Leinster v Treviso

[simonokeeffe]

...getting worried about Edinburgh game as we're missing...Healy..

Wha da?

Is Healy not out or should be out with a shoulder problem? Or am i jumping to conclusions

[byrnsie]

Is this game being televised?

TG4.

Healy is in New York. Maybe he is only missing this game but he clearly played against Ulster with a knock.

Really? No mention of him missing on the latest injury report posted on the Leinster website?

wouldnt be the first time things aren't reported.

He isn't hiding that he is in New York, several recent posts on his Instagram account about being there.

Just depressing that with two games to go and Leinster will struggle to beat this team.

the MOC revolution in full effect.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

I'm actually dreading the game. I do think we'll win but I'm not looking forward to the rugby, just really nervous about actually getting a result.

why will Leinster struggle to beat this team?

Treviso have lost 16 games this season
Treviso have the worst points diffence in the Pro 12
Treviso are the away team
Treviso have only beaten Zebre and Cardiff this season

Its all well and good saying we are not playing well, but I dont think we will struggle to beat this team

Leinster by >12

Jesus if this isn't a sad state of affairs I don't know what is. It's Treviso at home and we're nervous about not getting the TBP or seeing any decent rugby. If we can't produce tomorrow then I really despair. We should have a pretty strong team out so there can really be no excuses. I reckon we'll see:

McGrath Strauss Ross
Toner McCarthy
Murphy Heaslip SOB

Boss Gopperth
Darce Te'o
D Kearney R Kearney Kirchner

Dundon, Bent, Moore, Marshall, Murphy, Reddan, Madigan, Fanning

[Degz]

If Boss and Gopperth are the half backs then I give up, I really do.

[Kinger83]

Leighton Hodges is the ref for this one.

In the same fixture last season we won 62-7. Doubt it we will put that kind of score on them this time around but I fully expect us to win. Jennings last home game and possibly the last time we see D'Arcy play for Leinster also.

If Boss and Gopperth are the half backs then I give up, I really do.

Reddans form at the moment is really poor. Boss is the better of the two right now. Personally I'd put McGrath on the bench ahead of Redser, but it won't happen.

Gopperth is still the best 10 we have too. There's absolutely no point in putting Mads in at 10 for a must win game like this when he hasn't played 10 in a while and when he did wasn't able to get ahead of Gopperth. Jimmy has the most line breaks in the league. He should be able to do damage against Treviso in that regard and hopefully he can link up well with Darce once he's over the gain line as he has done a few times before. It's probably the best midfield we can put out there IMO.

Just realised I have Jordi in there twice. Obviously Jenno should be on the bench there.

I think you've Moore on the bench as well and he's out for the season.

Do you want another go at it?

[leinster4life13]

Mads at 12.






Ah well, I hope there is at least a bit of sun. Very strong pack, cant see us losing this one, even if we kick everything away.

[johng]

Serious pack though.

You see I thought that was the case but I went looking on the auld internet to confirm and found nothing so thought I was just getting confused. Damn internet.
