u/HumoursOfDonnybrook

According to the 42 rugby weekly, James Lowe's contract remains up in the air which is very, very late in the season now. The feeling I get is that the vibes aren't good. Despite being a key player for Ireland over the last 6 years and Faz name checking him as being in his world cup plans, he has remained on provincial contract which is the key sticking point. It's looking like Lowe will potentially be a high profile victim of Humphrey's policies.

From Leo's point of view, I can see the issue - paying big sums for a 33 year old player who he will have little access to and is likely to play single digit games over the season doesn't work under the David Humphrey's regime.

For my part, I'd be very sad to lose Lowe who has been a favourite player of mine since he came over. A big boot, a fantastic finisher, works like a dog across the pitch on both sides of the ball, and a different sort of character to the usual Leinster phenotype. He's a difference maker and still has massive value despite his age & the competitiveness on the wing.

Hey folks, much like the sun in the summer, you can count on the muppets and seagulls arriving around this time of year to troll the subreddit. I’ve updated the crowd control settings to filter posts from ban evaders & new accounts but it may filter genuine posters.

I’ll be keeping a close eye on what’s being filtered over the next few days and will adjust the settings accordingly. Apologies in advance if any genuine posters get hit with the filter - I’ll get any genuine posts approved as soon as I can.

If you feel you’ve been hit incorrectly with a filter, ping a message to modmail and I’ll get it sorted.

Thanks!

And breath…
