Former Irish underage international subject of speculation that he might move west on year-long loan deal
“We have obviously lost JJ for the best part of next season, certainly until the new year anyway. I think it’s important we get another ‘10′ in, partly as backup to Jack Carty but also as competition. I think JJ and Jack have stepped up this year in terms of having that competition with each other, so I think it is important .
“You need any of the parent clubs, the other provinces to be aligned as well, so it’s not a straightforward process. But we definitely want to bring someone in and we will see where we go over the next couple of weeks.” “That’s a big part of what we are trying to do here. But yeah, it was another positive step for Sam and his development to get through 80 minutes. You saw lots of positive involvements during the game. He was obviously ‘10′ for the first 60 minutes and then he even moves to ‘15′ as well towards the tail end of the game; so, yeah, it’s another positive outing for him.”Exeter Chiefs' Jack Dunne at Heineken Champions Cup semi-F=final, against La Rochelle.
“He’s scored some phenomenal tries for us and produced some incredible moments. He just needs that little bit of consistency. He had a couple of issues in preseason this year that held him back at the start of the year, so it’ll be really important for Jack to get a good off-season now so that he’s ready to go on day one of preseason.”
