Played a lot for ABs at 12.

What an odd signing.

It's a grey area. Lowe loses the ball forward so it satisfies the requirements to be a knock on (by Lowe) If you see it as Gibson Park juggled and recovered a pass that had been handed the it's okay. I'm not sure to what extent both options were considered during review. TMO reviewed. Said it was p...

Do you think that ROGs antics and his standing with of Leinsters fans (and you would assume players) will hurt any future chances of being a future Irish coach? I, for one, would certainly hope so. Thats the vibe I would think a lot of people including influential people will have. A bit too anti-e...

I’m seeing online today a raft of people calling out Leinster fans for booing ROG and then referring to his years of service as Irelands 10 as if this should make him untouchable. F*ck them. They were the same Munster Fans cheering on LaRochelle. If it wasnt this it would be somthing else. F*ck the...

So the big question from that game is stick or twist on Osborne/ringer? Three weeks is a long time, lets see whos fit, but I dont see how you can drop Osbourne. He's been absolutely class. I do think there is scope to run a 5-3 vs saints so there is roon on the bench. Ngatai and O'Brien could well ...

it's not BS. I vividly remember Toulouse fans explaining why they were cheering for Lyon in the challenge cup final in Marseille....ditto for Leinster on the Saturday. I was chatting with a Toulouse fan the day of last year's final, he was gutted we lost. Said he sees us as their great rivals in Eu...

Yep. There is no way Toulouse fans will be cheering for Leinster. Not a chance.

Happy with that selection. Glad we went big, glad we went with a 6-2. There are risks in it, but I'm glad they are taking those risks.

JGP would go to the wing

2nd behind Danty or Botia? Bourgarit is a huge loss though, hes been big for them in last few games against us.

I'd love to see us pick a side to counter their size. JJ at lock, Baird, Doris and Conan back row. Go after their strengths, try to take those away from them and see what else they have.

I think you'll find, if you try hard enough, that the match last year didnt actually happen.

Prefer Dickson over Carley to be honest.

Jesus that is some serious ticket sales. I was thinking they would struggle to open all the upper tiers given the short turnaround.

Could be a real atmosphere.

Yeah fair point that.

or just aware that we are not the team we were last year and havent put back to back performances in all year.

We should be, but we are not.

LaRochelle will be laughing to themselves watching that performance

The left wing this week he said anything apart from a HEC win would be failure. Different language the same narrative.

We've won only one out of the last seven competitions we've entered. Munster and a sweater factory works team have won trophies more recently than we have Yep, something we are all painfully aware of. Would you consider each of those seasons a failure though like Ruaidhri does? Not looking to get i...

Ruaidhri O’Connor: Leinster have become Europe’s big underachievers – they have to win the Champions Cup this year Ruaidri is jsut re-hashing the same oul shite he did last year. Leinter are the best team in the world and if they fail to win everything they are losers. No mention of how good the Fr...
