Rumour Mill

[Pendragon]

Ireland need Irish qualified players playing first team rugby at 13 as as many provinces as possible and at as high a level before RWC.

Signing an NIQ 13 wouldn't make sense for them pre-RWC.

Should not be a problem for Jesus, Heaslip was born in Isreal!

In a stable?

Probably more likely a brick shithouse!

Club captain who, according to the Chiefs site, has played joined most amount of times this year.

At least last season he was on the bench a lot.

Think he was injured a good bit last year.

Good player, could be a shrewd signing.

Sunday Times saying Leinster linked with Kane Douglas.

Sunday Times saying Leinster linked with Kane Douglas.

Their source is probably this thread though...

[Ruckedtobits]

Says a lot more than linked, it says he has signed for 2 years and quotes Australian sources that he will not be considered by McKenzie for RWC2015.

Now that's the sort of quality signing that we should have more of. However, it will be very difficult to prise a centre from NZ or OZ until after World Cup.

Also heard suggestion at Ravenhill game that some Irish province is talking to an NZ under-age captain who plays centre....any ideas?

New South Wales Waratahs and Australian Wallabies

Douglas debuted for the Waratahs against the Queensland Reds in 2010 off the bench due to form he showed in pre-season trials. He immediately forced his way into the starting side and has missed just four games since, two of those due to the suspension. In 2012 he received his first Australian Wallabies cap against Argentina.
Family

Douglas is the middle son (of three) of Archibald and Trish Douglas. His older brother, Luke Douglas is an Australian professional rugby league footballer. Younger brother Jake plays in England for the Yorkshire side Driffield RUFC.[3]

Kane Douglas? tbh I would be more impressed if we signed the Pretoria Scud, we need some heft and explosiveness at the breakdown, does Douglas provide that? Douglas is a very good player but Toner has come on leaps and bounds and runs the lineout, we need a proper foil for him, Douglas just seems like a better more rounded version of Toner, although you can never have enough good players, so its a good signing either way.
