You are a wise man.

As a scientist I disagree. Come home after 12 pints of Guinness with a need for food and a Tayto cheese and onion sandwich is like heaven. Not great in the morning but live in the moment.

King crisps are the only crisps to go in a sandwich.

Oh god no, southern tayto, Brennan’s pan and real butter.

I'd like to see Izzy, McCann, ReaJea, Doak, Reid all get a couple of matches. That's all I care about. I'm much more interested in whether EOS, TOT, Hume, Lowry, Baloucoune get on a touring (or "touring") Ireland side.

Sadly Izzy’s knee looked bad! Has a frame on in a insta picture!

Reid needs fast tracked!

He commented under the photo to say it’s his ACL.

Paul Smeenus · 14-04-2021 06:43PM

And that he's out for "maybe 8 months"...

...which is until Xmas.

Awful news. Looks like a good player

Indeed, has loads of potential. Wonder has the bulking up had an effect!

We’re jinxed with forwards!

All these big signings for Leinster/Munster any chance of another forward! We could be so lucky!

Balls

He is quite a prospect.

To be fair is 8 months not quite short for an ACL? Maybe the science has got better in the few years, but players used to be out for about a year with it in the past. Maybe it depends on the extent of the tear?

Think Baloucoune was out from August to March with his?

Baloucoune had a hamstring Avulsion which would be different and less predictable than an ACL. Healy was out for 5 months with his. Ryan out for 9. Ultimately it ended Johnny Hollands career

Ah okay, cheers.

launish116 · 16-04-2021 09:06AM

Izzy upgraded contract to 2023! Big vote of confidence on someone with little 15s experience let alone the recent sad injury! Looking forward to him getting back. Definitely seems to have the mentality to succeed!

Paul Smeenus · 16-04-2021 09:34AM

Brilliant. And more announcements, apparently?

Really hope Mathewson is one. Just one more year, 'til Doak and Finlay step up.

Jump_In_Jack · 16-04-2021 09:34AM

Great contract news for the young man, hope he uses the next 8 months to bulk up and come back like a tank.
Fingers crossed for his recovery.
Exciting prospect.

We can only hope another loose head/back row....

Am I alone in assuming there's no-one else coming in?

Another year for Bradley Roberts or, as Ulster Rugby puts it - "Another year of the mullet 💁*♂️"

Paul Smeenus · 16-04-2021 11:21AM

Bill Johnston gone to Ealing as "injury cover on short-term deal".

Might just be a way of getting him to line out for them this season, before joining them officially next.

Was thinking that also

bilston · 16-04-2021 12:47PM

Good luck to Bill. Good player, and sorry it hasn't worked out as hoped, no one's fault, just loads of competition.

bilston · 16-04-2021 12:48PM

Great news about Izzy, hopefully he gets back by Christmas, when you think of his development this year, his potential is huge.

Definitely, madness no other provinces picked him up. Just shows you with the right mind set anything’s possible!

What's pleasing about both today's signings is that they're both with us because they've shown a great deal of resilience. Both have been passed over by different teams and organisations, but are both clearly prepared to knock their pans in.

Well deserved

He's needed as well with McBurney leaving. Herring will spend a bit of time with Ireland, so that leaves Andrew, Roberts and Stewart.

Also rumour online is that Jack McGrath is getting his hip resurfaced.

Not just a rumour about Jack
