What do the bookies have for how many minutes Sexton lasts for?

Bit worried about this now, pitches near me are pretty much frozen solid even though they get the sun.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 2:24 pm Hopefully the pitch is being protected against Frost as yet another Weather Warnings drops into my in-box

Any idea when a decision would be taken?LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑January 8th, 2021, 2:37 pmBit worried about this now, pitches near me are pretty much frozen solid even though they get the sun.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 2:24 pm Hopefully the pitch is being protected against Frost as yet another Weather Warnings drops into my in-box
I was going to buy a weekend pass for Pro14tv this evening, but will delay until as late as possible.
I normally watch with my buddy here (we are allowed one "cuddle contact") who has the Sky box, but he is in quarantine, so I have to freestyle tonight.
Don't want to pay for the weekend pass if there is no Leinster game.

There's no mention of it being called off anywhere I can see (or pitch inspections etc.), but I can see where LRIP is coming from. It's Baltic here and the roads were still like glass up around us at midday so it's certainly not going to improve as it gets dark.curates_egg wrote: ↑January 8th, 2021, 3:24 pmAny idea when a decision would be taken?LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑January 8th, 2021, 2:37 pmBit worried about this now, pitches near me are pretty much frozen solid even though they get the sun.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑January 7th, 2021, 2:24 pm Hopefully the pitch is being protected against Frost as yet another Weather Warnings drops into my in-box

All you can do is keep an eye on the LR twitter account. If there's an issue thwy'll be the first to know I suppose.

It’s cold here too but I would think only ground over 500metres is frozen.
Re: Leinster v Ulster Fri 8th January 2021 19:35 EirSport
Lads I haven't weighed in on this yet because I still kind of think it's a joke, but why is Ross starting at 13? It's such an incredibly weird decision, can anyone fathom some logic behind it?

Could the icy cold be to the Nordies' advantage? They're more used to it up there.....

Re: Leinster v Ulster Fri 8th January 2021 19:35 EirSport
No other option I think. Larmour at 13 could be an alternative but sounds like it's less disruptive to put Byrne at 12 with Sexton at 10 and rh at 13. I can't see ross lining up at 13. It would be a car crash!!
Re: Leinster v Ulster Fri 8th January 2021 19:35 EirSport
Nope, but almost certain now he will have a blinder and score three tries.
Or perhaps Nucifora has decided to go pilfering Leinster 10's again and Leo is scrambling to convert him to a 13 rapid.

JVDF with a pass from the base that Peter Strnger would be happy to throw.

VdF just threw a seriously good pass from scrumhalf. Might be an answer to our backrow and scrumhalf conundrums

Not doing well under the aerial bombs so far
Re: Leinster v Ulster Fri 8th January 2021 19:35 EirSport
Is that Ross Byrne or Gary Ringrose at 13?
Class touches there.
