I think the inevitability of this is pretty much what I said above (don't think anyone was offended).wixfjord wrote: ↑December 31st, 2020, 11:15 am So what exactly is in that headline or article that’s offensive or wrong? He’s saying exactly what has been said numerous times on here.
We have too many good backrowers to keep them happy.
Clearly at least one will need to leave.
Money issues at the IRFU will make it even more likely that they’ll push a move.
For what it's worth I'm not sure this would be the right move for JC if he has hopes to renew his position as No. 8 candidate for Ireland. It would seem he's in a pretty similar position to Jordi Murphy when he jumped ship and though he's played well up North he has been quickly forgotten about by the Ireland setup. It wouldn't be a great stretch (for me anyway) to see something similar happen with JC.
I'm not sure the timing is right for Deegan either, in relation to when he'd be back from injury plus would Ulster be willing to risk it all on a guy coming back from such a major injury.
Loath though I am to say it I think RR would be the best fit for them at them moment. His international position can't get much worse for moving and it might get him viewed in a different light by the Irish setup. Would be gutted though
