Re: A whiff of Cordite
and others are looking at the collection of slights (your word) as more than the sum of their parts. When they are consistently repeated as gospel, actual truth gets lost and the accepted nbarrative becomes whatever is shouted loudest and most frequently. But they are not repeated by commentators c...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
+1 THis is precisely the issue But DOB never made any such claim on funding. His apparent crime was a bad joke! True but his quip feeds the narrative. Narrative is a dangerous thing. A couple of example, the continuously demeaning of the Celtic league. The ECR came into existence because of Leinste...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Go easy signs off rte programme with “Leinster have the money Munster have the points” and O’Callaghan contradicts everything he said at start of programme about Munster not able to compete financially. That said delighted to see Bulls drop 4 points and they will miss Goosen for some games. Focking...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
bank holiday weekend helps too, I think. Munsters' legendary travelling fans helped increase the heineken cup profile & prestige in the early days but this croke park sell out brings it to a new level. 200,000 tickets sold over just three games, within three weeks, to watch Leinster play sets a...

If Leinster or any other province generate a surplus are they obliged to hand it or a large % of it over to tge IRFU.

Whither the "The Fields of Athenry" for this one.
The LAR lads won't really get it although they're probably getting singing lessons as we post.

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
Thats a pretty incendiary appointment considering that Dickson was one of the officials abused by Jonny after a match between these teams last year. Not only was JS banned but Leinster were fined €7,500 over the affair. This appointment puts Dickson in a pretty invidious position and piles totally ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
Ref management has become part of the game nowadays. Rule number 1 - Do not molest or tackle the ref at half time. Rule number 2 - Most refs want to enjoy the games they ref. Rule number 3 - Be respectful, make your point and just as importantly listen to his message. Ignore what he says at your per...

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2
I think both Harry and Ross are fine players and I don't really have a preference for one over the other. But, and lets be honest here, are we not arguing over what our favourite shade of magnolia is? It's not as if we're arguing the difference between two entirely different but equally brilliant p...

Re: Rumour Mill
Right had quick listen to it at approx 38mins on their latest podcast. They say look at the depth of Leinster bench, there’s talk of Kelleher potentially moving on with Sheehan ahead of him. No mention of IRFU or any detail. They even say maybe he goes to Ulster. His dad is from Cork. Unlikely he's...

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2
The only or most obvious flaw in Osbourne's game was that he went into contact too high and got held up in the subsequent maul. He and the coaches seemed to have solved that issue with no detrimental impact on his effectiveness.

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2
Baird is a great player but if we were seriosly thinking of playing him at SR then he needs serious game time in that position. A season at least. Parachuting him into the SR for the odd game simply won't work. Like every position in rugby there is a set of techniques and muscle etc required that ar...

Re: The quickening 2024
Thanks Johng.
This looks like being the tightest run in, in a long time.
BPs picked up or dropped look like being the ultimate decider. For example a 4-1 loss against the stormers would be a great result for us.

Re: Leinster vs Bulls, March 29th, 7.35pm
Two strong sides named, although we look a bit stretched in the 3/4s, particularly when you look at the gas of Williams, Moodie, KLA and LeRoux. The back rows look evenly matched so I think it’s the half backs who will have to win it for us by controlling field position and tempo. Fascinating match...

Re: Leinster vs Bulls, March 29th, 7.35pm
I'm also very curious to see how Jamie Osborne fares at this level. I think we already know Osbourne can do it at this level. He has a few European starts under his belt, most notably at home vs Racing last season, and played the full 80 vs Gloucester away too. Maybe a strong Bulls team is a step u...
