[mildlyinterested]

[flustered]

Ben Murphy to join Muster on a short term deal

[mildlyinterested]

good move for him.. interested to see how it works out for him.

he is miles away from a leinster cap so should be interesting if he gets a cap for Munster.. if he could learn a thing or two from Casey that'd be great.

[mildlyinterested]

Hopefully leinster take part in the 7's tournament next weekend, given club rugby is finished for the forseeable the sub-academy players may be able to enter a bubble.

Wait and see, I suppose.

I had completely forgot about Alex Soroka such is the amount of talent coming through. He looked incredibly good for Ireland u20s this year, what a shame the u20s was cancelled. Wonder will he be getting any senior game time this year.
