    I'll never forget that Bundee tackle on Sexton. I knew from that moment Connacht wouldn't be caught that glorious day.

    Interesting read on the premiership salary cap and player incomes.

    No surprise that all the nasty little mouthy hobbits get paid the least 🙂

    I'm actually very surprised by that. Considering how important a position it is I'd have expected them to be much higher up.

    From RugbyPass today.

    Former Ireland centre and Lions tourist Jared Payne, who is an assistant coach with URC rivals the Scarlets, has emerged as the new favourite to take over as Connacht boss.

    New Zealand-born Payne, 39, moved into coaching with Ulster in 2018 after being forced into retirement when he failed to recover from an injury suffered on the 2017 Lions tour to his homeland.

    He spent a year working in France for Clermont Auvergne after leaving Ulster in 2022 and was placed in interim charge when Jono Gibbes left, and he is known to be highly thought of by IRFU performance director David Humphreys.

    Limited Head Coach experience and we saw where that got us with Wilkins. He could surprise us all I guess. Don't like the idea of him getting the job coz he's a mate of Humphreys, who has been a walking disaster in all of his decision making since taking over from Nucifora. We should be breaking the bank to bring Lancaster in.
