Thanks guys! That's grand. Let's get him onboard so

To be honest I think it's a very telling article on ROG. In the week before the LAR game I kept reading the phrase "ROG is living rent free in Leinster supporters heads" (which for some may have had more then a small element of truth about it). However, It sounds from that article that Le...

and he has played plenty of rugby for Terenure, played leinster 19s and for ireland u19.

For those of you that know this stuff and have seen him in action, is he a talent worthy of this? I'm assuming he's an OH yeah?

“Exeter Chiefs and lock Jonny Gray have mutually agreed an early release from the club, with the Scotsman departing Sandy Park with immediate effect to explore other playing opportunities. The Scottish international has made 48 Chiefs appearances, scoring 10 tries. No mention of him coming here for...

Stormers v Leinster: Based on last week's display against the Lions there is little reason to believe that Leinster have any chance in this SA fortress. But straight away, one must take account of Ospreys great win in the Stormers den, previously an absolute fortress in the URC. Verdict Away win, b...

I liked what I saw of Murphy. I probably would have cut Foley (too injury prone) for him personally. I agree through that we couldn't carry 4 senior scrumhalves. Murphy to Conn is slightly strange though. The one thing they seem to have in spades down there are good and potentially good scrum-halve...

Yeah I'm normally optimistic (I was confident we'd beat LAR) but I'm writing this off. I think Leo / JN etc. had decided to throw this game under the bus from a long way back (similar to the bulls game last year) and I can't see anything changing now. I don't see them sending our a 'rescue squad' th...

3 points separates 5 to 11. squeaky bum time for Connacht & Ulster for the playoffs.

Whatever happens now, it's been a great league this year. Probably the best in memory. Hugely competitive.

Not sure the selection was so bad, the performance was just terrible. A total sh1t show. Leinster had 62% possession, 73% territory, 232 passes vs 86 for Lions, Lions made 164 tackles vs 67 for Leinster - yet Lions carried for 449m vs 370m for Leinster and scored 44 points vs 12. Just shows how bad...

Bigger consolation is LAR getting beaten by 1 by Castre

Mind you anther way of looking at that is that maybe LAR just aren’t very good right now. Might be worth some contemplation before the semi

To put it in coach speak “That was a humbling experience”

Think we might need to fly players in for next week instead of out

Playing for pride now. Guys need to show up big time in the second half. The game may be gone but you don’t want the score line running away from them

Ross Molony replaces Brian Deeny. O’Tighearnaigh on the bench.

Does effect the bench impact somewhat

For anyone who missed out there is a resale option so keep an eye on the TM website and you never know your luck

Paddy Power still have the Lions as 4 point favourites for this. I am famously rubbish at gambling but that seems a mad price for Leinster? I really dunno - Lions have been very good this season and the altitude is such a leveler (if that makes sense!) I'd have it as very tight, and could easily go...

Ah lets just bask in out sunshine for today. We can worry about that tomorrow.

Today's a good day for Leinster Rugby!
