    Players usually get a 3-4 week break from the end of their season. Dragons season finished up on the 28th of April so they'd have had a month and a bit off.

    Most pros I know would measure it in terms of number of weeks before the first game, not from their last. This is definitely early for Dragons but they've a lot of work to do

    They have had a major overhaul of the squad too.

    Us mere mortals are unable to comprehend the approach of visionaries like Bernard Jackman and Michael Bradley.

    Bernard Jackman is flying out to Australia Friday and hooking up with the Irish squad, talks of him contributing to scrum and hooker duties.

    I think in Ireland it is usually the end of June for those not on summer tours and then the others would get filtered in gradually in July.

    Shows professional season is pretty much year round.
