Horwitz due to arrive beginning of July

Yup Bundee will be missed but hopefully Kyle Godwin will go some way to filling the void.

Does anybody know when Godwin/Horwitz arrive in Galway? Is Andy Friend in Galway? Judging by Twitter he still seems to be in Oz...

Really happy for Bundee but unfortunately we're probably going to see less and less of him in Connacht green for the next 18-24 months.

Great to see Bundee put in a great shift in the series victory in Australia at the weekend. Well done that man.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Bundee and Robbie Henshaw mix and match in the 12/13 channels for this game. It's a pity in many ways Ringrose isn't fit to start as would love to see him in concert with Bundee again. That might also have given an opportunity to see Henshaw at 15.

I feel Henshaw has gotten heavier, slower and less imaginitive in his play. May be injuries, may be system but I don't think he'd be an option at 15 anymore

To be honest I doubt Henshaw could play 15 these days. He barely seems able to play 13. It's a crying shame but any creativity he had seems to have been well and truly beat out of him, hopefully he proves me wrong this weekend. If not I'd say Aki/Ringrose could easily be our strongest midfield.

Joe has always been pretty quick to cap players who are dual qualified and lock them down with Ireland, doesn't mean a lot in terms of his long term plans.

That would be 9 hours flight down the road - like from here to Dubai and then some

Tis all relative.

Kilcoyne was down the road in Thailand on holidays.

Kilkoyne stepped in aswell for training

What about poor Bealham? He's on holliers down there too. #JusticeForTheGeographyOne

The obvious thing to do if you're on the fringes of the squad is to amazingly be on holidays in the same location that the tour is taking place

Will Addison training with Ireland.
Pile of b#$$@/ks.

If I was playing in Ireland for the last 3 to 4 years and was just outside the Irish camp I would really be pissed.
