Fingers crossed there's nothing in it. That said, Kieran owes us very little at this stage, he's paid his dues time and time again.

I see the Indo have it that Kieran is talking to Saracens about moving at the end of this season. Hopefully there's nothing in this, and with Saracens about to be penalised for persistent breaches of the Premiership salary cap as soon as England exit the RWC, then it isn't great timing on behalf of Kieran's agent!

Hopefully he stays and both he and Caolin together feature regularly in Irish squads under Andy Farrell, because let's face it Lukey McGrath isn't the future and Murray looks like he'll never be the player he was before his neck injury
