I think Ticketmaster should refund the handling charge... Makes you wonder what is the cost to the Revenue of collecting the 36 cent. Probably nil when you pay by card at your local post office. I paid there yesterday and the package arrived today so it may well have arrived anyway even if I hadn't ...

He could teach JJ Hanrahan a thing or two.

Agreed, is Leinster just a distribution centre for rugby players? It has to be more than that. It's an identity and culture thing. Jack McGrath and Jordi Murphy for example are "of Leinster" in the same way that Ruan Pienaar was "of Ulster" even though he wasn't from there. Could...

Vakh to bench.

Nothing against Michael Bent at all but am looking forward to that after Vakh A's last try which oddly enough didn't make it onto one set of match highlights.

If only we had a huge 2nd row who's great grandad fought in the GPO in 1916......... I know we forgot the glue to hang it up but "Proclamation, proclamation, ah yeah proclamation ..." [ continues for entire calendar year 1916 then mercifully stops ] This really shows up the choice we had ...

. It wouldn't matter if he was. We'd still except him. Are you Isreal Falou? Bad form Qber........ bad form!!! :shock: How so? No dice, Leinster Leader. Is that the player who was suspended recently, did you think I was punning on the word fruit? That was not my intention if so. No apologies for no...

Couldn't agree more. If a 12 year old can spell it right then why not an adult?
Carburry - aargh!

Love that team I still can't understand why Carbery's not involved though. I was surprised to see his name misspelt as "Carberry" on one of the big screens before the Sarries game. He's not a fruit. How long has he been playing for us now? The starting nos. 12 to 14 should prove interesti...

Re Barry Daly and Josh van der Flier:

Injuries to the ankle syndesmosis are commonly known as a "high ankle sprain".
