Same report from GT in the IT says that Ringer, Keenan and Ross Byrne won't be travelling.

Hopefully he can show Ronan Kelleher how to dot the ball down over the try-line while he’s here.

Good to see James Culhane involved again.

He's at training today.

Don't know if this is pure speculation from Fanning but hopefully not. Everyone hoping @ChampionsCup get it right on ticket prices for Croker. Chances are hardy bucks heading for the Hill won't have to fork out more than €20 for the experience. Not a lot wrong with that.. https://x.com/BrendanFannin...

Gonna dissent from the agreed wisdom. We’re gettting to play in Dublin because of the “avarice” of EPCR in the first place. This ties in with Stephen Jones criticism in the times(he’s not the first). Home country advantage is a compromise EPCR make to cover themselves with attendances. We are I’d s...

Seem to recall that in the last two years some players have returned home after the first game.

Connacht repeatedly and successfully shooting themselves in the feet during the first half in Treviso. Conceded two of the sloppiest tries you’ll see for some time. A try just before half-time is just about keeping them in it.

HT 26-14

Today was really f%~king sweet

Will “Chopper” Connors.

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! Another good omen. Last time we faced the back-to-back champions at the Aviva we sent them home with their tail between their...

Croke Park confirmed for semi-final if we win this weekend.

La Rochelle's odds are drifting out with the bookies, who now have this as an 8 point game in Leinster's favour from 6 points yesterday morning. Heard all that before, the bookies have a habit of calling this match wrong Bookies only adjust odds based on bets received. Not true. They'll also adjust...

This would seem to suggest that every four years there will be no winner of the Champions Cup????

Jesus that is some serious ticket sales. I was thinking they would struggle to open all the upper tiers given the short turnaround. Could be a real atmosphere. If the game does sell out anyone any idea what that means roughly in gate receipts as far as I remember the qtr final revenue is more signi...

What are the recent games he has refereed us in? He's reffed Leinster four times in this competition. Includes away wins in Treviso, Montpellier and Connacht plus the huge win against Toulouse in the semi-final in 2022. To be fair Toulouse’s 6-2 split win that game for us. When it doesn’t work, it ...
