Will be very interesting who they get, Nigel Carolan fancy a return ?

Perhaps a promotion in Connacht for Mark Sexton? At least whoever comes in can bring their own lieutenants

Mark Sexton is been talked up so he seems the next most likely candidate.

[The Doc]

Agreed. Might let the new guy coming in a chance to put his own stamp on it but Senekal is a loss.

Pat Lam for a big homecoming after he gets canned from Bristol?

Noel McNamara ?

Noel McNamara ?

Would be a fantastic coup to get him in and give him the gig ! However reports are he’s Top 14 bound

[sunshiner1]

Apparently John Muldoon is coming back in some capacity. No idea which. He's currently the forwards coach at Bristol afaik.

Kieran Marmion is allegedly off abroad next year. Don't know where.

Saracens?

[sunshiner1]

Not sure. They offered before so wouldn't be to surprised if he ended up there.

Big loss but can't blame him. I can't think of a player with better form leaving Connacht since Colby Fainga’a. I find it strange that Farrell has shown no interest in him, and I guess international honours were the motivation for his decision to stay last time even in the face of the offer form Saracens.

They have just signed a scrummie from Western Force for info.

Not strictly true @neil_m. When Bundee's Central Contract was announced by IRFU, they indicated that his contract was associated with Connacht until end season 2024. To date, since their introduction, no centrally contracted player has changed allegiance. Nucifora would be the decision maker in this, not Bundee, so based on his (DN) track record, anything is possible.

Connacht score numerous tries against Zebre. Clock up a cricket score and still nearly manage to lose the game. Can't wait for Friend to go now.

Jack McGrath was on a central contract when he moved to Ulster

Player and IRFU would be decision makers. It's not plausible that the IRFU could move a player against their will mid contract. It's unlikely they have it in the contracts.

Will we get news of the new Connacht coaching team this week ?

Seems Peter Wilkins as the head guy supported by Muldoon and Mark sexton is the most likely at the moment

3 years as DOR for Pete Wilkins.

Head coach, the DoR role is being retired. Despite the histrionics of my fellow Connacht supporters online, I am cautiously optimistic, pending the announcement of the rest of the ticket.
