Review and Preview
This week has seen Geech face the possibility of a 3 man reshuffle to his Lions squad, with Tom Shanklin now joining Tomas O’ Leary on the injury list and Munster’s Alan Quinlan facing the possibility of a ban for gouging Leo Cullen in the Heineken Cup Semi Final. While there are a couple of […]
Dai Was Monty’s Double
It seems that Sean Lamont may be bound not for Brive, but for Parc Y Scarlets with a move to Llanelli. Injury hit Sean (but who is currently out of the Saints team on form) may yet be playing Magners League rugby next year. There’s nothing official on the Scarlets website yet so it may […]

Lamont to miss rest of season.
No, not him, the older one. The one you would have worried about if it had been this time last year. Sean “Monty” Lamont has picked up a knee ligament injury at Northampton which will keep him out for the rest of the season. Seems to be cruciate ligament damage from some of the articles […]
