Always. Happens. All the pro Refs and ail Panel Refs about 40-50 of them meet up. Fitness test and go through any of the key points to watch for in season ahead

Clubs them usually get a visit by ref Development officers or if lucky to have a ail ref in their club from them.

Won't be too much changing this season with world cup. Will be lot more changes for next season as world ruby react after world cup

Yea I know what you mean. This lad was lost in 2B as he was dragged down to the level it’s at. He’s a phenomenal athlete so in a better league I think he’ll thrive. He’s only 22

Yeah I remember we gains when they were in 1a just can’t say I remember him lol. But yeah I are right about that I think Tony Ryan played for enniscorthy before he moved to tarf and he’s one hell of a player. There was another lad ex tarf was with enniscorthy in recent years just can’t remember his name and from Lansdowne point of view Willie Earle gardener butterworth I think all played junior club pre or post Lansdowne career

I think Culliton played in Division 1 when Galwegians were up there to be fair. I'm told he is excellent. Theres loads of lads playing in Divisions below their ability to be fair, for family reasons or their home club or just getting a few quid.

Mick McGrath still there, McFadden stepped down for family reasons and they replaced him as backs coach with ex Leinster lad Conor O'Brien.

making the step up from a divison 2 club to 1a is abit different from going 1a or 1b to a div 2 club though in all fairness so will have to wait and see how it works out. albeit it i never seen the kid play so dunno what hes capable of. Do you know if the likes of mick mcgrath are still there playing for them and fergus mcfadden on the coaching ticket etc etc?

Wanderers loss is Lansdownes gain. He could be phenomenal at a 1a club.

Things sound very disjointed at wanderers currently. By all accounts they haven’t recruited and losing their best player. Risky

Chico Flores

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120906742#Comment_120906742

He's been there a few seasons. He's very good to be fair. Think there is a family connection to Wanderers

Didn't realise he was still playing, was surprised at the time that he didn't go further with Connacht. Looked good playing for the Eagles when he was only just out of school as far as I remember.

Lucas Culliton from Wanderers has joined Lansdowne

Great signing.

Charlie O'Carroll, Tom Ormond, Graham Curtis, Liam McMahon, Odhran Ring, Tommy O'Brien, Alex Simpson, Mike Gorman, Jack Ringrose, Jack Gardiner & Cillian Duff all signed for Rock

RuPi

They have signed the majority of the school leavers who are academy or NTS level. How this partnership pans out will be interesting to say the least given the majority of their side will only train one night a week.

What about that strategic partnership with Queens that Ulster announced, anything come of it? I'd assumed they might benefit from player transfers but no idea what it really entails apart from that.
