Connacht A play Leinster A next Saturday at 13:00 Will be streamed online.. given injuries this should be interesting team selection, maybe something like this: 1. Hanan 2. McKee 3. Vakh 4. Ryan? 5. McCarthy 6. SOB 7. Hernan 8. Soroka 9. Foley 10. Corkery 11. Smith 12. Osborne 13. O'Reilly 14. Come...

Regardless of the result this weekend, leinster will have to rotate in this game, hopefully we will see Dan Sheehan, James Ryan, Scott Penny, Caelan Doris, Harry Byrne, Ciaran Frawley, Tommy O'Brien back starting for this. Hope not. When you have your foot on your enemy's throat, you don't release ...

Brain injury does not care about your (or my) disappointment. I don’t really know what that has to do with it, all I’m saying is that for the senior players it would be nice to get an estimate of when they will return as you often see with the other provinces updates. It's up to the players, if the...

Delighted for Vakh, hope to see him in the rainbow cup but disappointing to not even get an update on Ryan considering he would be expected back by now and it’s such a huge game. Don’t think even an initial date for ringer has been announced in theses “updates”, although I heard 4-6 weeks through ot...

Wow - reading tonight that there was a suspected COVID case in the Wasps squad on Friday with one player being isolated. EPCR were notified and following discussions the match was finally given the go ahead about one hour before kick off. The player then tested negative today however, considering t...

Yep, this is going to be a mighty battle. I think the winners of the competition may come from this game. Side I'd go for, assuming we have Ryan back and JGP fit (fingers crossed). I assume Doris won't be back. Healy, Kelleher, Furlong, Toner, Ryan, Rhys, VDF, Conan, McGrath, Sexton, DK, Henshaw, R...

Anybody else notice the countdown timer to the next match says 5days 11hrs in Sandy park on the Leinster app. Didnt see times officially announced yet but looks like Saturday

So now the reason that Munster lost is that Joy Neville was afraid to tell the ref that Andrew Porter should have been given a red card. It’s gas Wasn’t even cited so move on Last time they lost to us they were blaming the ref too, they are certain it was the refs fault yesterday. Maybe it’s not al...

Looks like they will be spending the next 2 weeks plotting their revenge, as they have nothing else to play for you would
imagine they will be sending up their best 23. Be interesting to see what team Leo puts out if we’re still in Europe, would be great to do them for the 7th time in a row.

I can't find the answer to this for some reason: What semi final faces the winner of our quarter final? I think that draw has yet to be made. I could be entirely wrong. I didn’t see anything at the draw that implied it was set decided but they have a full knockout bracket on the Wikipedia page. Yes...

On the debate of asterisks beside stars, in the years I’ve watched champions cup rugby not once has a commentator or any fan mentioned when talking about the mighty Toulouse’s 4 stars that one should really have an asterisks beside their first. Neither will anyone in a couple of years on Exeter’s. ...

Possibly. But if the EPCR told them they were ok to travel. And all players subsequently tested negative. And the EPCR statement then talks about a decision being made with the input of the Irish health authorities today... It is also not a big not to jump to that conclusion. Regardless of how the ...

Murphy unlucky not to play again with 2 second rows on the bench. Thought he had a good year to be honest.

Rating academy/sub-academy players in terms of potential: 9 - potential to be a 1st choice international. 8 - potential to be a european level starter. 7 - potential to be a good squad player at leinster or elsewhere. LH Prop Michael Milne(U22) - 8 Marcus Hanan(U21) - 7 Jack Boyle(U19) - 9 Milne ha...

Surprised nothing on James Ryan, sometimes you wonder why they bother to give this update.

Yeah, Bent and Fardy was already common knowledge but Dev was a bit uncertain until he lifted that trophy

Mike Adamson to ref Joy neville to TMO You’d think for the final they could look find Refs not from any of the teams involved .... maybe we should be grateful there are no former players. And before people go on about covid we just had a six nations with neutral refs. It’s the final for god sake

Can you please stop being such a WUM. If you have a point, elaborate on it, if not don’t, but your behaviour is extremely childish. You've not seen the video clip when Zebo is asked would he play for Leinster and he talks about how much he hates us and that he wouldn't play for Leinster for €5milli...
