Rory Scholes got a mention on Connacht's injury update:

Deysel now has a neck injury? It started in his eye and then he couldn't feel his arm and now it's in his neck?

Maybe its really his finger and where he points to hurts

South Africans are soft as shyte.

McBurney to the rescue?

Anybody know if Trapper, BJ & Hotlips have turned up yet to tend to the wounded?

Did you know that the USA whilst keeping the peace in North Korea during the Korean War killed 10% of the population Not only that but they killed far more civilians than soldiers, presumably on the basis that the only good gook is a dead gook.

The Korean War was proportionately more deadly than either the WWs

Anyway, how is FOLK going to avoid playing Cave this week?

I expect a defeat.

[Tender]

Can’t help thinking we’ve a few bluffers on that injury list.
Then again, the prospect of starting away in the West, would have me ripping my toe nails off with pliers to get on the injured list.
Deysel has been almost as disappointing as SVDM and SVDM is worse than Rodders. We’re carrying way to much dead weight.

Cave doing this week's press conference so looks like his exile has been suspended.

It's all because Darren is getting his 200th cap.

I was talking to Jean Deysel few days ago and he told me he had recovered from his injury (trapped nerve in neck/shoulder) and would be playing this week.

Rob Lyttle going to get an appearance with the back 3 injuries?...looked a classy player last season, if physically not quite ready, to handle games week in week out.

Na sure we've Bowe and Trimble. Maybe Bryn fancies a game at fullback.

Feck - we had our most potent looking back 3 of the season so far on Friday night and then they all get injured in the same game

Gilly's ok - nathin to wurry about.

.... Means the will send the 2nd XV up to Belfast, this means nothing as their reserves have won at Ravenhill in the past.

You sure?


Was it not their thirds?
