Sounds pretty unethical for a bookmaker to give odds on that
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

Bit worried about this now, pitches near me are pretty much frozen solid even though they get the sun.

Any idea when a decision would be taken?
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.

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.

Thanks. I’ll break my Twitter break again :wink:

It’s cold here too but I would think only ground over 500metres is frozen.

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.....

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!!

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.

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