Good luck to him. I'm pretty much ambivalent about the guy now that he's gone. Overpaid and eminently replaceable.

ya not that worried to be honest. i think a year in the premiership will blunt his game and he will be battling with Cummins, Tomane, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), and an improving Betham for a wing spot - not to mention Henry Speight. not like either outside Betham are a step backwards.
fullback options are folau, beale, foley, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) with Lilo, To'omua, and Godwin as 12 options. not sure he'd jump right in anywhere.

Turns out London Irish head coach knew about the meeting with Toulon ahead of time and was fine with it. He's been talking about how the Exiles still hope to sign JOC (James O'Connor) for longer after his 3 months are up, despite this interest from Toulon.

Whose funding the Irish? Once Toulon come a knocking, your usually done. Going to be not far off a full 3N XV - and a bloody good one at that (abeilt a few past their peak, but they are offset by those at their peak)

London Irish have left JOC (James O'Connor) out of their 22 for the game against Newcastle falcons. Interesting.....

He should be the first back picked in that squad. How do you know he is running water? I haven't seen that news article.

According to a post on his feed they are running the LV cup, which is like a development program. Apparently the bigwigs don't typically play. Thought he might have got some time in. Must have this on because of the international window.

It's not, basically with the LV Cup you run your young players and if you make the finals then you name a full strength side.

The approach to player management is not too dissimilar to the AFL preseason tournament.

See how easy it is for people to jump to conclusions though? People are suing he is ok probably drunk or leaving. Hahaha. Hopefully he is doing well

Does part of his water running duties involve preparing post match Jager bombs in the dressing rooms?

He has a 'camelback' type device that allows him to take it out on the field. It's not a too dissimilar approach the Box Hill Unquenchables (over 35's team) take down here, but they just replace 'camelback' with 'bottle of port' and they are set. Sure it's similar up north too...
