Re: Big in Japan
Crowds are also soaring in Japan. I recently seen that Osaka had almost 10k in attendance a couple of weeks ago. (They play in the 2nd division!)

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
Well the bookies seemed to be confident they weren’t good enough to win. I was surprised they were so bad though. I think that's the point though. The bookies read it the same as me. I never thought the team wasn't good enough to win though. I thought fluidity would be a leveler, with the heat and ...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Sounds like there will be a few returns from Saints fans, but, they will be snapped up quickly. If true, that's almost 200,000 tickets sold in three weeks to see Leinster play against Leicester + La Rochelle + Northampton. That is truly incredible. Are we on course for one of our best seasons, aver...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
It's sold out Did Leinster announce this or is it just via ticket master site? @rugbykino : They opened upper tiers about 20 minutes into the public sale. Last closed area was the Nally Stand, that got opened up around midday. All gone now. Sounds like there will be a few returns from Saints fans, ...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
did the outrage over central contracts start after Sheehan got his CC or after Barrett chose to come to Ireland, instead of France or Japan for his sabbatical? There was some bitching and moaning about Sheehan (not because of Sheehan, no one will say he doesn't deserve it) but for the effect it has...

Re: Rumour Mill
It's JB - short term contract next december Mixed feelings about this. Amazing player but we need a tighthead and any foreign signing makes me worry we won't get one. Also I worry that we will lose players. I don't understand this signing at all. I perusme this means we are losing a few lads and th...

Re: Croke Park to host major Leinster rugby games
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...

Re: European Champions Cup 23/24
Bulls leave 11 Springboks at home for crunch Champions Cup play-off - Seems that early report was correct I think a big factor in this is the beating Leinster put on them in the RDS a few weeks back. They would have felt they'd a very good chance of beating Northampton, but wouldn't have relished a...

Re: Champions cup draw …..
The schedule for this competition is absolutely bonkers, not only do we have less than a week to sell tickets, La Rochelle have to travel back from SA to Dublin to play the QF. They really need to find a way to get these last 16 games done before the 6 nations.

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2
Little bit of arrogance from Leinster to turn down 3 right in front of the sticks just before Conan drops it over the line. Kick the 3 and it’s a 3 score game and game over I agree we should have taken the 3 but I'm not sure it's necessarily arrogance. It seems to just be the way the modern game is.

Re: A whiff of Cordite
That’s more stark. My goal for this season was always to win the URC. I didn’t see us winning a Heineken cup in a World Cup year. While our squad is in a better place than I expected, I can’t see us beating La Rochelle I’m afraid. They look back to their destructive worst, and we can’t live with th...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
He doesn’t call them a failure. But it’s hard to describe them as a success, in the absence of trophies. The left wing this week he said anything apart from a HEC win would be failure. Different language the same narrative. That’s more stark. My goal for this season was always to win the URC. I did...

Re: Croke Park to host major Leinster rugby games
I think I saw somewhere that the GAA charge 750k for it - just taking that as a rough estimate, it means the first 30k tickets are paying for rent. We're not generating >30k sales for a URC QF Not sure that figure is correct, remember hearing comments the time Eddie Hern refused to pay the addition...

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2
I don’t agree, Harry has been considerably better than Ross this season; and particularly in the big games. The greater athleticism that you sort of casually dismiss, is a major part of the significant difference. As too is Harry’s passing accuracy and speed of passing. In my opinion he’s now a bet...

Re: Rumour Mill
I can't imagine you have the same scenario in football where young promising players at Man City are being constantly egged on to move to Leeds or Brighton or something. Man City currently have 9 senior players out on loan I'm a Liverpool fan and we regularly lend out players to help them develop. ...
