IMO the best 10 in the league by a country mile (defense & offence) with one huge weakness - goal kicking check the stats for last season and see how many pens Jersey scored (you wont need the figures of both hands) and conversions missed. If he was even an average place kicker Jersey would never have kept him and he would have been scooped up by a premiership club. Goal kicking aside his defense & game management was a huge factor in Jersey winning the league last season and he's a brilliant bloke - even the forwards rate him highly. 
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

I see that Geordie Irvine is starting at 6 for Cambridge today. He played for Leicester Lions last week (and was voted Nat 1 player of the week) and I believe that he is still on the books at Saints. 

There are obviously lots of dual registered players across the leagues, but does this make him 'triple registered'? I'm not sure I've seen that before, anyone else?

Academy lads seem to be everywhere this season, we have had Tigers lads playing for the Lions, Loughborough Students and Trent Poly in the BUCS this season already. Geordie Irvine is still on the Saints senior academy books, I rather hope for us he comes back to the Lions, I think he's scored in pretty much every game too.

Think its still 4 clubs English Academy Players can be registered with - (One in each tier) number of LS dual reg would (last year)  have been registered with Esher (B4 relegation) and/or Worthing so they can pay at the appropriate level as they develop though the season- currently common practise. 
Dual normally means two but not where the RFU make up the rules.............and then up to 10 in a match day squad with up to 3 loans.....

I don't know.
Report is in Wales online.

I expect it is very part time. An old head to help the young coaches there.
