Re: La Rochelle v Leinster Sunday 3.15 TNT Sports

When was the last time we lost four times in a row to the same team? Toulon. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis five times in a row. That one could be very interesting if we meet them again and they win because we never played them the fifth time (yes I know everybody was assuming at the time we were go...

When was the last time we lost four times in a row to the same team? Xan will correct me but I can only imagine that it was Ulster in the amateur days.

Re: Champions cup draw …..

Carley wouldn't be one of my favoured refs at all - overly officious and likes to hear himself talk too much. I've obviously seen Brousset a few times, but don't have much recollection of him being honest. I can see we had him for some games against Bath and Northampton before, but don't recall tho...

JWT are still selling packages and appear to have access to tickets - it might be worth a call to them to see if they’d be prepared to sell tickets only.

Re: Leinster's Communications Problem

To be honest, I'd question the value of the website, or indeed, a website. They really only function as an interim backend for social channels now.

I think we should take players out of the Six Nations, the tournament that bankrolls the entire game in Ireland, to play a different sport in an event that no one in Ireland really cares about 1430 days of its four-year cycle. Definitely. At least four of the voices in my head think its a great ide...

Re: Dragons away Sunday 12th 1.15pm

In contrast, I don’t think Ben Murphy had a good half. I know it’s tough in the conditions, but he has knocked on at least three times at the base (you don’t see Rhodri Williams doing that). Also had a bad sliced kick to put us under pressure. He got away with the quick tap, so maybe harsh to ding ...
