Would definitely subscribe, but the lack of a smartTV app and instead having to cast to the TV instead means I’ll likely just stick to the RTE and TG4 (ugh) televised games

Bit worried about how well their scrum did against us.
Our season effectively comes down to how we do in the two biggest games left - the qtr final v Saracens and the league game away to Cheetahs

Perfect result.
Roll on next week

IRFU will force us to play our strongest possible team, even though it’s in our interest to lose this game.
If both us and “Munster” make it to the HCup final then they would have a pro14 playoff game to play the week before whereas we would have a 2 week gap.

Obviously you’d want Sexton in the team but Byrne is the form outhalf in the country at the moment so not worried at all about him coming in

Hopefully everyone just takes it easy in this match.
The most important thing is that both teams emerge with no injuries or suspensions ahead of next week

Yes, from what I’ve been told, Saturday is likely to be his last game for Ireland.
Which is part of the reason he is starting ahead of VdF

Not ideal from a Leinster point of view but great to see Ross Byrne stepping in and firmly establishing himself as the clear 2nd choice outhalf in the green jersey now too. Hopefully he won’t be forced to move south next season Too early for that assessment on the available evidence. But a good ent...

I understand that this game was played at a neutral venue, but given that it was a Leinster home game can anyone explain why there was a giant munster flag flying before kickoff?

Hilarious TBF, Tommy Bowe in at the deep end, but he did OK.
I'd be more likely to watch Eir's coverage than not after watching that.
Different.

A massive upgrade from having to watch on TG4 anyway

Munster have been very fortunate there compared to what they could have had

Hearing rumours from reliable sources that the Leinster Academy is to be rebranded as The Official IRFU Academy Programme

Nice to see local Ballsbridge business honouring the great man

Looking forward to seeing Leinster taking to the pitch as 4 time European champions, particularly with munster giving them a guard of honour

Only one team in this at the moment. Ref keeping it tight so far.
Leinster by 20

Very poorly ref’d so far

On the upside, it’s great that we secured first place in the conference with two games to spare

Kickoff time is actually incorrect.
It’s 14.05 GMT (15.05 IST)

Ludicrous suggestion for either of them to go.
Their development is clearly much better served in the Leinster setup, even if gametime is limited.
Carbery would have played a lot more too if he hadn’t been injured for most of the season.
