Didn't they have something similar when Hendo moved from London (where he'd lived all his life) to Munster (where he'd visited occasionally for Ireland...

ahh! now i see! You're right about Jonny Bell, it's a real shame, when fit and on form I really rate him. In the run up to this latest achilies injury he...
Just seen that Bell has passed his medical and has signed a new contract which is great news. I would hope that he's continued his trend over the last 18...
Stuart How old is Bell now? Must be pushing 30 at least. Colin ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other...
I think that he's 30 now, so yes certainly not one for the future but had it not been for injuries i think he would have been one of Irelands best players over...

Stuart, what happened about Kershaw? Did he fail the fitness or what? I haven't heard since the speculation that Ulster were looking to sign him. Thanks and...

I wonder if any of you watched the game between the all blacks and the pacific islanders last weekend. It was one of the hardest games I have seen and the...

Yeah I watched both their games so far. Its bad enough facing the Samoans, Fijians or Tongans on their own but a combination side! and I haven't mentioned the...
They exposed some defensive weaknesses in the All Blacks backs alright. Shame they didn't use the ball a bit better. The scoreline lied about the closeness of...
