They are Legend t-shirts, is he not still a Leinster Legend? It would be a fitting tribute from the fans. Please make it happen.

I wholeheartedly endorse this sentiment.

He has been one of my favourites since he was just a kid with crazy hair and electric feet playing schools rugby. So much talent, so little luck with injury.

Best of luck to him for the future.

Rob Kearney is out again. Conway & Kilcoyne called in http://utv.ie/Sport/2016/03/14/Rob-Kearney-ruled-out-of-Scotland-clash-55741&utm_medium=twitter what is it with RK and hamstring injuries? I could be way off here but I think it traces back to the back injury he suffered in the Sportsgro...

Just had a look back over the photoshop-off. There was some fantastic work in there. I had also forgotten about simonno6's tattoo.

Did Isaac4leinster reinvent himself on here once he got his wish and Isaac came to Leinster?

Eddie Jones ushers in his bold new era in England rugby by........ making one change to the pack that started last years 6Ns. Launchbury for Attwood. Oh well he told Haskell and Robshaw to swap shirts... does that count? Shhhh, I don't think he wants anyone to notice that. Either he thinks himself ...

It appears that the Leinster A team have joined the Championship looking at the line up of the quarter finals: Game 1: Leinster 'A' v London Welsh Game 2: Yorkshire Carnegie v Moseley Game 3: Bedford Blues v Jersey RFC Game 4: Cornish Pirates v Doncaster Knights They should have a decent shot at win...

Guaranteed an English team in the final now with the way the quarter finals have lined up.

That Exeter/Clermont/Ospreys/Bordeaux pool has been quite something.

My brain may have short circuited during those last two matches trying to keep up with who was topping the group. I think I need a stiff brandy at this point!

Well that was a fairly dismal way to exit the competition. I'm sure people need a bit of cheering up after that so it would be rude of me not to share this absolute howler from Owen Farrell today: http://www.lerugbynistere.fr/videos/video-champions-cup--l-enorme-rate-owen-farrell-but-stade-toulousai...

Friday Rant! This weekend we have 5 Pairs of matches. Only one of these pairs is split between BT and SS the other 4 are either both on BT or SS! It really makes it hard to warm towards this new format. You would think they could trade one for one! This. So much this. It has also been irritating me...

Talk of him relocating his family to Ireland. Does that include Owen? Now there's a Farrell that would have an immeadiate, positive impact on the scoreboard. Maybe he's making sure Gabriel is Ireland qualified for when the time comes and he'll have one son playing for each country :lol: The most im...

We get to wipe the smile off Bruce Craig's face if we win.

Glad I stuck around for the second half. What a turn around by Ulster.

After Quinnie's Munster tirade last night, Tyrone Howe has just described Ulster as appalling. In fairness, he's not far wrong on the evidence of that first half.

I'm not sure I can watch a second half of that.

When I suggested that Farrell should go somewhere and prove his coaching ability I'm not sure the IRFU was what I had in mind :shock: It does rather smack of him wanting to get one over the RFU. I'd have thought he and Joe might both be a bit control-freakish to work together so it'll be very intere...

I'd like to see Best get the captaincy for this 6N personally. I've always had a lot of time for him. It may also be a good move for Joe to choose a captain who isn't from Leinster, so the fact that there is a strong candidate from Ulster is handy. As an aside I'd also echo LRIP's personal observati...

So, Rhys Priestland has now changed his mind about the sabbatical from international rugby:

I'd have loved to have seen the reaction from Mike Ford when Priestland dropped that little gem.

Sad to see him go but I hope the move works out well for him.

I was expecting him to leave at this stage, but...Worcester?? Didn't see that one coming.

Farrell snr will come straight in Merry Christmas Ulster in that case. Saracens are looking very strong at the moment. Them losing Gustard would certainly be good news for everyone else. wonder will McCall take him back/want/has enough clout now to dictate backroom staff? cant see them forgetting e...
