    According to the Galway Independent today, Mark McHugh is off to Montpellier. Sad to see him go but he hasn't been the same at all since he did his cruciate at the start of the 05/06 season, never seemed to have the same strength in a tackle or pace.

    By all accounts Connacht have pretty much signed Ray Ofisa's brother Trev who's apparently a 6'4" winger with plenty of pace. If he's anything like his brother he'll be a great acquisition.
