Not changing one can be equally crazy...

Rumour is Gray is already in talks with Gloucester. He has a release clause in his contract if Sale get relegated. It was a stupid, stupid move in the first place and has been an absolute disaster for him. There was a good item on Sky Sports' The Rugby Club about Sale on Thursday night ... they're ...

Keep up the good work, lads.

The lad has oodles of skill, but tbh I don't think he'd suit Leinster. Much in the same way as Dev still doesn't seem to impress his critics in blue, even after improving his body position, clear outs, work rate and handling. Leinster's pack has always been revolved around big, aggressive TH locks ...

Like any walk of life, every player has a different personality and getting the best out of people involves managing individuals (Ferguson is the master). One style rarely suits everybody and there's no question that Carr's confidence has been shot. Pity because I think he's a cracking player on hi...

The last game against Wasps in England was the Twickenham one, right? I was at that one. Seems a long ould time ago.

Very decent post. Read it on PR earlier.

I think Dan Leavy might come straight into the senior squad on a development contract, a la Lukie. Just a hunch. Great player and all, but he's not anywhere close to being physically ready for the pro game. Be nice to have another Michaels 7 to take over from Gleeson, but give the lad at least two ...

Sounds fair tbh.

So do we know why he left...?

Agree with comment on Quinlans stuff - really enjoying reads and a different perspective on alot of topics. Read the indo online a bit but do avoid alot of their articles because its either by Farrelly or there's a strong tinge of red-tainted glasses and attraction to cousins Btw the tripe Matt Wil...

So what's wrong with Fitz, do we know yet?

Aw. I wanted a Michaels player in the side.

Any verdict on how Ruddock and Reid performed?

Worst news I've heard in a while. Hopefully he'll be happy in whatever he chooses to do.

I'd have preferred Nacewa at 10 tbh...

The Vermaas?

Canes and/or fully fit Spreys or Cardiff Blues.

perhaps Delon was just pissed off from the week before where when Danny Barnes missed a kick to touch Delon deicded to give it verbals and said - never going to make it as a pro son - Barnes just replied - how did the lions tour work out for you. Wow. Not sure whose the bigger bítch there. :p Kudos...

Will Stewart Maguire be Irish eligible? If not we should not be investing money in a player who will end up back in Wales in a few years time. With a name like that, he must be. The IRFU have done some stupid things but there's no way they'd be investing in him if he were NIQ. Dunno really. Lee Byr...
