And season ticket holders can buy from tomorrow.....even though we don't know the date of the game!

As it is BT I would say it will be late game on the Saturday April Fools Day

Otherwise teams will target him.
They will eventually but the later the better.

Think it is to late for that, cat out of the bag this season

So looks likely we have Wasps which will be a very tough ask even tough we are at home. If we loose anyone major to injury during 6 nations we will really struggle. Fear of loosing rather than backing ourselves to win could be very costly Wasps will fancy their chances big time, talk of Semi Final v...

Yeah saw a tweet from Leinster saying they wouldn't qualify for Quarter Finals based on today's results.

What needs to happen for the As to progress? Think it is highly unlikely we will progress??[/quote]
Need Nottingham to lose today and Either the Pirates or Yorkshire to lose their games. Stranger things have happened but I wouldn't put a lot of money on it.[/quote]

Thanks LL

I believe Carberry is no longer on an academy contract

I know of a supermarket / Deli down the country that used to close for lunch!

Thanks Armchair for telling the Turnip what actually happened and that is exactly how I heard it, was approx 500k each donation from Leinster and Ulster budget that headed south West. No need for the Turnip comment. Again, can you provide a link to this information? Is this just something that was ...

There are several very good second row prospects in sub academy and school.. none that I would put in the James Ryan bracket though. My guess I the player you heard about is Charlie Ryan, who recently captained ireland u18. But I'd be excited about several lads at that position in the underage sect...

No apparently about it. Only 11 of the 20+ senior clubs decided to enter the cup. When league will be the focus for many and survival for quite a few then they wont enter when likely to be drawn against a 1A side. None of the 2B/2C sides bar Seapoint and Greystones have entered the cup Yeah very di...

Tom Grace and Philip Browne on Munster depth http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/international/irfu-chief-does-not-believe-munster-can-make-debt-repayments-1.2723985 The above link would go against your claims. The IRFU actually appear to have provided extra cash for the provinces rather than red...

New 13 on the way Irish qualified will be training Monday

Leinster won well against a very disappointing Irish Squad. Props will be a problem for Ireland but think the two Leinster starting props will be with the Irish Set up, not sure Connolly at TH is the answer. Deane & Tommy O'Brien were very good for Leinster Doris was good as well, Frawley very p...

Someone made the point in one of the papers today, I can't remember which one, that Nucifora needs Munster to be successful as he was the guy who hired Erasmus Maybe- but now that he's made a good fist if it so far- and TBH with the horrendous tragedy of Foley's death giving some badly needed persp...

Yeah saw that re Lancaster. Northampton job will tempt him if they go after him unless we have a deal done with him but I am sure he would have a release clause in any agreement we have. I wouldn't say Leicester would be for him or him for Leicester who they appoint will be interesting as it looks ...

Rumours circulating in England that Lancaster will take over from Malinder in Northampton at the end of this season

Thx Hugo and RTB for the summaries. I'm living abroad so A games are never an option. Really appreciate the writeup. So lads, out of Daly, Daly, Larmour, O'Brien and others, is there a fullback convert in there somewhere? I know about the other young guys who have played 15, just curious if we have...

Was told the leinster academy are looking to bring in two scrumhalves in the next class, Keith Kavanagh who was playign with Leinster u20 during the summer is down in Limerick with Shannon, where hs is playing ahead of Munsters u20 scrumhalf, so it looks unlikely he will be brought back. Options at...
