Re: Leinster v Leicester - Aviva Stadium - Good Friday - 8pm

Why are so many Irish rugby fans embarrassed about budgets? Irish provinces have large budgets because Irish rugby is really well run financially with a completely integrated pyramid system that benefits and grows the game from the grassroots through to the international game. We worked for it, we ...

Shame they didn't avoid each other.

Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens

It could also be that the two main shareholders are trying to take control of the company on the cheap. The main shareholders interest increases by nearly 14% for a £5m investment. That puts an approx valuation of £36 m on the company as it stands. It may be a fair figure or it may not. Were the oth...

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level

Luke Fitz podcast was fairly leinster heavy, not sure many on here would like what was said though. It was dreadful alright, they think we have to be weary of the best teams like Toulouse, Stormers, Saracens and La Rochelle.
