Re: Leinster Scrumhalves
I think the major complaint is when a player moves mid contract. If a player is coming to end of a contract, it is their right to choose where they want to play in subsequent seasons and we cant complain if their exercise their right to move, with or without inducements from other Provinces/Clubs. I...

Re: Calm before the storm ?.
Oh I don't think so Footrush !
Lots of fans resting and preparing quietly for the game on Saturday.
I have a feeling their will be a lot more blue than expected - judging by the number of supporters I know that are travelling
So relax and take some down time in preparation for your Crusade !

For the last 4 Champions Cup finals that we have appeared in, II have treated myself to a new Relica shirt. I have worn the shirt on the day proudly and it has been as much a momento of the day out at the final as it has been helping to create blue in the stadium. For the last 4 weeks I have been at...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Papers reporting that Munster are going looking for a new attack coach
As Ted Hasting would say, "in the name of God" I hope they aren't thinking of looking at any of our coaches
Bad enough playing walking out of contracts, but coaches would really take the biscuit.

Re: Leinster @ Ulster, Sat 27 Apr 17:15 KO
Dissappointing display in Kingspan, can’t remember a game where we made so many individual errors A few positives, Jack McGrath is getting there and looks like he will at least compete for a place in the last 3 match squads. Nick MCarthy looks more than competent, I’d love if he could sit on the ben...

Re: Bloodgate: 10 years on
I have now read two articles about Bloodgate, one by Tom Williams and latterly one by Ugo Moyne.
Both were reminiscing about the events and both made great play out of the strength of the players and the club to come back and win trophies in 2012. If anything they were saying, everyone was doing it, we just got caught
My recollection is somewhat different. The b$&%@#ds tried to cheat us out of a European Quarter Final. When they weren’t good enough to beat us they tried to cheat us out of our victory.
That should never be forgotten, nor glorified or romantically recollected. That they still deem the issue was being caught not actually cheating shows the club and its ethos in its real light. Let’s never forget, they tried to cheat us in a European Quarter Final.

Re: Can Leinster be competitive in the coming seasons?

They make offers to the players, along the established contract levels, and let the players decide where they go. ...

And saddest part is that it was not the money grabbing English Premiership or French Top 14 that will have killed the golden goose, it was our own IRFU and their NIQ Quartermaster Nucifora.

Re: Can Leinster be competitive in the coming seasons?
It just seems sad that the most successful Irish Provincial squad in history is now being dismantled to backfill gaps in other Irish sides. And more so when you consider that the other sides did not bother doing the hard work in developing players, rather they took the easy and expensive option of f...

Re: Rumour Mill
As an ulster fan obviously I'm delighted with this signing. When I saw Jack sitting on his own at the game on Saturday I was pretty sure the rumours were true and his signing was going to be announced this week (Ulster always announce big new signings after a disappointing result). I'm sure there i...
