I’d get rid of the rest of that post if I were you.
What was this? It's been edited/removed. A genuine transfer rumour or something else.
It was edited for good reason

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster

That’s not fair, being upset and posting online doesn’t make someone a scumbag. Would appreciate if you could rescind that comment I echo the view of OSS on your description of that Munsterfans poster. Expressing his or hers opinion on attendance at Ireland games doesn’t mean he or she is a scumbag...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster

Priceless stuff. Leinster replace Ngatai with Barrett so.... Waterfordlad I've been a member of Irish Rugby Supporters Club since 2008, mainly for access to tickets/events. No more, I'm done. The power of one. It's a small thing at 50 euros a year but I'm quitting on principle. I'll still support M...

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

It would mean sending a bigger squad and paying for extra flights. Not everyone can afford a week in Fota to save 6 hours travel time. Jenkins has played 3 weeks in a row, 15 games this season and with Ryan gone we're tighter at lock. The only upside is that he'd be glad of a trip home. If we don't...

Re: Rumour Mill

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 I heard Antoine Frische may be finishing...

Can we have two threads next time? 1. Leinster v Northampton - Rugby only. No ROG, no Munster, no commentary on journalists or social media comments unless and only to the extent that they refer to tactics, selections etc. 2. Leinster v Northampton - Whatever. ROG, Munster, commentary on journalist...

Yeah- but seemingly no one else’s it… or TV recordings have it on tape. It does, however, explicitly record that he’s not fond of the notoriety, which answers the question asked, no? Who , other than just possibly a sociopath, would actually be fond of notoriety? Doesn’t really answer anything. All...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

Yea but my point is that Leinsters influence on the national team was less. They had never won a Heineken Cup, they had maybe 4 or 5 starters. Munster had probably 9-10 starters for Ireland. Now we have ROG who is hated by the team with a dozen Ireland starters. A lot bigger issue than Deccie. I ge...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

I don't really buy this idea of ROG as a cheque book coach. He joins La Rochelle ahead of the 2019-20 season with Jonno Gibes as his Director of Rugby. Then he becomes top dog for the 2021-22 season. He certainly hasn't signed most of their best players. Botia and Atonio are over a decade at La Roc...
