Jarrad Butler is on the bench tomorrow for the Brumbies, sitting beside Christian Lealiifano, who's not letting the small matter of a leukaemia diagnosis make him miss a whole season. I'll give that one a watch. 10.35am Sky Sports 3.

You'd say I'm obsessed but if he comes that's great, the staff listened to me B)

A) big ball-carrier n°8
B ) would defo mean SOB is seen mainly as 2nd row

Another sign? O'Brien is listed as Lock not back-row, on the new official website


4) Roux/Thornbury/Cannon
5) DIllane/SOB/Browne
6) Masterson/Heenan/Kelly(SOB)
7) Dawai/Butler/Connolly
8 ) McKeon/Muldoon/Fox

That's well-balenced!!! :D

Getting in another back row would frankly be a bit bizzare.

Strong rumour saying Harley Fox is coming from Rebels...
I know it'd be nice to enlist a 21 y.o project-player as we're preparing after-Muldoon,
But still, would be weird to bring another back-row...

Just a thought I've had; with the now almost certain expansion of the league signings might be delayed as teams will see a sudden windfall in their finances. Maybe we're keeping our powder dry and looking to sign one or two more high profile/expensive players?

We can hope anyway

Going back to Boshoff I think it would be a real shame if he left without giving it a real go. I appreciate he's had dire luck since he's come to Galway but didn't Bundee have a slow start as well before he came good. Losing Boshoff so close to the new season would be a disaster. Even with the cryptic Instagram stuff I choose to believe he will stay to make good on his abilities.

Come to think of it maybe he's waiting on the league situation with the SA teams joining - he's guaranteed at least one trip home each year which might help any homesickness issues.

Bazoo seems right.
anyway we just can't lose more than 2 lineouts out of 10. 1 could already have big consequences, like a lost scrum. Big improvement needed.
