wasnt Ah You's departure blurted out on Twitter too (by Naoupou's wife or something?)

yep on instagram.

THe 42 are saying Aki has signed for another year after that he will be IQ and you'd imagine a central contract would be on the cards.

If Gary Ringrose says that's ok with him.

Justice 4 Gary!

Ringrose can have Bowes or Kearneys or Trimbles central contract, Zebo should get one too

Te'o went to the team offering the most money not anything else, plus he wanted to play for England

Indo, I know right, saying Dillane is staying too

[simonokeeffe]

Confirmed: Aki re signs for 3, Dillane for 2

Ringroses central deal is safe

[Dave Cahill]

Not entirely accurate - Te'o went to the team with enough space in their Salary cap to accomodate his RFU deal - would be a more precise way of looking at it

Didn't expect that, that's brilliant news for them.

[offshorerules]

Great news for the weshties. Delighted for them.

Great news for Connacht. Can't believe Dillane is only 22!

12 months from now. Will be eligible for Autumn Internationals in 2017.

Not counting Aki and McCartney for next season (which I shouldve done) theyve Fox-Matamua, Fijian flanker, and Boschoff. If Lli sticks around thats their 4

Be nice if they got a prop

If James Ryan fulfils his promise, we could have three very good second row options for Ireland for the foreseeable.

Agreed but I've being quietly impressed with Conor Carey everytime I've seen him play. Don't think he's Lions standard but he's a very good PRO12 prop with soft hands.

He got mullered against Toulouse, but so have better props so no shame in that
He is a very useful Pro12 player and to top it off he is sound as fnck as well

Good to know. Maybe with Roux behind him next time he'll have a better chance but that Toulouse pack was massive.

Connacht only have 3 fit props for this weekend apparently, even all the Academy lads injured
