If I remember correctly he's only early 30s, and on the low side as well. Think he was late 20s when he signed for Connacht a couple of years ago.

Rowland is 30 I think

Garryowen have signed Corrie Barratt (prop) from Banbridge, was in Ulster Academy for a bit i think. Heard from a few limerick lads that Bailey Faloon signed for Shannon before June 1st Deadline but changed his mind - now IRFU are saying he has to play with shannon even do he is training away with garryowen

Whats the June 1st deadline? Most transfers wouldn’t be done until well after that, into August/September etc

all clubs have to submit a list of players before June 1st. Many transfers will have been discussed at that point but obviously many not confirmed etc until later
Clubs are well into playing games and back 4/5 weeks of preseason by September so not really true to say most aren't done until then

List can be adapted until October 1st

June 01st is the deadline for moving clubs within the province, Limerick is crazy in month of may - silly season. Once it passes its unlikely a player will be released if he wants to leave to another club in the same city.

October 01st is for National transfers - outside the province, like lads moving Cork to Dublin etc.

A club cannot block a player from moving. I don't know what Munster is like but from my experience there would be very few even inter province ones done by June.

Sure most u20s are probably done post leaving cert results etc from country clubs to Dublin clubs

RuPi

School leavers and students have until the October deadline, majority of players moving clubs is done by the June deadline.

Heard that Ivan Soroka and Matt D'arcy are joining Tony Ryan in getting pro-contracts as cover for the world cup. Unsure if all with Leinster or if Soroka and D'arcy are joining their former clubs of Connacht and Munster respectively.

A player can move to any club up until the 1st October but after the 1st June the holding club has to agree to it and sign the transfer form.

Galwegians unveil plans for new grounds. Pretty far from where they are currently and a bit outside the city, I'm sure they chose the site for a reason but I always wonder how wise it is clubs moving out of town from being in town as it means driving there is the only real option which might put potential players off as well as supporters.

its he other side of city and will affect NUIG whos underage set up was created in 2011 as there wasnt a club for underage rugby on west side of the city.
Its across the city but they had to move from glenina which wasnt good enough any more. The whole clubhouse/dressing rooms etc were nowhere near good enough.
Dont see it putting off players as improvements in facilities will attract players more than anything.
Though in galway recently i did hear there could still be few twists before anything for definite happens

ArmchairQB

Players in AIL are free to move to any club prior to May 31st without consent of club but must get consent of club they are leaving after May 31st. Transfers still allowed after May 31st but must have permission of club they are leaving

Chico Flores

Apologies lads, think I just misunderstood the rules. As we often have lads transferring in after J1s in the summer etc

UpTipp123

i know in Munster, June 01st is the deadline as the month of may is crazy with coaches scrambling for new players, cos they know after June 01st other clubs wont release there players.

Any Foreign,from another province, school players an junior club players can transfer up until 01st October.

Geoff Moylan is Director of Rugby with tadgh bennett as head coach and mike storey as forwards. They signed Alan Fitz, a backrow from Garryowen. Not sure who else. Robbie Deegan went to terenure and ger finucane retired. Doubt they will see Casey or flannery until the new year. There trying to sign a 10.

Garryowen also trying to sign a foreign 10 and second row.
Evan cusack to young Munster - could play a bit at 10.

it will be September once games begin that we get an idea on whos where etc.

Shannon could struggle next season don't seem to have a lot of depth on d squad,Deegan would be a loss but was injury prone, 12/13 could b a problem area..

Fixed your post.


It's gas that Shannon were penalised last year for paying some lads airfare when it's an open secret that there are a number of clubs who are giving lads a few coin to play.
But what can be done, nothing illegal about some random guy giving another random guy a few quid because they're mates... just don't put it in writing that it's to play for club x and go about your business. Or am I missing something?
