He can be very proud to look back on an esteemed Leinster career with many wins and highlights. Fantastically skillful player. It had got me thinking of the provincial legends who have hundreds of caps for their province but none internationally. It's a rarity in Ireland. Denis Buckley is the main o...

Not McKenzie

A Kiwi presumably.

Barrett?? One could dream.

Joey Carbery?

propertymad wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 12:49 pm Not a tighthead .... an Ngatai replacement who can also cover flyhalf and back three

A perfect back to have for any 6-2 split

Is the McKenzie rumour getting legs again??

propertymad wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 12:44 pm Interesting rumour circulating about a very high profile signing coming up for Leinster

It'll annoy the hell out of all the right people

One would imagine a Tighthead.

I can't see where we need to fill a gap unless we're looking for a Ngatai replacement also

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...

In all the furore of Irish rugby legends showing their coaching mettle I think the work of SOB has flown completely under the radar. The aggression yet accuracy of the clear outs yesterday was unbelievable. They didn't get a single poach and that defies the law of averages because they went for a lo...

ROG has actively acted like a panto villain.

Panto villains get booed.

I don't know anything about their props except for Antonio obviously. Would they strike fear in any of our lads (or supporters)

Just looking at the stats, I felt at the time that we missed a few tackles (including a crucial one that lead to a try and yellow card by Jack Conan). Tackle success rate vs the Bulls was 86% which is the same as our URC seasonal average in which we are ranked 13th in the league. That's not good en...

Assuming no consistent Ireland starters I think we can still put out a very capable team Milne, Kelleher, Clarkson Molony, Jenkins Baird, Conan, Connors Luke, Ross Osborne, Ringrose Russell, Larmour, Turner Barron, Healy, Ala'alatoa, Deeny, Penny, Deegan, Murphy, Harry We know big Mike is off. This ...

Scotland have never had the front 5 to win consistently against us. When things aren't going our way against them (which has been a rarer sight in recent years) playing it tight and grinding a win is always a viable option. I never feel we need to play overly well to beat Scotland. With that front 5...

But also the Domestic fixtures and results page is just a basic embed from this site (which they advise you to look at on the landing page)

It's a very clunky layout and doesn't embed properly at all on mobile sadly

Thats weird, I get told page doesn't exist at the Domestic tables bit. Must be my server I'm not in Monkstown, I just think it very odd that the Branch is doing nothing to promote one of its main competitions. As for the clubs, I totally agree that they should be doing more to promote themselves in...

Jack O'Sullivan seems to have not grown since he was an U20. Just came through early and hit his max size. Not sure if Munster rugby have failed update his weight since he was U20 or if he is the same size as he was as an U20. I'd actually believe the second option. I was chatting to a person who w...

With the Leinster hat on I thought some of our young fellas were absolutely outstanding. Spicer has been playing like a player a year young but he made his heft felt a bit more last night and showed some encouraging signs. Hopefully next year he really comes into his own. Jack Murphy really does str...

Hearing TOB has a hammy injury. Probably a 4-6 weeker.

That front door ball from McErlean to Penny was absolutely wonderful.

I think De Klerk will have the edge on Kritzinger. He looks a better footballer and they'll like his versatility I think. De Klerk played a lot at 10 for Michaels didn't he? I remember seeing both at SCT (albeit a limited amount) and was impressed with de Klerk and less so with Kritzinger. My exact...

jamie george is very good friends with a former irish saracens player and has been to ireland a few times outside of rugby.. he doesnt hate the irish Jamie George was Peter O'Mahonys groomsman haha. He definitely doesn't hate the Irish. But probably has some level of guards up around fans given the...
