Ian Whitten is a centre though through and through, not a fair comparison against out and out wingers....

Take this with a pinch of salt, there hasn't been one iota of information from a verifiable source and looking at the profile of the Wikipedia updater it is someone who keeps adding speculation rather than fact to some profiles.

Ah..... I updated the Sinoti wiki profile and added 2 references for the claim! Just as I add references for any update I make, and remove un-referenced statements.

www.rugbymercato.it/2013/04/19/sinoti-passa-al-connacht/

I tracked it back to the earliest announcer and it is a credible rugby site. Also RTE announced it on game highlights for Zebre v Munster.

much involved on the Venditti try, too... Such a promising signing!

Anyway We're a bit over-filled for wingers and light for centres, I'd give gametime for Henshaw as 12, TOH as 15, and Sinoti as 13 if needed.

And scored another good try

watch 1min 23 confirmed that Sinoti Sinoti has signed

Not surprised he's staying to cover the youngfella ....ahem , in a manner of speaking

frank murphy is staying too

Would be interested to see the terms of his contract. I wonder if its a pay to play deal? He's slipped down a lot and will be fighting with POD for second position with Marcus Walsh and maybe Caolin Blade as well behind him.

Correct

Sad to see Matthew Jarvis going but probably the right move at this stage, disappointing for whatever reason he couldn't fulfil his potential here. Still only 22 with plenty of raw potential so I'm sure he'll be back playing in the Rabo or Aviva Premiership before long.

I'm confused

Junior = NZ "A"
Baby = U20

They're so special they don't use the common terms us lesser nations do

And the NZ Maori's are a Touring side with player's of Maori ethnicity.
