This page looks familiar!

Ireland teams been announced mate. No jennings or TOL

Devin Toner didnt make the Ireland squad either

Cheers guys, I was only making a very rough guess of the top of my head, i'll update it properly later, hoping for no big shocks. TOL is a surprise though

Will do, let me know if you release BOD

You need to bin off 5 players mate

What you willing to pay for him?

What players were available

Bowe for Nalaga maybe? Would you be interested in Qera or Latu for SOB or Ferris? Gives you a combative seven rather than two sixes. Not too interested in losing Cencus tbh. My front row is probably the best part of my team!

Interested in an out and out OC and G Murphy too

OK mate, could see a pontential deal there. I'd be interested in Heaslip and possibly POC.

Blair + Evans 4 Bowe

Pape + Nallet + Szarzewski + Traille
for
POC + DOC + Best + D'Arcy

Anything doing for Sexton mate?

BOD for Shane Williams and James Hook?

I could do a deal for SBW based around BOD if you were interested

Szarz + Ouedraogo
For
Best + SOB

Ferris + Best
=
Qera + £15m

?

Not quite, I'll come back in the morning.

Not bothered about best, just saw that as improving you.

Traille + Parra
For
BOD + SOB

Maps + Nalaga + Latu
=
SOB + BOD

Enq

I could do that. Let me know ASAP.

How is it?

Could do just SOB for Yach + £5m?

Parra is top 3, SOB not quite. I'd need a gain, hence why i offered yach who is similar level.

Ferris/SOB + ?
=
Koya + ?

Need to tie up something now CID deal with fluxy.

Leave me a couple of options I'll come back tomorrow.

Heaslip and Bowe mate.

How about

Blair + Brown 4 SOB + £5m

Koya + Maps + Nalaga
=
SOB + D'Arcy + Bowe

Give me something mate. You said you were interested in those players. Can you suggest anything then?

Burgess + Mitchell + Palu

=

Reddan + Bowe + Heaslip

enq.

You asked for him?

Tekori + Koyamoibole + Mapusua + Tuilagi
=
Cullen + SOB + D'Arcy + Earls

Enq

SOB
4
Yach + £10m

Would be an offer

O'Brien + Sexton + Trimble + O'Driscoll
for
Croft + Wilkinson + Hape + Tindall

Really keen to tie this SOB/Yach deal up mate.

Parra + Trinh-Duc
For
SOB + Sexton + Reddan

Actually scrap that


Parra
For
SOB

Steen + Oedraogo + Fotuali'i + Little
=
Healy + Ferris + Redan + O'Gara

Enq

Brussow + Little + CJ + Schwalger
4
Wallace + ROG + Ross + Best
----
Brussow >> Wallace
Little < ROG
CJ > Ross
Schwalger = Best

Ouedraogo + Little + Fotauli'i + Schwalger
=
Wallace + ROG + Reddan+ Best

Ouedraogo > Wallace
Little < ROG
Fotuali'i = Reddan
Schwalger = Best

Not to interested in losing Brussow unless its for a BS or an 8 due to the fact Oedraogo can play six too. I'd listen to offers on CJ but his versatility means I'd put him in front of Ross. Obviously ROG would be an improvement, but the gap between him and Little is not as big as the one for Brus and Wallace.

£15m?

I'll leave it mate.

D'Arcy + O'Driscoll + Trimble + Healy
for
Hape + Tindall + Cueto + Stevens

Parra for SBW?

I am not convinced as to how parra and Carter would go together so i'm not interested in losing out big time to get him. Think the idea of SBW's offloads and BOD's lines together is a lot more attractive than a Parra/Carter half back combo

What for Parra?
