I'm a big fan, and I desperately hope Aki stays FFS, you know it. But no-one can turn a blind eye to the facts. Aki is out of contract and played his RWC. Of course he loves Connacht as I do. But just like Pat Lam, he may have other considerations

To come back on subject J.Connolly scored his 1st try in his 1st away win with Nottingham

Sheedy and o Connor have both played for England XV only 4 months ago. Not capped but clearly they want to wear the English shirt.
Also Macken if Aki leaves. Laughed at both thinking Macken would be any good and here we go from or own ‘fans’ about ‘aki leaving’.

I was looking at a button to message the mods privately as I enjoy reading and keeping updated about ex players so they could move these last 2 posts somewhere else as it’s very much of topic as to where it was posted

In the 5 other games I've spotted

1) Charlie Mulchrone on the bench for Quins (if Llyod leaves and Marmion/Blade are busy with Ireland as expected)
2) Michael Heaney starting for Worcester (if Llyod leaves and Marmion/Blade are busy with Ireland as expected)
3) Jordan Coghlan starting for Leicester (plays 7 or 8, if Fainga'a/Copeland leaves)

(I didn't forget Whitten/Steenson, but they are too old to come now)

this topic is about nostalgia, I'll point out "future players in the news", IQ abroad!

For this game (to sign from Pat Lam/L.Irish), we have

1) Sheedy on the bench (to sign if Horwitz leaves)
2) Macken starting (if Aki/Daly leaves)
3) Piers O'conor starting (if Aki/Daly leaves)
4) Gilsenan starting (if Fainga'a/Copeland leaves -Boyle moved to 8 in the last case-)
5) Joyce starting (if Gallagher/N.Murray definitely moved to back-row)

Aly Muldowney started Bristol's home win over London Irish at the weekend, with Jake Heenan coming off the bench.
Good to the see the two of them making an impact over there.

Not a question of not being allowed to talk about it here, but it doesn't have any relevance anymore.
He is a former player, the incident happened in France while playing for another team.

For me personally. Let justice be served, then we can debate the rights and wrongs...

[strike]Not sure what you're on about. Wiki, itsrugby & a stack of French sites all have Coulson moving from Stade to Carcassonne.[/strike]

Never mind, see what you mean...

New 4 year deal for Pat Lam: www.bristolbearsrugby.com/news/pat-lam-a...-with-bristol-bears/
Not sure if there is any significance to the change to DOR. Sometimes it is just a job title, other places it's a different job.

Given he came on with a quarter of an hour left and his team 33-0 down, Conan O'Donnell's Sunwolves debut went pretty well. Hit a lot of rucks, made 4 carries (ESPN have him down for 8 metres gained, seemed line more on TV), made 2 tackles, won 2 scrum penalties including turning over a Brumbies scrum on their 5 metre line, and conceded one scrum penalty (though I thought the opposition tight head should have been pinged on any of the multiple resets that preceded it).
