Poor Kevin, his named gets mangled more than any other player, ever.

Paul O'Donoghue begs to differ.

Why should a child in a wheelchair just arrive and automatically get to see BOD ahead of other parents and children that were there before him?

The next Keith Earls? At least let him achieve something first.

Hogan has never let us down at all. Put in some very good performances in his time here. Not a top class second row because of his size but he's a fine lineout operator and more than holds his own at ML level. A better fifth choice lock you'd struggle to find on any British or Irish team, I feel.

I'd love to see more home-grown options at 12 in Leinster. I think we're a wee bit stale there. A footballer to complement the hard-yards merchants woudl be good, esp. with Schmidt coming in. With D'Arcy and BOD to play less than half of the ML matches next season, you'd expect the McFadden/O'Malle...

Call me sad but I remember a post by you Harry ahead of the Agen game when Warner was at ten and everyone was very pessimistic. You predicted right then.

*Thud*

Cheika keeps growing on me all the time, even after five years here.

I'd be almost certain the players will be taking it easy against Glasgow, especially if we beat Connacht. And against Edinburgh if we're already sure of top spot.

And maybe even in the ML SF if it's at home to a Glasgow and we're in the HEC final the following weekend.

Connacht are playing Scarlets next weekend. If they beat them they overtake them in the league so they may have half an eye on that fixture rather than just throwing everything at us. Connacht earn nothing for finishing above the Scarlets, so I doubt that. But are their players' fitness levels up t...

My rationale was resting our whole choice 22 as I didn't want certain players playing twice in five days ahead of a HEC SF the weekend after next. But it seems that no one else is thinking the same way so fair enough, and it does make sense to play a strong team and go for the win, but if we don't ...

Wasn't really needed with all our talent in the back three coming through, to be fair.

Win would guarantee us top spot, but I'd send over a complete and utter second string and play another mix and match side in Glasgow, with the hope we'll either pick up a win in one of these two games or beat a poor Edinburgh side at the RDS in the final round with another mix and match side, which ...

Went missing for large spells.

Great servant to Leinster Rugby, but I'd say the time is right to call it a day for us at the end of the season.

I make it three seasons out of the past four (at least) that Ospreys will be bringing a virtual second string to Dublin? That's the way to get the League going alright, such excitement when two of the biggest three teams in the competition meet.

I believe McFadden has played at ten for UCD.

I was at the game and was verbally abused throughout, culminating in my flag getting torn and my Leinster jersey stained with beer by the locals. Terrible.
