And he took them back to the top of the Pro D2 last night with five kicks out of five. Great man!

Re: Munster 2023/2024 - Return of the Jedi????
Looks very light to only travel with 5 props, when one of them is Jager who is just a few weeks post knee surgery. The decision to release Keynan Knox mid-year looks increasingly baffling, and the only conclusion on Academy THP Darragh McSweeney must be that they don't rate him at all. Knox require...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Belated recognition for both Dan and JGP, but better late than never. One of the most important element of Leinster's overall development has been their employment of Community Development Officers. For over a decade we have had dedicated and experienced people employed in these roles supporting Clu...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
The string of Leinster 'good new' stories continue.
I almost wonder if they'll announce on Friday that we're going to sign a nephew of Ollie le Roux, who plays tight-head and is Irish qualified.
Just pure imagination.........but after the last 5 days, who knows?

My goodness but aren't new coaches getting very young? Like Guards I suppose.

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
The bookies have this as 1 to 2 points in favour of Lions. Don't know how they can quote any price without knowing the squad. That very point came up on last weekend's game when the Bookies Spread only changed by one point when the LAR team was announced without Dulin. It raised the question as to ...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
It is a remarkable vote of confidence in the players, coaches and the rugby culture of our Club, Leinster, that Jordie Barrett chose to spend his unique six-months sabbatical , with us.

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
Doris had his legs taken from under him. Happened on the far side of the ruck so I can understand that the picture didn't look good. One of Jenkins penalties was manufactured when he was cleared out onto the ball. Some of that was balanced by calls against them. I thought our discipline was general...

Re: European Champions Cup 23/24
Watching the Saint v Bulls game from Saturday evening, I was struck that it was for all the world a First Squad versus a Combined 2nd / Under 20 Squad who had travelled on myriad routes, with minimal training, to make the fixture. There was a great audience in Franklyn Gardens to appreciate the game...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
EPCR instruct on pricing and allocate tickets to each Club for sale / distribution. Historically, it has been very difficult for Leinster to influence EPCR in pricing policy.

Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Reviewing the Premiership table and Northampton results in the season thus far, following the World Cup, presents a very interesting picture. Six Clubs have conceded fewer points than the Saints, whilst three have scored more points than them. With ten wins from fourteen games, they lead the table, ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
At half-time, I thought that two Leinster players in particular were enjoying their contributions as much as we were enjoying their performances. Both Jordan Larmour and Tadgh Furlong have had recent days where their performances were more peripheral than centre stage and you felt for them as a Lein...

Loved, loved, loved yesterday. When you make yourself the jester and court the attention it’s hard to feel sorry for you when things don’t go your way. There of course might be some truth in the possibility of the toll of having to travel to and back from South Africa over the last two weeks having...

Re: Cian Healy - Legend
So Cian will get another chance to overtake RO'G in appearances and possibly contribute to getting us another shot in a final. Certainly no reason yesterday that he won't be the best option.

Re: 6 Nations (Women)
Absolutely delighted coming out of Aviva yesterday to hear the 6N's result against Wales. I look forward to watching it on the Player.
Well done to the entire Squad and Management. You deserved a win against Italy based on performance and it's great to finally get back on track.

Re: Ulster 2023/24
Murphy has a very serious challenge on his hands. Nothing like the necessary physicality he needs up front and pace alone isn't enough at the back. Doak certainly doesn't seem the answer at 10.
