Shame he's s bit older and on a short term deal.

Plenty of time for him to impregnate some ladies though...

I think Brad Thorn is probably the best foreign player to ever play for leinster.

Hmmm. A lot of competition there and, of course, he hasn't actually played yet.

In terms of the contribution they made to Leinster, here's my top five imports:

1) Nacewa
2) Contepomi
3) Elsom
4) Wright
5) Hines

And that's leaving out Holwell, Whitaker, le Roux and not counting Strauss...

.ak · 07-03-2012 02:12PM

Now that he's gone I'd have to say Hines was probably one of more important players... Hard to justify him ahead of Elsom or even Conters, but maybe Wright...

It's great to have a Thorne in our side.

durkadurka · 07-03-2012 02:22PM

Boom boom.

Let's hope Brads not the Pitts

I only found out about the deal being confirmed 20 minutes ago, and I have already heard that at least 6 times.

I'm talking about pure talent at the peak of their careers. Not contribution to the team.

Can't beat Nacewa!

Interview on LTV

http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/mdtv/play/media/id/11082

15 months of solid rugby is a lot and he's going to go straight into next season without a break either.

Hardcore.

[Jackass] · 07-03-2012 04:03PM

Exxxxcellent.

DDC1990 · 07-03-2012 04:06PM

Look, just throwing this out there, but he's no DOC.

You're right, Thorn's a good player.

Seph503 · 07-03-2012 04:10PM

Thorn does too much "seen" work. He's got nothing on DOC's "unseen" work!:pac:

Good interview. He looks like he is ready to rip someones head off...

DDC1990 · 07-03-2012 04:23PM

I should qualify that im taking the piss,

Thorne is unreal. I wonder how much rugby he has left in him.

BoardsMember · 07-03-2012 05:02PM

I wonder what kind of cash he's on....

Hopefully he'll buy into this in a big way, and end up busting a gut to show his ability, and make big impressions with those around him. That will, in turn, encourage other players to show how good they are.

This gives us a realistic chance of winning the HCup again.

Cpt_Blackbeard · 07-03-2012 05:46PM

Fantastic acquisition for Leinster. He'll significantly increase your chances of retaining the HC, but he would want to for the €€€ he'll be lining his pockets with.

Can always count on Captain to see the grey lining in the silver cloud of Leinster rugby!

Where's the grey lining? There's a HC and Rabo up for the taking on the horizon. Thorn's addition to already brilliant team should further ensure silverware. He'll pay for himself in added revenue.

[Jackass] · 07-03-2012 06:06PM

Who gives a crap, if we retained the Heineken Cup he would be worth millions!

Either way, I think he's going to buy into this big time, especially when he talks about honouring the jersey in his first interview.
