Would any of the Ulster Squad improve the Leinster Team? Would any of the Ulster Squad improve the Leinster Match Day Squad? I would suggest not. But a number of those players make Irish match day squads and a number of them have made significant contributions to our success over the last 12 months...

Now just hear me out on this. It may seem a bit controversial to some. Did anyone ever think that maybe just maybe Dan McFarland IS a good coach maybe even a very good coach. And it is not his fault the team is poor but in fact it's the players themselves that are just poor players. The likes of Fer...

The regular season game was a sell out. Only 14k today. Disappointing TBH. Can't say its a finance issue, we're probably the richest fanbase in world rugby. And I don't want any Tw@t coming on here givin me sh!t about that last sentence. Its probably true, and if not its damm close. You can see Leo...

There's a bit of a bizarre thing happening in those UK papers covering the Glasgow Munster game this evening. Glasgow seem to be of the opinion that there is some 'hatred', their word, between the two teams, with some interviews around that topic. Now, whilst there is a rivalry between Munster and ...

Ah, my fault. The AIL is tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No bother. Didn't want to miss anything today. ;-) it wouldn’t have been a bad idea to have it as a double header with the Leinster v Sharks match. Next year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Great idea.

Nice to have the AIL Final on in the Aviva too. Two Dublin clubs; it might get the crowd in earlier also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Forgive me but earlier for what? Ah, my fault. The AIL is tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No bother. Didn't want to miss anything today.

Forgive me but earlier for what?

If only Connacht could pass and catch.

Imagine what they could produce.

I can't wait to hear his interview.

When we walk out onto the pitch for the Final we will be doing so for the 196th time. And that will be more than any team has ever played in this competition. Giving one of my recent posts a bump because I think it is very significant and I got no responses when originally posted a few nights ago. ...

Some really impressive figures. Fair play to the URC and to Leinster. The value of the Leinster v Munster match in the Aviva is really highlighted in the figures. Minus that game the Leinster average drops to less than 15k. Still a very respectable figure on its own. Munster must really look to do ...

Don't want the HEC final thread to be up there on its own! We have the small matter of a massive QF in a week's time. Hard to know if we will change too many. I'd personally start Jenkins and Baird anyway. I'd also like to see Penny get a start and possibly Connors on the bench. Maybe one or two ot...
