Hi All. Is anyone aware if we now have our full list or are we still in any negotiations? Just curious if we may still have any new players to come?

One to come officially but he's already here. They are waiting for the paperwork to be completed.
think it is some random saffa
Nah, JOC won't be back for the start of the season. He will be injury cover. Let's face it, every team in the comp will pick up a long term injury at some point, they are part of rugby.
I can't say I'll be crying tears of blood if he doesnt come. He's a bit of a pariah at the moment, and doesn't seem to be taking any steps to redress his issues. As a result, any team that picks him up will have a WHOLE LOT of work to do to integrate him into their structures.
Maybe he should go to UnZud or Safferonia to get the pretentious beat off'n him first!
Actually, I just realized I said beat off (accidental, but pretty appropriate when talking about JOC)
is it maybe one of these boys
According to Die Burger's website, the Australians are now also after promising youngsters, fullback/flyhalf Dillyn Leyds and prop Francois van Wyk.

Are you sure? Read an article where his coach was saying how big of an input he has had to the family aspect ofondon Irish. Is always early and leaves late as he's interacting with fans. Went to a club forum and stole the limelight; was answering every question until they all had their fill

but still wants to play in France,rather than return?
Given the opportunity to play overseas and embrace a brilliant culture, any one of the squad players will be a fantastic 30th player, regardless if who. Seems everyone wants to give it a massive go 2014. Stoked to be a member.

O'connor said having to play super 14 next year to be eligible for wallaby selection for the world cup "complicates things"
He still seems to be happy dicking everybody around to try and get the best deal.......normally I wouldn't begrudge a little horse trading, but this is a bloke who is (should be) looking to clean up his image because he wants to get back in the Wallabies, who basically arsed him for being a bit of a wanker......this when others are still under contract after court appearances and rehab stints. I'm beginning to feel a little smoke-fire now with stories about JOC running a contracting merry-go-round to try and drive his price up.
