Agree his ITM season hasn't been inspirational but doubt if he'll be released early. Mathematically they can still qualify for playoffs but highly unlikely. Otherwise his last game is Oct12th - less than 3 weeks away.
Although a little further up table Auckland's Tom McCartney is also unlikely to feature in playoffs. He's been playing 90 mins for most of the games. He played very little Super rugby this year - Played in the Singapore 10's tournament in June. - so his season hasn't as long as Bundees.

i watched the game at the weekend, he definitely played like he had his eye on the plane to Ireland, i.e was'nt going full speed in attack or defence apart from the short video clip. His right leg was heavily strapped for the game, hopefully that's just precautionary. I would'nt be surprise if he had been released already.

Counties Manakau are not in contention for the semi final in ITM cup for the moment

look at the last tackle he made this week (2:45 of the video)

You bet your backside it does. All contracts are actually with the IRFU rather than the individual branch.


They can't stop anyone playing international though. Not even Mourad Boudjellal can do that.

Getting a bit ahead of yourself there? I know he had a good game at the weekend but he would still be behind Glasgow's Al Kellock, Johnny Gray, Tim Swinson and after that utility options like Rob Harley, Josh Strauss and possibly by the six nations the up and coming Andy Redmayne.

Of course if Muldowney can put in another impressive performance at the coming weekend and keep any and all of the above quiet, then he could become of interest to the Scots.

We did actually have prop Fabien Boiroux about 10 years ago. I think he came from Montferrand at the time.

Anyway, whatever the precise day, the main point is : YES he can be selected for November tests :woohoo: That's what you implied, no?


Yep. You'd hope to see him in the Wolfhounds squad at the very least.

Given the perception that many French players are not getting good game time due to the amount of expensive imports in France, I am surprised that there are virtually no French in the Pro 12 (I may stand corrected).

While, not the same lifestyle, bonds between Ireland and France are reasonably strong. I wonder are there any potential French players, either on the way up or on the way down that could play a role in Connacht, especially in the forwards?

I added it to the links on the hompage. That weblink submission thing isn't actually working for most people at the minute but I'll try and sort it.
