But they are not repeated by commentators consistently, or otherwise- as gospel. Repectfully I dont agree. As a pretty heavy consumer of the various media outlets (except for OTB as a show, they can f*ck right off), I'm just expressing what I've experienced. As for the rest. I'm not dragging an arg...

Rather I suggested, in terms, that we should be less sensitive to imagined or minor slights. and others are looking at the collection of slights (your word) as more than the sum of their parts. When they are consistently repeated as gospel, actual truth gets lost and the accepted narrative becomes ...

Does this mean they expect Ryan to be fit for Northampton? Or are we putting Baird in the row? Jenkins and/or Molony will be more than okay to play from the bench. They will still have the week to prep for a 30 min shift. They will be fine. They were about 25 points wrong on Saturday… I imagine the...

not that fans of other provinces will accept that the gap of direct financing at least is not that big. They wont have to as long as the media continues to push the simplified narrative. We are already seeing it repeated in the UK media and I'm sure we'll hear more and more of it before the Northam...

edit: doesnt matter. Couldnt be arsed

Well, maybe I’m not as sensitised to it as some of you are. And I repeat, so what if he is biased? It’s like a game here sometimes, rivalling to pick up some slight. C’mon! Again I'll repeat it doesnt bother me watching him, but on the point of so what?, people like this can have an influence. For ...

Bias doesnt usually bother me when they dont try to disguise it. Go Easy has never tried to hide it. Its weird to me that you dont see it.

Can see him being surpassed by Gleeson pretty quickly to be honest.

Played a lot for ABs at 12.

What an odd signing.

It's a grey area. Lowe loses the ball forward so it satisfies the requirements to be a knock on (by Lowe) If you see it as Gibson Park juggled and recovered a pass that had been handed the it's okay. I'm not sure to what extent both options were considered during review. TMO reviewed. Said it was p...

Do you think that ROGs antics and his standing with of Leinsters fans (and you would assume players) will hurt any future chances of being a future Irish coach? I, for one, would certainly hope so. Thats the vibe I would think a lot of people including influential people will have. A bit too anti-e...

I’m seeing online today a raft of people calling out Leinster fans for booing ROG and then referring to his years of service as Irelands 10 as if this should make him untouchable. F*ck them. They were the same Munster Fans cheering on LaRochelle. If it wasnt this it would be somthing else. F*ck the...

So the big question from that game is stick or twist on Osborne/ringer? Three weeks is a long time, lets see whos fit, but I dont see how you can drop Osbourne. He's been absolutely class. I do think there is scope to run a 5-3 vs saints so there is roon on the bench. Ngatai and O'Brien could well ...

it's not BS. I vividly remember Toulouse fans explaining why they were cheering for Lyon in the challenge cup final in Marseille....ditto for Leinster on the Saturday. I was chatting with a Toulouse fan the day of last year's final, he was gutted we lost. Said he sees us as their great rivals in Eu...

Yep. There is no way Toulouse fans will be cheering for Leinster. Not a chance.

Happy with that selection. Glad we went big, glad we went with a 6-2. There are risks in it, but I'm glad they are taking those risks.

JGP would go to the wing

2nd behind Danty or Botia? Bourgarit is a huge loss though, hes been big for them in last few games against us.

I'd love to see us pick a side to counter their size. JJ at lock, Baird, Doris and Conan back row. Go after their strengths, try to take those away from them and see what else they have.

I think you'll find, if you try hard enough, that the match last year didnt actually happen.

Prefer Dickson over Carley to be honest.
