Re: Rumour Mill

Barrett is a FB isn’t he? Don’t really understand why we’ve signed him as we have Keenan, Frawley and JOB who can play FB and Wing. Would have thought that we have a more pressing need at THP in the light of Alalatoa’s impending departure. He has played more time at fullback in his career but has b...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

I have to say that the scoring pass for Lowe’s first try looked about 2 feet forward on the telly. Perhaps there’s a touch of parallax error on the visuals but I was surprised that LAR didn’t challenge it to the Ref.

Quite the squall just now in Dublin City. Didn't think that rain was forecast particularly.

I believe our team bus arrives at 4pm. OLSC members who were distributing flags in seats this morning are going to get to the tunnel early to try and get in ahead of LAR supporters whose bus is due to arrive at 3.45pm.

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2

If we repeat that performance against LAR we’ll lose. We were an intercept try and a butchered Tigers pass away from being 22 all with 12 mins left. Our kicking game and our lousy defence of their kicking game completely undermined our momentum in the 2nd half especially. When we kicked we simply ga...

Reading their MB is extremely tiresome. They indulge themselves in epic levels of paranoia and whingeing.

I wonder what effect, if any, the heavy rainfall forecast for tomorrow may have on the performances of each team and on the outcome? Nervous about it!

Re: Ireland vs Scotland, Saturday, 4.45pm

Given that we’ve won 20 of our last 24 encounters with Scotland in all competitions I’d normally be confident, that if we have our best 23 players available and they play to the best of their ability, we should be able to get past the Scots in Lansdowne Road. However, our lads have just had the psyc...

This imminent match has banana skin written all over it. If I were SB I’d post Jamie Heaslip’s reported comments, that the only way England can win is if Ireland is reduced to 14 or 13 players, to the England dressing room wall. Indeed if the roles were reversed and England were the overwhelming fa...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Maybe if the people who watch and experience being in a rugby crowd week in week out actually had access to the stadium the atmosphere would be better. There certainly wasn't an atmosphere deficit when we played England in Croke Park in front of 80k people. This. Season ticket holder for Leinster, ...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

The French seem to have suffered a complete collapse in their collective confidence arising from the RWC QF defeat to South Africa. At the World Cup France beat Italy by 60-7. Currently, they're unrecognizable from that team. I think Galthie's position is getting more difficult by the day. I'd imag...

Re: 6N Ireland Wales - Dublin 2:15pm Sat 24 Feb

Why are many media outlets reporting that we're going for our 11th straight win in the championship? Did we not already secure that against Italy? We won 4 matches in 2022 and 5 matches in 2023. We didn't win 4 in 2022 consecutively though, we beat Wales in the opener then lost to France in Paris, ...
