Re: Darcy: Schools system seems to be coaching the flair out of Leinster’s backs

Any player I have known personally or anecdotally (particularly back 3) who played with that flair and game breaking potential style tended to gravitate to a type. Their personality matched their ability. They tend to be laid back, less regimented, maybe took life a bit less seriously. Look at Lowe...

Re: Leinster V Stade Francais, Dublin | Sat, 13 Jan 2024, 17:30

Oi lads (and ladettes and hermaphrodites) Stade fan here, coming to Dublin on Friday for a bash of music and rugby. Before the season I could talk to our coach who said "Europe is important". Alas the "competitive" team we sent to Sale was properly swallowed by the Sharks and th...

Re: New contracts for coaching ticket

With Goodman confirmed gone I would like to see Noel McNamara come back.

Would Richie Murphy be an option?

Re: Leinster's Communications Problem

I don't think the issues being described here are unique to Leinster. In general rugby isn't an especially interactive experience for fans. In the early 2000s I actually think rugby was doing great. The impact of Living with the Lions in 1997 was huge and I think teams who won would make the odd DV...

Re: RG Snyman to move to Leinster

By the sound of things on t'internet it might be better for all concerned if he just came up now. There's talk of wanting to send him on Gardening leave :shock: If they want him to go on Gardening leave I'm sure one of the Dublin based AIL clubs wouldn't mind him playing for them for free :lol: :lo...

Also - while the stats section of the match report from Sale is currently blank - the placeholders would suggest they plan to put some actual informative data in there. Rejoice!!

Re: Leinster's Communications Problem

Delighted. Their old website was a truly subpar offering. Pages far too slow to load and a really unattractive layout. One of the most maddening glitches was if a player was yet to play for Leinster this season - you were unable to filter by previous seasons as the display wouldn't let you unless th...

Re: A whiff of Cordite

One Munster fan in La Rochelle suggested Leinster’s win was a little like one of those by the men in red over the years. It was meant as a compliment, and maybe Sunday’s win will further convince that Leinster can win ugly as well as beautiful. But that’s bull really and insulting to the teams of t...

Re: Leinster v Sale Sharks RDS Sat 16th 5.30 RTE

lowe took several weeks off after the rwc.. so he probably needs to get into shape.. If hes just getting back into shape would we not be seeing him in training Of course we would? Where else would he be? Presumably needs to build up and hit markers for match fitness. He's still a squad member so as...

Re: Leinster Squad 23-24

sh!t timing for him... not that there is ever a good one. But a procedure on a shoulder injury would imply months. He'd do well to get himself into the shop window for the 6N which is a massive shame as he'd be tailor made for the 23 shirt right now. Closer to home a massive shame we don't get to se...

Re: "Hype Man" Mike McCarthy

Anyone that's been to the last two matches would have experienced Mike McCarthy putting on his hype hat, talking about Dev Toner a bit, and working with Leo the Lion to get the crowd going. The viking clap isn't ours, but it was a bit of craic and the kids enjoyed it. I'm sure the traditionalists w...

Re: Leinster v Munster Aviva Sat 6.30

The URC needs to sort the level of refereeing quickly. For the biggest attendance of the regular season get the best referee available, someone like Amashukeli. If the IRFU are mandating this game has to have an Irish referee for referee development purposes (& they seem to be) they should rehi...

Re: Leinster v Munster Aviva Sat 6.30

Why did we kick the ball back to Munster from an attacking lineout on 78 minutes? The same reason all smart teams defending a narrow lead do when nearing the end of the game. It's incredibly difficult to keep the ball for 2 minutes. You're essentially asking the ref to ping you for a sealing off pe...
