Picked up two single tickets over the course of the day. It was serious Ctrl+F5 work, but we got there. Definitely worth trying to look for single tickets as opposed to pairs, you will pick up the odd one in 3 or 4. Fair play, I’ve been doing the same all day. No luck but was looking for a pair. Re...

Dunno. I'd be happy with 45,000. Not a chance. Plenty of Neutrals and they'll be cheering for plucky little LaRochelle I was thinking about half us, half LAR/Munster/the rest. If we can do better than that, happy days. I'll be astonished if there is less than 3/4s in blue. The golden tickets will h...

Given that I paid 19 quid for my ticket I am guessing i will need Oxygen. Heading via Paris and home direct

Just putting this out there, DMR, you are a hero for putting that together.

The additional flights out were Friday only.

Nick McCarthy is 3 inches taller and 8 kilos heavier than Osborne. He is taller than all our scrum-half panel - he is not Mile Philips, Terry Holmes or Conor Murray. There is so much debate here about most any player potentially leaving Leinster and especially if they go to Munster. But there was z...

We have to at least match Montpellier's result against them. If we can better that then well and good. A win would take the pressure to score 5 in Dublin off our backs, while also making it more likely that we would score 5 at home.

2/ He is appointed Head Coach with Leo exclusively taking over as forwards coach. This would have been straight forward and even logical a few short months ago, but since the debacle down in Munster and the ultimate humiliation of Axel Foley, a man he was already often compared to, there would undo...

Here's an article on the concept including a photo of the silly garb: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman_years It definitely has to do with travel. I know that for a fact. I've a German carpenter friend who did it. I thought it was part of her apprenticeship but it could have been at the en...

I'm all in favour of this, but I think in the short term, the only rationale for pumping 10m into a province is as a vanity / pr project. You could see the likes of JP, Denis O'B doing it in Leinster or Munster. I'm sure there are equivalents in Ulster (if they haven't been scared off by the Rory Mc...

I'd say Leo just loves every time that Nucifora opens his gob.
If you aren't helping the situation common sense says to shut up.

Amazing to see Ferg with best kicking stats

In fairness we were cr@p in 2009 losing to London Irish and we were terrible against Exeter in round one in 2012

Great selection. Says to the young players that the door has not now closed just because the internationals are back. On the McGrath over Boss, i have no issue on this. McGrath has had plenty of starts and has made a good case. Boss has experience that is helpful with quite a few younger guys, parti...

We will need to make a decent start to the league, while I'm all for ensuring that the young guys see some game time, I have no issue with Boss and Bent getting used. Sad for Ferg and Darce, but they will add a layer of strength in depth to the team. I'm starting to feel very hopeful about the year ...
