Front Five - 24.08.16

Start your day with five eye-catching egg-chasing quotes & links from around the ruggersphere.

Normally these "competition launches"
are nothing but glorified photo-shoots
but yesterday's Guinness Pro12 media event
seemed to create quite a few talking points

Niamh O'Mahony - Pundit Arena

**********

...there are some who are coming forward and saying that Jamie (Cudmore) basically lied about his situation and how bad it was. Hogwash.
