Agreed, articles written on the internet by people who are unwilling to even put there name to them should be considered spurious at best and malicious at worst!

Gutted for White that he's not retiring in his own terms.

He's had a great career in Ireland won medals represented Ireland hope whatever he ends up doing is as successful!

Nathan will be missed, for many reasons. Scored the first competitive try of the Pat Lam era.



Should have had 13 on his back that day

Absolutely devastating news for Nathan, and a huge blow to Connacht as well.

Nathan was always one of my favourite players, I hope that he manages to make a go of things away from rugby. He'll be missed in the front row.

That's terrible news.

Massive servant for Connacht Rugby for his stay here, pretty much been involved with every international match since he was capped. Hate to see anyone go out like this.

Big big loss . That's a real shame. Quality wise Connacht have lost a lot, comparing to the squad last year. Making top six would be a great achievement now . Two big home games coming up.

Ah nuts that's very sad news for Connacht & Ireland. Damn Shame for White and the team.

Bullshit article with his only proof " I believe " ...... well what I believe from speaking to some people that have good connections within the IRFU is he is going to sign a central contract with Connacht ... but then thats what I have heard and I would not put much weight on what I have heard as what this gentleman has written .. so what I',m saying is to pass no need on nothing articles or hearsay!

Nathan White forced to retire

Maybe, but I'm not mentioning Griffen currently as a future Ireland centre star comparable to established names etc that rubbish blog was with regards to Scannell and that cork Barry guy already wrote a massive overated fan boy piece on him. I said Griffen was not in same category as Henshaw so we would be very weakened. Also Id be more likely to play him instead of Carty who is also in disastrous form but he has never been a reliable place kicker or even average and his tackling is also very weak if we lose Boshoff (hopefully he lives up to expectations) to injury we are in deep trouble at 10 for having to lose McGinty

Form wise. I wouldn't mind Rory Scannell partnering Bundee instead of Griffin right now to be honest.

Stinks of Brian Barry bull a Munster fan boy online sports writer with that site especially mentioning the highly overated (except in munster) Scannell

"However, I believe that the Kiwi does not intend to sign a new contract"

Sounds credible! Would he have brought his family over and enrolled his daughter in school if he was just to up and leave 8 months later?
He will negotiate and the IRFU will get involved but they should come to an agreement.

Ah, Pundit Arena, George Hook's retirement home. Not even once. I guess it's that time of year again, the nights are closing in, the leaves are falling, and the [strike]vultures[/strike] agents are gathering on the rooftops.

Well if a guy with a Westwalian accent shows up wearing a slightly knobbly Clan fleece with just a hint of steak and ale pie on it, ye all owe me a pint.
