Leinster Rugby (caps in brackets): 15. Hugo Keenan (12) 14. Cian Kelleher (13) 13. Jimmy O’Brien (15) 12. Conor O’Brien (22) 11. James Lowe (41) 10. Ciarán Frawley (23) 9. Jamison Gibson-Park (86) 1.

I was listening to The Ruck podcast yesterday and Lawrence Dallaglio (Currently a director of Wasps) was saying that the current rules of Premiership salary cap state that a team being promoted from the championship must be compliant with the cap in the season they were promoted but also in the pre...

Surprised George Kruis is fit to play after that interview on Off The Ball.

Biarittz got 29 points in 06/07, nobody has gotten 30.

Top 2 in Ulster's group already settled as neither of the English teams can catch the other 2. I'm guessing Clermont 25 and Ulster 21/22. Exeter's group will likely only yield Exeter to the knockouts. Prob as a top 2 seed. Toulouse group the same. Just Toulouse. Likely 3rd seed. I fancy Northampton...

I would think rather than introduce home and away semi finals, finding a way of keeping teams interested in the competition even if they have lost the first couple of rounds would be better for crowds and general engagement. Maybe having a wild card round to get in the QF's instead of the home and ...

Leinster are ahead of Exeter on both tries scored and points difference, so right now we'd be first seeds.

Porter gets the 3 shirt on merit over a fully fit Tadhg and rightly so. Changing of the guard? That's going a bit far I think! When McGrath was starting games ahead of Healy it made Healy a better player. That's all that's happening here, Furlong will have to up his game to get the shirt back. Let'...

Thanks for the responses folks, I knew it wasn't as simple as they make it sound. I've started with the reduce idea, in the last year i've got the attic insulated and wrapped the outside too. Gone from E2 to C1 on the BER already, next steps are to get heating zones installed so i can run the rads i...

Would switching to a green energy supplier make much difference?

I mean practically speaking does it matter that one company says they sell 100% renewable energy, can they really guarantee that?

We will get an email today about it I believe. Hoping we have the option to buy a few extra too.

What about indigenous Leinster forwards not playing for Leinster:

Marty Moore
Jordi Murphy
Nick Timoney
Tadhg Beirne

Pft, who's got a DVD player these days.

No but seriously, I'd happily buy a download of any Leinster content.

Well as a fan (which makes every Irish player my employee if you think about it) I'm heartened that I now know that it was a neck injury which kept Leavy out on Saturday. I'm just glad Robert Kitson took a stand against the selfish (and rude) hoarding of players personal medical information, it cle...

Team for US: McGrath - Cronin - Porter Beirne - Henderson Ruddock - Conan - Murphy McGrath - Byrne Sweetnam - Aki - Addison - Conway Larmour Kilconyne - Scannell - Belham - Roux - Leavy - Cooney - Carbery - Conway Nah, surely Carbery will start this. He needs the gametime if he's second choice. Can...

I use the podcast addict app, I just searched for Molecast and was able to subscribe from there. I refreshed my subscriptions and it downloaded the latest episode when it was available.

It's back, I listened to the latest episode there on Saturday morning. It's veddy good.

James Lowe is nearly worth the price of a season ticket by himself.

1 try given, 2 disallowed and he made another which wasn't given. And I've never seen someone manage to catch the ball and make a tackle at the same time.
