He was on fire

got him the Munster move probably

And it’s confirmed Rg Synman can’t start ahead of the Irish locks in European games.

So he’s basically on holidays again learning everything he needs to know about Munster and Leinster while arriving back to South Africa fresh as a daisy to win a World Cup.

Meanwhile all the other provinces are cutting their budgets left, right and centre.

Why so salty. It’s good to have him for Leinster and Irish rugby.

You’d be moaning if he didn’t have that contact clause. Leinster give up so much talent and time to the Irish system that it makes sense to have him for the Six Nations period in particular.

Congrats to Fua Leiofi Bundellu on his well-deserved renewal.

Not sure it’s the best course but good for Connacht Rugby overall. He sells tickets even though he barely plays!

He’s not our best 12 anymore with Forde delivering but he raises his game bigtime at Test level. Fantastic fitness compared to Ringrose and Henshaw who we can’t really rely on being fit at the same time.

Tim has an issue with bundee signing on but can’t see any issues with Synman.

Those two cunts in the indo now saying the loss of Ross moloney is the reason Leinsters lineout is falling apart.

You couldn’t script it with the SDM.

Maybe in the final this year Ramos should be blindfolded taking his kicks at goals.

I can see both ways on Aki. I didn’t think after the World Cup that a centre lasting at his age. He has endured though, and he is good for Connacht overall.

Not sure what that has to do with Snyman.

As we know Tim in every aspect of life you want absolutely everything tilted in your favour to try and further your own personal gain.

Some people actually believe in fairness. It’s a concept you’ll never fully understand.

Would he go around the pubs selling them?

Gibson park and aki retained on central contacts who didn’t come through the Irish system.

Peter o mahony who was captain at the time and came through the system :x:

Arguably no project player should be on a central contract.

Aki is an Irish citizen. You wanted POM dropped.

He still didn’t come through the Irish system so no reason why his club should benefit from a central contract.

Maybe it should be split four ways.

The project player system usually delivers about a fifth of Ireland’s international starting fifteen at any given time. That’s about one quarter as important as the south Dublin private schools player development system.

I’m not sure what your point is at all.

It’s a major part of Ireland’s player development system.

That has nothing to do with one province benefiting from it at all.

Munster have always maxed out their “project players” allocation.
