since leaving us, no surprise there, would be interest what would happen if flannery was fit

Figured it would happen. If we had HEC qualification in our own control we may have been able to make a meaningful offer. Would have bolstered our midfield option and take some pressure off young McSharry...

Munster confirm Downey switch

Thu, Feb 02, 2012

Rugby: Munster confirmed today that Northampton Saints centre James Downey will be joining them at the end of the current season on a two year contract.

The 30 year, who previous played with the province for one season (2006-2007) moved to the Saints from Munster and now has agreed to make the return journey. He was highly regarded at Franklin’s Gardens, making 135 appearances and scoring 12 tries.

A Churchill Cup winner with Ireland in June 2009 he began his career in Leinster before moving to Connacht for two seasons and now returns to Munster on a two year contract. Coach Tony McGahan enthused: “James is a quality player who has been on our radar for some time now.

“We’ve seen at first hand, on several occasion in recent times in the Heineken Cup exactly what he has to offer and believe that his style and his attitude can only enhance our squad.”

James Downey out of contract at end of season, talk of munster.

Samoan international loose forward Ezra Taylor will miss the rest of the Aviva Premiership season after suffering a serious knee injury in his Worcester debut.

He lasted 2 mins huh? You gotta feel for Worcester that's bad luck even by our standards.

They are gone, that's all there is to it. I'm still happy to see them do well as I was a big fan when they were with us, particularly Hagan.

Carr, Cronin and Hagan all scored tries tonight. Nice to see.

Cillian Willis doing well in his retirement I see, got a try for Sale today in the Challenge Cup, seems to be doing pretty well there, was a bit underutilised last season I feel but then again had his injury problems.
