If true, we can suppose he didn't made 10000 miles just to play for Trinity.. It might prepare next season with a Pro team in the same country, which would need an outhalf...

It seems to be the same guy found the same clip on youtube

The Profile under reads:

Australian Rugby Union Player.

Currently playing for the Queanbeyan Whites and involved with the ACT Brumbies Academy.

Dual citizenship (Irish passport)

Judging by the highlights reel he looks the business but who can tell by highlight reels?

I thought so, how such a talented player could only barely be Leinster A?? But if he's the same guy I trust you and say :woohoo:
Has a real "flair"

homonym

?

his homonym is a great 10/12 for ACT Brumbies, better to target him!

Anyone know much about Sam Windsor who played in the Leinster A game today? He's an IQ Australian who played in the Colours match against Trinity last week and was meant to have being in an academy over in Oz. He's an outhalf so might be worth looking at.

Hopefully Itsphil can fill us in if this was the guy being looked at. I thought be a more experienced player but if he turned out to be another Heenan or Pooleman I wouldn't mind.

Was watching Blues Simon Hickey (age 20, Baby Blacks OH last season.) against Bulls yesterday. Started season as Blues 4th rank OH behind Benji Marshall Baden Kerr and Chris Noakes but has started last 2 games. Kicked well out of hand and 6/6 from tee.
If Lam was genuinely looking at OH in NZ recently then this kid could have been on the list. Product of Auckland/Blues stable.Heenan would know him from Auckland underage days.
Unfortunately his profile/value has just shot up in last 2 weeks.
Couldn't find any reference to his parentage/ grand-parentage.

Distant future option yes and good to see that we look farther dawn the line at the young guys. Cards close to the chest with recruitment of new players !! I'm sure it's not easy with how things were stirred up with the debacle over the European competition and in turn the domestic. Was delighted to read on here that Lam was down SH looking at a 10. Shows he has the interest and will to get the best for us. Hopefully the cash is made available.

Niyi Adeolukan, Trinity winger, according to the Irish Times he's been attracting our interest.

Saw that. Odd that we're after another winger but if this guy is a flyer and he seems to be then lets give him a year and see how he does.

For Noone It's more obvious as he posted his highlight video 6 days ago

He looks good but our track record in taking Leicester's cast-off's hasn't exactly being sterling. McAuley is still waiting for his senior debut and didn't we have another lad Gardner who was ex-Leicester?

I'm not saying he's bad no-one plays 8 times for the Tigers in the backrow without knowing their business but I wouldn't be running to sign him either.

Gossip partly based on contracts signed in the same position. For Noone It's more obvious as he posted his highlight video 6 days ago

I want him in the Connacht army!

Extra good news that all our props are signed up, as well. Otherwise there would be a danger that we'd end up looking at Mushy!
