Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster

They didn't have a game last weekend. Hysterical fans gonna hysteria. I wouldn't take them seriously. Rowntree is creating positive vibes and actually won a trophy, but results otherwise have been poor. He's immune. Anger has to be routed elsewhere. fair points. We worked hard, very hard, at the ea...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster

I think a lot of the current success we have which as mentioned many times here goes back over 15-20 years is attributable to Mick Dawson. Drop him at Munster instead of Leinster 20 years ago and things might look very different despite the inherent advantages we have as a province. Unfortunately t...

Thanks Ronk and Naraic, just never noticed before although I've certainly seen that split a lot more the last few years in squads. I only went back to check as couldn't remember McGrath on the bench. Was wondering was larmour covering scrum half. Obviously not though. I've really enjoyed watching l...

From Matt Williams in the Times: "While it is part of Leinster’s culture to not publicly talk about their passion, unlike Munster and La Rochelle, it is a very foolish team that deceives themselves into believing that their passion is superior to Leinster’s. A trap that many Munster teams of t...

In a 6 2 split is the extra back usually 23? Thought for a second VDF was covering full back.

Last time there was a semi final up for grabs in croke park the quarter went okay for us if you want to look for tenuous signs. The semi and actual final weren't bad either!

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Molecast dropped Every time one of ROG's records falls to Cian Healy or Johnny Sexton, I think "Great. I think I'll mention this." Had me howling. Was a bit of amen brother from me when I heard that :D Love that the molecast is released so consistently these days. Is part of my routine no...

Re: Leinster vs Bulls, March 29th, 7.35pm

That was a great performance against a quality team. Looked at the backline at one stage.... Harry,Jamie,Turner,Russell,Larmour...and we cut them open. Young lads are all very promising. Osbourne is totally here to stay. Larmour would be a great full back but he is really poor at catching the ball....

I wouldn't say Deegan is out of contention for Europe. He's doe his bit and I think proven himself again. Now the other are being given a chance to bed back in. If they don't go well he could be back in. Maybe I'm just naieve though.

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Not sure this is the right thread but did anyone watch Netflix documentary Full Contact. Was the greatest but for me the thing I noticed that Andy Farrell and Steve borthwick came across as decent where all the others were a bit less so. Not that that's indicative of their managerial ability or even...

Conan was off his feet - there's no ruck to require release.
Does that matter if conan doesn't attempt to play the ball he completed the tackle and tacklee didn't release?
