Don't be too specific there. It is an anonymous internet forum after all.

ioane heard about this today, but I hope ror gets to digby deep down to the bottom of this and let us know if there's any truth to it.

I'm not saying the player was definitely Ioane Digby, but it very may well have been in fact Ioane Digby

We have been in talks with many top class backline players this year, including Adam Ashley Cooper and Drew Mitchell [for quite extended periods]. Talking to players isn't signing them, unfortunately!

No. But it does signify that we are still looking.

There is 0% chance of the IRFU sanctioning 4 NIE backs at Leinster next season. It's already pretty embarrassing that you were allowed 3.

Of course we will. Sure haven't donated all ours to Munster. AND created loads of forwards.

We have 2 NIE outside backs, with one of those retiring.

Do the math.

Fact: Of your 6 frontline front-rowers only 1 is from Leinster. 2 being from Munster, 2 from RSA and 1 from NZ.

Well done... :clap: ...The dog in your avatar may now have a biscuit. :lol:

My point is that Munster are no strangers to importing rafts of backs. What will you have on the books next year? Five of ours? Two of whom were complete rejects in fairness, another one via Connacht, and two poached (even contract breaking - insert whatever smiley demonstrates shamelessness here) and a couple of others from abroad. Add to that the fact that you now are having to bolster your pack with Johnny Foreigner, and indeed broke the rules to do so creating a loophole whereby Ulster were allowed sign a new tighthead...

We could go on, but Munster are simply not in a position to throw stones.

Truth is, none of the provinces are as it happens.

And there I was thinking Warwick, Mafi, Howlett and Tuitupou were foreign when they were all in the Munster match day squad for a season.
