🇮🇪 #4. Conor Murray
One of the most decorated scrum-halves in modern rugby, Conor Murray is now available after bidding farewell to Munster following 15 glittering seasons.
A three-time British & Irish Lion, World Cup semi-finalist, and Grand Slam winner with Ireland, Murray boasts over 100 Test caps and a reputation for cool-headed control under pressure.
He was a key figure in Ireland’s rise to world number one and brings a level of tactical intelligence and experience rarely seen in the Premiership.
At 36, he may be entering the twilight of his career—but as a short-term general to guide Newcastle’s rebuild, he’d be priceless. Murray’s leadership, elite pedigree, and pinpoint kicking game could make him the perfect on-field general for the Red Bull era.
🐂 #5. Jack Nowell
Already a Red Bull athlete and one of the most recognisable faces in rugby, Jack Nowell brings a rare blend of elite performance and commercial appeal—a marketing dream. A British & Irish Lion, England international, and long-time standout at Exeter Chiefs, Jack has built a global following through both his dynamic style of play and distinctive personality off the pitch.
On the field, he remains a genuine threat, with his experience and versatility adding real value. Off it, his strong brand partnerships and media presence make him a major asset for fan engagement and sponsorship.
One potential consideration is that Jack experienced issues playing on artificial surfaces during the latter stages of his time at Exeter. With the Falcons playing on a synthetic pitch, this may need to be factored into any long-term plans.
