‘It’s Toulouse for me’ - Josh Brennan makes loyalties clear amid breakout campaign

It is a testament to Brennan’s rise in his breakout season. He debuted for Toulouse last year, making 13 appearances. He has already matched that total halfway through the current campaign, with a European debut also under the belt.

“My priority would be France,” he explains. “Maybe, if it was never to happen, you never know but for the moment it’s France. For me to play for Ireland, I’d have to play in Ireland too, club rugby. So far it’s Toulouse for me. The fact I’ve been playing for Toulouse since the age of 12, I myself didn’t want to leave the club and they didn’t want to let me leave.”

The other elephant in the room is Brennan’s surname. As if to prove the point that he can’t escape questions about his famous dad, a wave and a “Is that Thornley?” from Trevor in the background provides a light interruption on the other end of the phone.
