    I know there isn't a definitive list, bar the Ulster one above, but is there a way of seeing who has transferred from which clubs etc?

    Or just what we can work out from those involved in respective clubs here
    Checking out club websites/teamsheets unless IRFU and provinces are to change tact and publish all transfers like they have before(not done for a long time)
    Local papers may have transfers like Limerick Leader for Limerick clubs but nothing nationwide

    Not sure if they are originally from there. One is Jake Howlett. Don't know on the other.

    Celbridge is not in the general area of Naas or Newbridge. Barnhall & North Kildare would put you straight there.Opposite ends of the county

    Lots of people from North Kildare go to Newbridge though, and he certainly did as well

    Had heard Turner to LFC but I guess we'll see where all the school leavers are actually going over the coming days

    They were likely promised senior rugby. Trinity will have a very young team all decent players but to many straight out of school, think they might struggle again this year especially if they loose a few of those players to Irish 20s and Leinster development team

    Think he slightly underwhelmed in Lansdowne last person I was speaking to on him. Played 1s in first season of 20s but never kicked on

    Change of place might be good as he was highly rated

    David O'Connor from St Marys and Harry Byrne from UCD would be the main signings

    And there lies the potential problem- Will have hookers all right -Sheehan and couple of others but losing Byrne and Bollard leaves them pretty thin there even if 4/5/6/7/8 etc will be fine with Dunne Baird McDonad and some very good U20 back rows from last years winning All Ireland 20s side

    Trinity have signed a lot of under 20 props not sure on quality but heard they have 5/6 incoming

    Yea will be interesting. Baird & Dunne are 2 excellent 2nd rows and I'd imagine the Trinity lineout will go really well but they are both still very young and if they are packing down behind a young front row it will be interesting to see how the scrum goes. Sheehan is a big unit but not always ideal for a hooker when it comes to scrummaging. Will be very interesting to watch this pack develop.

    Yep-if they get ball they will be very dangerous behind with Osborne/Hogan/Kelly/Sylvestre/Hickey/Moriarty and maybe Turner

    I know but surely there are some props from last season still around also? Also I'd imagine most decent props coming out of school would not be too content playing prem 2.

    The Celtic Cup is useless tbh.

    There should be an ITM Cup type league that plays below the Pro14.

    Can't see that working. (EDIT: Sorry I thought that said plays before the pro 14, that ITM Cup type league will just be an adapted AIL)

    There'll be a change to the AIL. The only question, as usual, is how machiavellian the IRFU have to go before the do what they want.

    Because its only between irish and welsh teams, and is finished by October!?!

    ITM Cup type competition for the Irish league. Seems to work well in New Zealand that has a similar population to us.

    New Zealand is ran completely different. ITM cup is ran by essentially county teams above club level which is far more than the AIL. AIL cant in any way be compared to ITM.
