Leinster v Salarysins

[Peg Leg]

No I don't.

Ha, yes you do, but he's behind Murray in the line of fire.

In fairness Leinster played really well in the 1st half and this season they have gone into overdrive on score success once in the red zone. The two areas that needed to improve post champions final was red zone completions and defence and I think on both we are better this year. Add to that that I agree with another poster that unless injury hit, we should have a better overall 23 for this game than last season

Yeah that certainly seems to be true. I've not seen any stats to back it up, but we seem to be converting a higher proportion of our chances this year. I don't think we'll have faced a defence even close to Saracens' level though. Who would be the best defensive team we've played thus far? Lyon?

OS Explain what exactly? Jebus you've latched onto a comment from another poster who said he couldn't exactly remember, but ' didn't some (unnamed journalist) say recently that SL was 'annoyed' with JS for not implementing the 'plan' ' .... to quote yourself OS:'maybe JS wasn't able to implement the 'plan' ' Whoever that Journo was.. and we have some prize tools masquerading as rugby journos at the moment, with a whole thread to itself; as of now I haven't seen or heard of any hard evidence to back up the assertion. To your own point about why RB wasn't brought on, if SL wasn't happy then surely it reflects on him not addressing the situation. Maybe you need to check that famous mirror. It might be smoking.

There was certainly a marked decline in our scoring over there, but I'm not sure whether that was down to us or them. Either way, it shows that we aren't completely consistent with our scoring. Still room to improve further

The comment was made by SL himself on the rugby union pod.

There has been some discussion recently about the music played before Leinster games (well, we got one question about it on Blues Talk, so obviously its the hot burning watercooler issue of the year) so I thought I'd help out before the big game against Saracens and started putting together a spotify playlist for Leinster Rugby to use - I can't see any reason why they won't

Very good! But can I suggest a couple more?

Your Cheatin' Heart - Hank Williams
Scandalous - Misteeq
Going Down - The Stone Roses
Dirtee Cash - Dizzee Rascal
Death of a Party - Blur

[Dave Cahill]

Suggest away, all suggestions welcome (I actually considered Hank Williams, but it didn't fit my indie/ska groove )

Don't forget many of us have seen Tinnie Temper live at Wembley ! .... how could we forget it !

Lets stick with Thunderstruck, and other Metal numbers that have blasted out at the RDS over the years. Maybe just a bit louder !

And if I could have one request. They used to play Doves - Pounding every home game at 15 minutes to kick off
Lets have it back, and good and loud, its what the RDS is all about !
