""""""""""Leinster 'A' struck first with a 30-metre penalty from Marsh. New signing Ben Te'o started brightly, making a number of huge hits inside the first ten minutes.""""""""""

So next round this saturday at 3 at home, a lot of possible combinations.. very hard to predict a team

my mistake, thought I saw it listed at 3 on the leinster website.

As for the team I'm guessing something along the lines of: AN Other, Dundon, Heffernan, Marshall/Molony, Thornbury, Leavy, vd Flier, Coghlan; McGrath, Marsh, Coghlan-Murray, Crosbie, O'Loughlin/Farrell/Ringrose, Byrne A, Kelleher. Bench: Tracy, AN Other, Molony/O'Connor, Timmins, McCarthy, Byrne R, Dardis

No idea who the two props will be alongside Heffernan. Ben Marshall's availability for this game will probably depend on whether Mike McCarthy is fit to play. At outside centre we're not short of options. O'Loughlin started the first two games. On the wing, they could play Kelleher instead of Adam Byrne and bring Dardis in at full-back.

[goreyguy]

Props could be: Brian McGovern, Oisin Heffernan and Jeremy Loughman

Heffernan still injured, a few clubs have been contacted re props expect at least one new selection from club on bench at very least

Good to Dundon back from injury, rumour of another long term injury return may make appearance as well

[cormac]

No Luke McGrath or Ben Marshall in the starting team. McCarthy and Molony promoted from bench. Beirne and Griggs on bench

[cormac]

29-5 at half time. Tries from Macken, Mick McGrath, Kelleher and Thornbury. The opposition not up to much.

[cormac]

Leinster could probably declare here. 55-12 with fifteen minutes left. Second tries for both McGrath and Kelleher. Other tries for subs Loughman and Farrell too.

[cormac]

Finished 67-12. Another try for Kelleher and the final score came from Timoney.

[johng]

Good fun. Mick Mcgrath is an absolute weapon at this level. Timony looks great. Huge guy too. The 17 looks great. I believe he can play tight head too. Loughman? Was 22 5 when I arrived. So I missed Mackens tries. They were just scoring for fun. Kelleher Marsh Mcgrath. Lost count.
Marsh kicked a touch finder penalty dead, was mixed from the tee, but looked great with ball in hand. Love to see him at the top level.

[neiliog93]

What a turnaround from the loss against these guys last time. Outstanding stuff and very exciting for the future - hopefully MOC might allow Kelleher a run now.

[wwed]

Good stuff against limited side. We had far too much pace for them on an artificial pitch. McGrath outstanding, VderF, Kelleher, Burke Flynn and Loughman also good.

[Donny B.]

Can't understand how we lost to them over in Wales. Every time we attacked them out wide, we scored handily enough, McGrath and Kelleher were breaking tackles for fun.
