Very poor, 2 scrum penalties on his own put-in and a lazy high tackle to get yellowed.

George played 80 mins today at 6 for Harlequins. Not great opposition but at least he is getting game time.

Even worse

Fetu'u Vainikolo has been given a 1-year suspended prison sentence + 4000 euros fine for having broken a jaw in a bar-fight

Moral of the stories : it doesn't go well when you leave connacht :p (look at poor Mick Kearney playing with Leinster A again this week-end..)

Mike McCarthy off to Narbonne.

2 years in the sun to finish off his career, if ever a lock was built for French rugby...

The younger model for sure, but I'd be worried about the player that's left. Taken and given an awful lot of heavy hits over the years.
But wish him all the best, big character, will certainly add to any squad....

Delighted for Macca. If ever there was an ex-Connacht player who deserves a nice pay day, he's one of them.
When can we get him in the Clan Hall Of Fame?

@ConnachtCows - Always looking for new followers :)

Good luck to Mike.

He'll do well to get paid at all in Narbonne: they have one of the smallest budgets, and the lowest payroll, in ProD2 and are in regular bother with DNACG (the regulator). They avoided administrative relegation last summer following an appeal and a last minute whip-around among the well-healed locals (thanks to Gerard Bertrand)! Still, its a nice place to live!

good to see Fionn Carr still enjoying his rugby this season, he's been a star for Naas this season with 7 tries

Still one of my favourite Connacht players. Pity he didn't get a contract in England or even France. Maybe he didn't want to.

According to google translate it appears that Michael Bradley is to take over the helm at Zebra. www.onrugby.it/2017/03/16/zebre-rugby-e-...prossimo-allenatore/
