Shame about Chisholm, I thought he'd be a great signing, sadly more like poor Christian Cullen, the greatest signing in the early days of NIQs that just didn't work through injury.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

At this rate we will have more South Africans in the country than Irish people. Close the fecking borders. Irexit here we come. :D :D
G'wan. You know it makes sense. :thumleft: :thumleft:
Time for another (Irish) border poll .....

Wonder is he the 2nd rower Ulster had lined up to replace Franco only for Nucifora to say No.

Munster rumoured to be losing u20 tight head Ben Betts. He was good at the u20 world cup. Bit of a blow if Leicester pinch him.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Other reports are that Munster offered him an academy spot at €8K and Leicester offered him a spot at £20K per year. If he turns out to be any good, he will be back (if he wants Ireland caps), so it should work out very well for everyone concerned.

Munster with a smash and grab try X2 are holding on well enough in a poorish game.
Zebo off and the git Liam Williams looking up for it.
