I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
Glasgow have signed Ruaridh Jackson, plan to fire Finn Russell off into space.

Guinness Pro Whatever fixtures are out :

http://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/pro12/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/08165302/Confidential_Fixtures1718_V5.pdf

* In the case of "extra" derby matches, the home venue appears to be random. The welsh games are played at a neutral venue.

* Cheetahs vs Ospreys clashes with South Africa vs Australia being played at the same ground. It might go ahead as a warm-up game?

* The final day of the season is Bonus Derby Match Day :
Munster vs Ulster
Connacht vs Leinster
Glasgow vs Edinburgh (Part 3)
Benetton vs Zebre (Part 3)
Kings vs Cheetahs (Part 3)
Blues vs Ospreys (Judgement Day)
Dragons vs Scarlets (Judgement Day)

* The Christmas Weekend and New Year Weekend also have the same fixtures as the final day

Ulster Rugby tweeted a list of job vacancies that had Fly-Half on it.

I've heard Ulster have made offers for both Steven Shingler and Luke Price.

Initially there was hope they'd get someone from the SH, then that shifted to the more realistic expectation that we'd get someone from one of the Irish provinces on loan. If we're bidding for Shingler and a guy who's only ever played once for Ospreys though that would suggest we're hosed and the front office has dropped the ball yet again.

Go cheetahs?

It's amazing how few lions are in the sa squad.

Especially in the centers, because Vorster especially had a good year but SURFNTURF AND KRIEL THEY MUST STICK TOGETHER, plus Coetzee really likes de Allende even though he struggled for time this year with the Stormers.

Jordie Barrett's done his shoulder and is gone for the season. David Havili has been called up to the All Blacks.

My favourite league is the one where Glasgow get to demolish Edinburgh 3 times a season, while the other top teams only get to play them once.

Just the training squad, but he's probably been told to keep his bags packed just in case. Being in the training squad means that there's a pretty decent chance he'll get a look-in later in the year after the injuries mount up.

Don't the Welsh sides get to pump the Dragons a similar number of times?

SBW is being included for the sake of trolling Australia around his bullshit serving of suspension. There are probably 25 better NZ 12s than him, and NZ would easily beat the clinically depressed Wallabies with 14 men right now anyway.
