Quote: Cruncher "I wish him the best of luck. He's going to need it, if that's his plan.
Wasn't it the Wales RU coach who boasted that any decent players emerging at Celtic would immediately be nabbed by RU? I can't see there's much scope for it working the other way, and as for pinching some older RU boys - I can't see a bunch of 15-a-side veterans coping in SL. The likes of Tommy David did it with Cardiff in another era, and it didn't even work then.'"
I think you're right there about the Wales RU coach. Wasn't it Graham Henry, who's now in charge of New Zealand rugby union?
I don't think Noble is daft so if it obviously isn't going to work he'll ditch the idea.
And you don't know if a certain question was out to him by a Welsh journalist. 'Would you entertain union players Mr Noble?' Easiest thing is to just say 'Yes, lad'.
