Murphry's law applies to correcting typos.

The worry is that some people seem to think that's the right way to spell Connacht and that needs to be stamped out.

you did that on purpose right?

You could look up Murphry's law on teh Google's!

Ah very good

In fairness , under no circumstances would I ever consider buying a Munster shirt..... but I wouldn’t bother saying so on Twitter

Its like the time one of ROG's kids asked him if he could "teach him to kick like Johnny"

so Furlong and Worcester..

Anything concrete on that MI? Sounds a bit like agent kite flying

Should that happen I would hope the ban on Irish players abroad being picked for the national team be maintained. If there's one thing I can't stand it's cakeism.

It was thrown out on the Eggchasers podcast - but it came from the fact that Worcester flagged they planned to announce a prop this week and they were discussing who is around

[Blue not red blood]

Thst a difficult one to understand.
Relegation threatened club next year for sure.
If he was still involved with Ireland then he’s gone for Autumn and 6 Nations.
Is he really going to give up playing for Ireland?
The whole thing doesn’t add up

No relegation next year (at least).

Enough cash and it would add up - probably sees the next contract as the one that has to set him up.

I don't have a clue. Would be a surprise of course, don't listen to eggchasers so could be nothing.

Speculation was bound to happen given its nearly may and he hasn't signed.

[carlow man]

Very strange if that was considered a possibility. Any big money would surely lie in the south of france???

[carlow man]

Nothing on their fans forum apart from they think 2 signings are being announced soon enough

Maybe he’s always wanted to be coached by Jonathan Thomas.

A few mentions on this thread, mostly on the last page. Links in to their current first choice option Shonert leaving for Sale.

id imagine the IRFU/Irish management would have no problem in making an exception for him, selecting him for international duty while abroad.

No, he loves the sauce, as long as it's not on "orange spuds".

I’ve been told that furlongs contract with the IRFU is basically signed. Crossing the Ts and dotting the Is, it will be announced shortly

thats been the talk for awhile.. until it is announced there will be understandable nervousness..

Well I would. Any Irish players adding value to the Prem or the Top 14 and helping their clubs defeat our provinces in the ERCC have no place in the national team, IMO.
