Babbling 'brook

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!

very strong line up.

Definitely good enough for 5 pts, would be amazing if we could pick up 1npts v stormers after main guys head home after lions game

Not according to PP's anyway. They have Lions at 4 point favorites.

Great to see Charlie back. Strong team no doubt. Hopefully strong enough to get the win. Won't be easy though. Lions are strong on their own patch especially.

70k Gone! map says different im guessing northampton allocation plus GAA premium tickets. Look mate, I'm only going by what Kathy Perry told me and she's never lied to me yet :D https://twitter.com/leinsterrugby/status/1781274034073718942?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
