Unless it's Peter Nelson returning (can live in hope ) I'm wagering this fella fits the bill https://all.rugby/player/archie-griffin

Or Ben Griffin who played in the AIL final for Clontarf

bingo, will be training with Ulster in preseason in hopes of earning a contract afaik

Fair play. Hope it goes well for him if true. No local Academy THs then?

Scott Wilson won’t be any worse than Milo.

Scott Wilson and Cameron Doak I guess.

May as well- what's the point of the academy otherwise?

Madigan ? Addison ?

Santa I understand Shinnerboots will be player coach next season, in Ulster but not at Ulster.
Addison? What a player, what a disappointment. Surely too expensive per game to offer a new contract?

Shaws Bridge is the place to be I hear. Not the only Ian who is headed there either

Wow I always thought him MR I stand corrected King. Maybe I was thinking big Ryan C lol- but he's a hippy now..

Some positive comments about Kitshoff, sounds like the stormers could have brad pitt the bed like we did except for some good leadership.

"DHL Stormers coach John Dobson has admitted that he saw a lot of downside and even felt fear in the buildup to last week’s Vodacom United Rugby Championship quarterfinal against the Vodacom Bulls and needed help from skipper Steven Kitshoff to make him feel more positive.


Speaking in the buildup to Saturday’s URC semifinal against Connacht at the DHL Stadium, Dobson said that a lot of pressure had been released after the win over the Bulls and while he and his men are fired up to take the next step towards playing in a second successive final, there is also a lot less stress.

"I would say there is much less of a sense of dread and fear this week than there was last week, the buildup to the Bulls game was a very dread filled week,” said Dobson.

“Playing a playoff game against your arch rivals is always far tougher, it just felt like we had so much to lose. That we get to host this game, get to draw a crowd of more than 40 000 to a semifinal at home, is already a kind of win for us. So I would say there is less dread now and the occasion has more of a feel of opportunity about it.

“Last week I saw the downside the whole time and Kitsie did a great job of ensuring there was a mood of positivity in the camp,” he added

Stephen better keep quiet next season. It's Greg Jones' job to be good around the training paddock/babysit.

Our local rag saying we have signed James French for next season.

Good signing; big enough but I understood he was a loosehead.
