    One of Kearney or Nacewa won't start on the wing for Leinster next season.

    I really think James Lowe will take the league by storm. He's a tremendous wing.

    Off to a good start.

    To be fair, the SA tv deal was only concluded today. There's always gonna be teething issues when a tournament is altered so significantly and in a limited time frame.

    It's gonna have the biggest audience, the biggest. Nobody will have an audience bigger than the Cheetas. Not even Obama Leinster will have as big an audience.

    Just learned that Robbie Fruean signed for Edinburgh. I know he hasn't fulfilled the huge potential he had when he was younger, but he's still a good player. Looking forward to seeing him play.

    Good result for Edinburgh who won 10-20 at Cardiff. Their next two games are Dragons and Treviso at home so they have a great opportunity to build momentum.
