Very surprised to see Ben Murphy move. Suggests confidence in Gunne and possible good news for Coffey.
Suspect Tector and Cosgrave
Any updates on Culhane? Started the season with a really strong endorsement from the coaches but haven’t heard about him in a long time.

Re: Stormers v Leinster - Sat 27 April 18.05 - TG4
Possibly to do with managing altitude; return to sea level as close to the match as is possible?

Yeah but ST holders next year have to be able to buy ST the following year. So they are limited by the RDS limit. They could offer multi game packages that don't have ST rights.

Go easy signs off rte programme with “Leinster have the money Munster have the points” and O’Callaghan contradicts everything he said at start of programme about Munster not able to compete financially.

Prize money goes to whoever the stakeholder is and it's their job to distribute it - so in our case the IRFU, for English clubs it's the RFU/PRL, etc. The real value isn't the prize money, it's in selling the win.

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
There was a lot not to like about that performance: System failures in defence along with individual errors, particularly in the first 20 mins. Somewhat understandable given all of the changes and the relatively new structure. Excellent Lions defence. But we played into their hands a bit. Panick at ...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
There are 12.5k season tickets. We sold c. 42k seats for the Leicester game and just managed to sell out a quarter final against our sworn enemy in a massive match. Who in their right mind thinks we should be playing matches in Croke Park? I presume they will change their mind once they see how bad ...

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
I guess we’ll find out today what approach we’re taking to the squad. Will all players who fly tomorrow stay for two games? We really need to get at least 5 points from this block and preferably more, if we want to prevent a potential final at altitude in South Africa. A win this weekend seems almo...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
I can’t see this match selling out or anything close to it. Based on the indicated ticket prices, I think it’ll be a similar attendance to the Leicester match. Maybe I’ve underestimated the Croke Park novelty, but I don’t think so. The opportunity to open up the game to new people and fill the stadi...

Stephen Jones in the Sunday Times talking about the semi. There's so many holes in his argument that it's impossible he can't see them. He just likes being controversial. "They will face Leinster, who beat La Rochelle 40-13, in the semi-final, and in a massive shock, Leinster are not hosting i...

Re: Croke Park to host major Leinster rugby games
I hope I’m wrong but I really can’t see us getting more than 50k to Croke Park. ERC is organising which won’t help. The best hope is group offers and deeply discounted tickets. I think Nowlan Park would have been a much better option IMHO. Appreciate the immediate financial considerations but taking...

I’m loving the energy and enthusiasm in this thread for the match tomorrow. My heart has us as 30 point favourites! Big day for Porter.

Very surprised by that. Their tight heads are both enormous man (even by the standards of modern tight heads).mildlyinterested wrote: ↑April 12th, 2024, 2:49 pm Leo saying Healy was available but Milne deserved the spot.
Milne is explosive and has a bit of edge about him (along with an ey for the line) but I hope he can survive at scrum time.
