Could you add the link? Couldn't find it anywhere on their website.

Disgusted after all the work that was put into him. During his first season here if you told me he was a future international I would have laughed in your face.

The delay could actually be the fact the lad had a broken hand and may not actually be able to physically sign a contract.

I don't expect Henshaw to stay at all but there are efforts to keep him, led by Willie Ruane. As far as I know these efforts are ongoing but as I said I don't expect them to be successful. I have no idea what the delay in the announcement is though. It's strange given that Henshaw himself said he wanted it sorted by Christmas.

If he stays, that's the pathway for equal funding, equal recognition. Would be great but....

I find that hard to believe. Don't suppose you have any inside information? (any little crumb of hope that you could throw me at all?)

Very defeatist on Henshaw Connachta. No decision made yet.

That's awfuf news. AhYou possibly off, no more Moore, Henshaw to East for compensation (Madigan, Te'o)... Except if we poach Ringrose/Reid, and a good TH NIQ prop.

Moore's leaving has bought Ross a one year contract at Leinster, so that's another rumour put to bed.

Better drop Henshaw in ahead of Ringrose quickly to make up for the loss of Madigan and Moore.

Great news for John, A great servant to Connacht rugby and a gent. He had a dip in form maybe two years ago but he has been outstanding this year.
Some miles on the clock for a backrow.
