Prop-short London Irish sign front row pair on short-term deals

London Irish have completed the signings of Jamie Dever and Ryan Bower on short-term contracts ahead of next month’s start to the new Gallagher Premiership season. The 28-year-old Dever joins on a short-term deal after a stint in Major League Rugby where he featured for Houston Sabercats, San Diego Legion and Old Glory DC.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old Bower joins following spells with Leicester Tigers and Worcester Warriors, the latter for whom he made just over 100 appearances between 2014 and 2020.

London Irish boss Declan Kidney said: “We’re pleased to welcome both Jamie and Ryan to London Irish. With Facundo (Gigena) called into the Argentina squad and Luke (Green) and Tarek (Haffar) only just returning to pre-season training after their exploits with England Under-20s, we’re a little bit light numbers-wise at prop.

“To be able to add both players to the squad for the next few months will strengthen our options, both on match days and on a daily basis at Hazelwood.”

Irish, who lost out in June by two points in the race to qualify for the Heineken Champions Cup, begin their new Premiership season with a September 18 trip to Worcester.

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

I think sometimes the media can get carried away with 1 game. This game went exact same way as 2 years ago-england go into big lead,france come back strong and england hanging on at the end. It ended up having no wider context than that 1 game.England put in a very uncharacteristic defensive display at the weekend-I doubt england will be that poor in defence again. That said I do not think England are guaranteed to win world cup-the pressure and intensity of semi finals/finals is different as we often see in the mens world cups. New zealand are a brilliant world cup side capable of peaking at the right time,and canada/france very capable too.

'Footy doesn’t always love you back': Anton Lienert-Brown out for season

If you are going to select your 13 based soley on defence then you may as well keep Ioane at 13.


And I do not want to see Ioane at 13 any more than I do ALB.


Billy Proctor, Brayden Ennor, or Leicester Fainga’anuka would be my choices at 13 (I have been watching him play for Toulon and he can distribute well enough and can defend the wide channels.

Actually two games as Brayden Ennor was absolutely brilliant in his one match this season versus the Reds.

That is because after 80 tests, ALB is still mediocre. He is a permanent bench player who provides no impact other than penalties and yellow cards.


But don’t stress, I don’t think David Havili is All Black calibre either.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

I’m certainly not expecting the evolution to come with a devastating price. I think it is possible to have both, who would think the All Blacks not physical? Rassie is not guilty of this, but previous Bok coaches have been blind to the fact. Different nations have made the same point against us. Australia under Robbie Deans, Hansen’s Blacks, Wales and more recently Ireland. It is straightforward IP, i would think. Asking the Boks to Out-Skill the All blacks or France is not the idea, but rather to have something to fall should your physicality be matched. This is why, i think, The All Blacks have won games they had no right wining, Ireland 2013, would the Boks have had the ball skills to pull that off? It is also why just matching the All Blacks Physically does not do it, you have to go beyond that.


I just think the Ireland Problem, if you can call it that, as it could have been any of the teams i have mentioned, have come at a ripe time. This might just be the reason the Boks complete a Three-peat.

I wouldn’t even pick him for the last game either. Make him stay around to see out his contract & carry the Tackle Bags etc but then don’t play him. MT let his team down big time with such an unnecessary act.

So why wasn’t Scott Barrett dropped when he got sat down/pumped/steam rolled/emptied/flattened by Cheslin Kolbe - a man almost half his size? Or why wasn’t Ben Earl dropped when he was brushed aside by Damian de Allende? Both far worse attempted tackles in games that had higher stakes.

It’s not a breakthrough since I haven’t disputed this point but rather, have positively agreed with your interpretation regarding the intent methodology previously.


However you have declined, yet again, to answer my question on exactly what you are disputing here, nor have you addressed the questions on who is calling out any issues with the law at WR level and how you know this will form part of the WR board meeting agenda.


So not much left to discuss here and we will find out, over the next month or so, just how reliably informed you are. Or not as the case may be…

Indeed. I didn’t see the All Blacks drop 118kg Scott Barrett when he got sat down by 75kg Cheslin Kolbe. Now that was really embarrassing.
