Re: 2nd Row going forward

What an incredibly disappointing signing. A 26 year old who has never hit the big time and is incredibly injury prone….. Surely we have the budget to get a big name in for once and not waste it on nothing players…. Last time we signed anyone decent was Fardy maybe? How can Munster and Ulster attrac...

Interesting.
Interestingly, Gerry was his ghost writer.
Any Leinster specific pieces of interest?

That is not how statistics work.....

Away wins are more likely than ever now though with COVID

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Wednesday of a HC semi final week and not a word on OTB about the game.

Munster beating us, O’Gara getting a contract and Ireland ladies all more important apparently

I’ve been told that furlongs contract with the IRFU is basically signed. Crossing the Ts and dotting the Is, it will be announced shortly

Re: Rainbow Cup Rd 1: Saturday, 24 April: Leinster v Munster – KO 7.35pm, RDS Arena

Fully warranted his new irfu deal. Never mind POM why play CJ and not play a player that will be there next season to gain experience They’ve done that with JJ. Always felt he was a talented player who got a raw deal in Munster. Think he could have been a very good player if he was brought through ...

Re: Rainbow Cup Rd 1: Saturday, 24 April: Leinster v Munster – KO 7.35pm, RDS Arena

If that’s the team I’d be dissapointed Ryan and Ringrose aren’t starting.

Also, JGP still out is a major worry

Re: Michael Alaalatoa signs for Leinster

Made the colossal error listening to Luke Fitz's podcast, I must be a masochist, anyway Luke is not very keen on the signing of Michael Alaalatoa at all at all or any foreign signings for that matter. Also, James Lowe was massively at fault for the first try against Exeter on Saturday, that was Luk...

Re: Michael Alaalatoa signs for Leinster

By the looks of things he will be our only not Irish qualified player next year and in the position he plays we provide 2 viable options to the national team so I’m not sure why anybody would have any complaints. We had sent tightheads east and south last year and have a guy playing north too. When...

Re: Michael Alaalatoa signs for Leinster

There’ll be a few lads falling from some great heights off of those high horses after that announcement. This signing would be contradictory towards a few comments by the vocal minority over the last few weeks and months. By the looks of things he will be our only not Irish qualified player next ye...

Re: Michael Alaalatoa signs for Leinster

There’s clearly a difference between developing players and signing a player to supplement your squad. In my opinion foreign signings should be people who take you to the next level. Not someone to be 24th man. Obviously I’m wrong if porter moves across Leinster are limited by the irfu in regards t...

Re: Michael Alaalatoa signs for Leinster

there’s no point in having a great 3rd choice when it comes to knock outs. Who do you think Ciaran Frawley, Harry Byrne, Dan Sheehan, Scott Penny and Max Deegan should move to? There’s clearly a difference between developing players and signing a player to supplement your squad. In my opinion forei...

Re: Michael Alaalatoa signs for Leinster

Unless porter is switching this is an absolutely crazy signing. Very disappointed. Foreign players should really add to the squad. Not be third choice in their position Tadhg Furlong's central contract ends this june.. edit there was: Furlong signed 2 year central contract: https://www.irishtimes.c...

Tighthead? With Porter and Furlong?

Even it's just to cover while the internationals are away I'd rather trust the sub-academy and make a signing at loosehead.

Well available for selection anyway. Yesterday's performances have broadened the selection options IMO.
+1. I’d be starting RB in this one
