    I thought you were only allowed one overseas player?

    Paul Barr has left Cork Con and gone to Bandon, Willie going kilfeacle - certain he would of played in Limerick.

    I see fixtures for leinster league are out - hopefully AIL ones come soon after.

    i heard Gearoid Lyons is back in limerick - awaiting a contract in Uk but could end up playing AIL

    Two big props coming in for tarf, assume Aungier may make a lot of Leinster match day squads during the world cup?

    He'll be behind Bent and Vakh at the start but good chance he'll get some game time off the bench.

    PRO14 Fixtures are out - surely AIL will follow soon. i See the A competition ends 12th October, which is AIL game 2. then a week off im sure, which isn't the worse for clubs.

    i see the cork teams are back from there clubs twitter accounts, Ryan foley with cork con and gerry hurely - good depth there. Dolphin also had big numbers.

    are most clubs back now - any other transfers?

    Hearing Tadgh McElroy is gone to Clontarf. Strange one given they have two quality hookers (Finlay & Adamson) already unless they are losing one of those

    Hasn’t Adamson signed for Connacht? He’ll be moving clubs if so.

    not necessarily. Only 5 senior clubs in province so some will stay or be affiliated to clubs in leinster/Munster as more clubs there better for there prospects

    Think Connacht are moving all contracted players to local clubs from this season.

    I think it is only academy and development contracted players who are having to move to Connacht clubs. Fully contracted players are only meant to play 1A and B hence Eoghan Masterson couldn’t play for Buccs in their play off v Queens at the end of last season as he would have been playing against a 2A side.

    If that is the case, any idea who Jordan Duggan is moving too from Naas?

    No idea but he tore his acl towards the end of last season so he won’t be playing for anyone before Christmas

    LFC recruiting heavily as I understand. Predicting a big season from them, they usually play very well and then sometimes come unstuck towards middle and end of season. They'll be looking for a lot of consistency.
