Cherry-picking abroad! was created by connachta
January : time to sign some new faces for next season.
Keane new-zealander gems of course but also wisely-chosen IQs!

I excluded those who seem to have "disappeared" from google-search-year-result (Mark Best, Willie Ryan ...)
And i've made the (long tideous) work to separate those who seem out of contract (for now), and those who are bound overseas (or already back in Ireland) beyond this summer.
In red those I'd want to see signing in one province (let's say Connacht :P )... Because there're promising and/or there's an opportunity to make them move on low money (relegation or huge competion in their club), compared to their decent level.
