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...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
Welcome back to Leinster Jordie! The end of training ‘longest kick’ competition between J Lowe, Osborne and Jordie is going to be great; I’d pay to watch! He’s such a versatile player that it’s a great signing. Provides great depth and super cover over the 6 Nations and into the playoffs. The reacti...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
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...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
https://www.epcrugby.com/champions-cup/matches/276405/match-stats We kicked more and much further, we won more turnovers, we blew up their maul often (they had 57% success). That’s very interesting. I was surprised by meters made and defenders beaten but thinking about it, we tended to go around th...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
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. Hoping for another super human effort against two enormous tight heads with a gargantuan lock behind them. We probably need Sheehan to bind tight on Porter and chan...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
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.

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
i wish ryan was available.. cant help but think we will be left wondering what if.. just like last years final. Ryan is a massive loss (as is Ringer). I wonder is there any chance of Baird starting at lock and Conan or Connors starting in the back row? The obvious benefit is it adds pace and dynami...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
Its not as if ROG is a shrinking violet. He brings the attention on himself. We need to stop giving oxygen to him and the turnip loving, O’Gara fan boys in the media. I cut my subs to the 42 and the Indo due to their hysterical worshipping of the opposition before and after last year’s final. The o...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
I think we might see something like: Keenan, Larmour, Henshaw, Osborne, Lowe, Ross, JGP, Doris, VdF, Baird, JJ, Joe Mc, Furlong, Sheehan, Porter Milne, Kelleher, Mike, Molony, Conan, Luke, Frawley, Connors Big test for Osborne, front five need to be massively physical and we need to use the bench ea...

Re: Leinster v Leicester - Sat 6 April, 20.00 RTE2
Looking at the outcomes and body language on Saturday evening and reviewing both since, that performance had all the hallmarks of a week of low, or no, emotional preparation what so ever. That may have been a gamble, but with the second-half against Bulls in the recent memory bank, they would have ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
Will Conners starting this weekend. VDF on the bench Unusual for the team to be picked so early in the week… In terms of the discussion around selection at open side, it’s a funny one. Connor’s has been third choice 7 for most of the season. I really like him as a player but wouldn’t start him. To ...
