Stephen Myler will be my guru but I want his place, says JJ Hanrahan

JJ Hanrahan has fired the first warning that he will be snapping at the heels of Stephen Myler next season.
Hanrahan will join Northampton this summer in his first move away from his beloved Munster.
The former Ireland U20s star turned down an improved three-year contract at Munster to join Saints after feeling trapped behind Ian Keatley for the No.10 jersey.
But he faces a major task on his hands if he is to oust stalwart Myler, right, at Franklin's Gardens.
Hanrahan said: “The decision to leave Munster was purely about rugby and my ambition.
“Stephen Myler is very much the main man at Northampton and has been for the last eight years. He's one of their all-time leading points scorers and cap holders, so I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible from him. He's going to be someone I stick to. I'll be like a sponge around him, trying to take it all in.
“But professional sport is all about competition. Everyone wants to have a crack at each other and, unfortunately, it can be dog eat dog at times. All I can do is try my best and see what happens.”
JJ Hanrahan is in Georgia with Emerging Ireland who have won the Tbilisi Cup even before today's final game against their hosts kicks off.
However, the fly-half, nominated for Junior World Player of the Year just two years ago, is hoping to be a hit in England this summer in the colours of Northampton, rather than Emerald, after writing off his World Cup chance as slim.
Not that the Kerry-born fly-half will stop trying as he aims to impress Joe Schmidt in Tbilisi today.
He said: “It is everyone's dream to play at the World Cup but this year it is a long-shot for me, if I'm honest.
“Of course, I will keep trying. I will try my best and wave my hand in the air for selection, but it is out of my control after the game. Hopefully, a few of the guys out here can get on that plane.”
The 22-year-old has already pencilled in three weeks of back-packing around northern Spain with friends. Then he packs his bags for Franklin's Gardens and the English Premiership.
Hanrahan said: “I'm excited and nervous. I've spent all my life in and around Kerry and Limerick. It's where my friends and family are and all I know.
“But a massive reason for going is to experience something new. It's a new club, culture and competition.”
Ronan O'Gara branded the loss of such a young talent as a major warning to Munster and Irish rugby as a whole.
But Hanrahan hopes the move could even pave the way for more international recognition.
He said: “You can see the way the Aviva Premiership is going with the players coming in and teams getting stronger. The competition is getting so strong every week, even when the international players are away.
“So I'm excited to test myself at that level and see if I am able to develop.
“It will be a big learning curve for me but it will be a great way to improve my game and become a better player.”
