Carlin Isles came to rugby prominence last month when a compilation video of his performances for the USA sevens team was posted to YouTube. The super fast 23 year old American has a 100m personal best of 10.24 according to IAAF.org.

Rumours have surfaced on the internet that he will be coming on trial with Leinster at some point this month.

And from poster Jackass on boards.ie:

I have been informed that Carline Isles has arrived in Dublin and is commencing a 1 month trial with Leinster - as bullsh*t as that sounds, supposedly it is the case. I can't find any information online about this or on either Leinsterfans or this site, so I call this as my breaking news exclusive. Leinster will be making an announcement on contracts in the coming weeks, including the resigning of Cronin and possibly Fitz extension, presumably if Isles's trial goes well, his signing may be confirmed also. Not sure if it will be mentioned before that or if at all if we aren't interested after a 1 month trial. Fingers crossed it goes well - what we could do with that speed on the end of Leinster back play.... Not since the days of Denis Hickie have we been consistently scoring tries from 50, 60, 70+ yards out... He's only 23 also. Since he's capped at 7's level, presumably he couldn't be signed as a project player and would take a NIQ spot.


He has already been linked with a move to Perpignan on French site rugby-transferts.com

And it says he's coming to Leinster on Wikipedia.

It could be true.

Then again the rumours could all have started because of the Wikipedia page.
