Leinster Squad 19-20

tbf Aungier looks like he might be backup TH for Connacht.

Absolutely. Friend seems open to playing with his new toys. He is not really a collector.

Aungier scored his first Pro14 try - thereby earning Connacht a TBP - off the bench vs Ulster the weekend before last, fair play to him. He looked extremely happy doing it too.

I find it amusing when people consider EOS a munster fan. During his tenure with the IRFU he was less popular in Munster than a sci-fi experiment gone wrong amalgam of Declan Kidney and MOC was in Leinster, a feeling that was mutual.

You mean back when Munster fans thought David Wallace should have been starting for Ireland when he wasn't starting for Munster?

So you’re skeptical that the people who plucked a guy from Hawaii and got him a trial with Leinster had a grand plan to actually send him to a different province after a few years?

Sure mate, bet you’re one of those idiots wearing a mask in shops and aren’t worried about 5G masts either.

Nucifora is a lot of things but a benign influence on Leinster he most certainly is not.

But he shouldn't be. That's the point that's central to all of this that people miss.

The IRFU are our paymasters, like it or not.

Nucifora is paid to be the puppeteer and that's the way our system is set up, for good or bad.

He's no Eugene Lambert

He'd probably see himself more as a Judge (jury and executioner)

You’re not allowed in shops without masks so therefore you’re calling everyone in Ireland an idiot..

[Oldschoolsocks]

Just you...

[Pilotman123]

Just you...

Do you feel better now? Putting me down, does that make you feel better?

[Oldschoolsocks]

Oh did I say that out loud?

Ooooops, sorry

Cummiskey in the IT uses Leo's annoyance over l'affaire Salanoa to again promote the idea of a draft:

"Karma chameleon: Owen Farrell and the Zen of being Number 10

The Offload: Fans miss out on semi-finals on the telly; Leo Cullen cries foul over poaching"

A draft just for Leinster players, if I'm reading that correctly. Though it's always hard to tell with Cummiskey, who may actually be talking about a bank payment or a game played on a chess board.

"L'affaire Salanoa" is wonderful, though ( ). Thornleying of the highest order, Riocard!

I think he might be joking about the draft altough you would never know with that lolly.
Last week he wanted rugby to call off their seasons to support BLM, to actually cease playng games. Now he's bemoaning the fact that he can't see it on the telly.
On saturday he thought Farrell should get a litetime ban, I mean FFS.

Very tough. He was involved in 16 of our 19 pre lockdown games including all 6 in the Heineken Cup, his form was good enough to get him an Irish cap in the 6 nations and now he looks like he will miss out on the quarterfinal to go with the Pro 14 semi and final. I don't know how you could keep positive in that scenario.

Doris has pushed well past him this season and Conan just adds a little more power and workrate imo, particularly against a side like Sarries.

Tough on him but I think they're the right calls.

[OTT]

I agree but for the mindset of a guy who has put in so much and been such an important player this season it would be gutting to now be deemed surplus to immediate requirements. It is the impossible task of keeping everyone happy.

[mildlyinterested]

The same could be said of Ruddock. You'd have to think both are prime candidates to leave in 2021.
