http://leinsterrugby.ie/newsroom/4680.php RUPA has announced the nominations for Irish rugby's ultimate accolade, the Bord Gáis Energy IRUPA Players' Player of the Year 2010... The award is one of seven which will be announced at the Bord Gáis Energy IRUPA Rugby Awards on Wednesday 12th May at Dubli...

when is the squad being named? they were training in the bowl in ucd today, did anyone wander down to see what kinda team we're looking at?

he's been out practising his kicking with richie murphy for the last week or two apparently. in the worst case scenario that girv, sexton and rob are all out we're probably looking at

15-nacewa
14-horgan
13-BOD
12-ferg
11-darce
10-berne
9-reddan
21-POD
22-o'malley/madigan/conway ???
23-Si.Keogh

Sounds like reasonable advice. I think at this stage Leinster are resigned to being without him. Berne will more than likely start but if his kicking is woeful, Drico will go to ten and Ferg will come on at centre (hence the experiement the other night!)[/quote] i actually had a dream last night tha...

Heard from a decent source that the surgeon who is dealing with Sexton and his Jaw injury had told him again not to play next week, as it could cause long term hassle, Make of this what you will, just passing on some information. Sounds like reasonable advice. I think at this stage Leinster are res...

he would be a major loss if he left after the world cup but I can't see him leaving for more than a season. I reckon he could well be Irelands next captain or at least captain at some stage so doubt he'll be gone for too long. also, he might have just said this to get some more money out of the unio...

just out of interest how many are going? I've been to tolouse twice before but can't this year because of college exams but I've got the car flag up and flags outside the house to make up for it!
C'MON LEINSTER

personally i think johnny will play but if he doesn't 9-reddan 10-berne 11-darce 12-ferg 13-bod 14-nacewa 15-kearney we simply must have a proven goal kicker on the pitch, if we win, it'll be by a small margin. i think berne is a good player, he is a poor kicker and poor defensively though. shaggy a...

it was right in front of me, he was making a tackle and got a knee in the face acidentally. it sort of looked like he spat a tooth out but i'd have thought there would be blood if that were the case

absolute madness leaving mcfadden out..i just don't get it, he performs every week, this could seriously make his mind up about where he plays his rugby next year, stupid by cheiks.
very good starting line up

Good to see Hines in, even at 6. Toner was an interesting selection ahead of O'Kelly. That is one massive pack of forwards. Any pack would struggle to handle that power. Feeling a little better now, though Munsters lineout shold be solid enough regardless. For me this has become a defining season f...

why has cheiks gone for girv again on the wing? he is not a winger, he doesn't have the pace, his talents are suited at full back. simon keogh should have started

fair play cheiks best of luck

pretty surprised bowe got the irish nomination, if anyone i would have said jamie

Well done Clongowes. Well deserved. You really are our bogey team. Our first SCT was in '76 and in '78 we reached the semis against CWC when you beat us in a squeaky bum win before winning the cup. Then you took us in our first and second finals in close games in '88 and '91. You allowed us '07 bef...

JCT final march 21st in donnybrook; repeat of last year St.Michaels vs Terenure.. michaels 4th final in a row and terenure's 2nd, strong senior cup teams ahead for the two schools you would imagine

sunday tribune had a small piece on the final, a few lines from greg mcwilliams and noel murray...looks like both teams are sticking with the same starting xv's

i lost mine last year, you just need to email the branch, i think the tickets girl sinead... you might need the season ticket number if you can get that. when i lost mine they posted me out a ticket for every game left in the season

St Michaels operate under the Holy Ghosts' strict code of conduct - foul play of any kind is not tolerated (especially gouging) and if you get a straight red, you get expelled. . Macken used to have the J's rip up opposition jerseys back in the 80's! :lol: macken was supposedly a bit of a psycho wa...

ross needs to be picked for ireland against wales..he is the best irish scrummager in the country and carried brilliantly, so far ahead of hayes and buckley.. court and ross are the future tight heads, kidney needs to wake the f%~k up
