Presumably the out half exception for Ireland selection that applied when Jonny Sexton was at Racing will also be applied here and Paddy will be eligible for Ireland selection when he moves to Clermont?
Ah yea, I presume so, I mean I canât think for the life of me of any reason why it wouldnât.
Clermont is the home of Michelin tyres. Hopefully âPaddyâ will have a more plentiful supply of rubber available to him during his time there than he did in Belfast.
Is Alan partridge your hero?
No. Is he yours? Because youâre doing a very good job of impersonating him.
Ah haaaa
IRFU ended up paying value if their contract anyway so paying them for the season and letting them cool their heels was an option that was worst outcome for the players.
Jackson will need to tread warily in France.
Getting to play international rugby likely a bridgestone too far
Heâll be hoping for some goodyears during his continental sojourn.
It seems his victory in court has turned out to be some what pirellic.
Ah haaaaaa
âPaddyâ is more likely to receive hub caps rather than international caps in France.
Paddyâs career has had a blow out in more ways than one.
He hasnât been having a goodyear
Youâre wearing out the threads
He needs to remould himself.
