Good interview with Barry Daly on The 42.

Leading try scorer in Leinster's double-winning 2017/2018 season. That's some achievement!!!

Said it many times that I'm all for us pushing the envelope and don't mind seeing mistakes when we try risky passes or offloads because we need to do it year round to be ready for the big games in Europe (and for Ireland) but I think we've lost sight (at senior and A level) of the need to get our b...

Excellent performance by Bill Johnston.

p.s. Can I take it, that any further discussion about the shortcomings of the Ulster Academy is now moot?.....

FT: 37-14. Can't win them all, I guess...

Another intercept for Ulster.....

Hawkshaw with the extras: 16-7

Maith fear, Jack Dunne!!

Ref pulls the plug with Leinster on the Ulster line and 90 seconds to go? We wuz robbed!!!

Leinster D in our own 22 is top notch. Every other part of our game - meh....

Having gotten off to a patchy start i.e. at the end of the 2019/2020 season, I think Allende has been very good for Munster - not just in terms of playing ability, but also in terms of leadership and commitment. Along with Healy, Casey, Daley and Larkham's coaching starting to bear fruit I think he ...

LOL!!! Fingers crossed!!!

played a leading role in the campaign of calumny - "anti-Semitism"- against Jeremy Corbyn in order to prevent any chance of him becoming prime minister via the ballot box. The leader of an anti-semitic party (as declared by the independent from UK government Equality and Human Rights Commission) wa...

For decades I read the IT & The Guardian religiously. The latter has sunk dramatically in my estimation since the Snowden revelations, when they caved in to MI6, essentially divested themselves of their best nat-sec writers such as Ian Cobain and Richard Norton-Taylor, stabbed Julian Assange in the ...

Great, something to look forward too! Full strength sides too which is brilliant. Side I go with: Healy, Cronin, Porter, Ryan, Toner, Ruddock, VDF, Doris, McGrath, Sexton, Lowe, Henshaw, ROL/JOB, DK, Keenan Dooley, Kelleher, Furlong/Bent, Baird, Connors, JGP, Ross, Larmour I wonder will we try to f...

It's official. Courtesy of the Leinster twitter feed: MUN vs LEI, 23. January, Thomond Park, KO 19.35.

It's the Irish times. Honestly it's rugby coverage is the least of its worries. They've maintained an obsequious cheerleading of the government all the way to the highest rate of infection in the world, decided that illegal government leaks are just fine. There are lots of fine young journalists in...

To backrower8:

I think you've made your point most cogently - not just now but also in the past. The danger you are pointing out is real, IMO. I'm sorry, if you feel people on here are dismissing your warnings à la Cassandra. I certainly don't.

In the light of the general negative tone of this thread I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to the players and staff of Leinster Rugby and Ulster Rugby for delivering such an engaging and committed contest on a grim Winters night in the aul' town and during a pretty bleak period for humanity. ...

Murray Kinsella reporting the same at the42.ie. Postponement of Heino fixtures could possibly see Leinster travelling to Limerick to play Munster next weekend.
