was a rough experience for Barron, who bounced back and is now clearly 3rd choice. Yep. I thought that would have been curtains on his Leinster career with McKee playing so well last season. To his immense credit he has stepped up whenever called upon and I agree is 3rd choice hooker at present. Al...

Hmmm If I (20 something years sth) want to sit beside my wife (not sure but certainly 15 yrs+ STH) at a match next season, according to my reading of the FAQs, then one of us has to drop our individual season ticket, buy two on the same account, and when the RDS re-opens, then that person "wou...

I think they should have let people pick their tickets in Croke Park in advance rather than have to do it every time we move there.

It’s easier just to buy individual match tickets especially with 52,000 tickets to sell? There will of course be additional seats available to purchase next season in the Aviva Stadium or indeed Croke Park. However, match day ticket prices will increase to help off-set the cost of these moves as wel...

Leinster Rugby Bank of Ireland Season Ticket FAQs The Leinster Rugby Season Ticket for 2024/25 is a new product and very much unlike previous Season Ticket offerings.

A chunk of Northampton's allocation will come back and it looks like there were no seats in the Hogan stand up today. There should still be decent seats available tomorrow. This is what Northampton have to buy in their allocation https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240418/d83491de579305f2bdf7de1266c...

did the outrage over central contracts start after Sheehan got his CC or after Barrett chose to come to Ireland, instead of France or Japan for his sabbatical? There was some bitching and moaning about Sheehan (not because of Sheehan, no one will say he doesn't deserve it) but for the effect it has...

Interpros were quietly added back and I only just noticed. https://www.unitedrugby.com/match-centre/shields/2023-24 The Shields now only count the results of derbies. So the old competition is back under a new name. As per here there are now prizes: https://www.unitedrugby.com/latest/news/urc-announ...

So who do we hate more for this ticketbastard or EPRC

This year we're not doing the whole win 16 games so we can spend the kids to SA thing and still come 1st. It feels weird saying it but that's the situation now. It was exhausting pressure to be perfect and it caught up with us. If we come 5th-8th we have an away QF and a bit of travel. But we can be...

They didn't have a game last weekend. Hysterical fans gonna hysteria. I wouldn't take them seriously.

Rowntree is creating positive vibes and actually won a trophy, but results otherwise have been poor. He's immune. Anger has to be routed elsewhere.

There's a month between the Investec Final and the BKT URC Grand Final.

Balancing 2 knockout competitions is a very different prospect this year. Same with this tour, there are 3 URC games after it.

The Grand Final is June 22.

Ireland play in Pretoria on July 6th.

URC knockout attendances are terrible anyway. Having to travel wouldn't be that big a deal.

Going all out to have easier URC knockouts didn't do a lot for us in recent years. We don't need to sweat it.

Leinster were willing to slaughter some sacred cows, but ones that weren't really fundamental to us. We removed clubs from having any role in the running of the pro game (this was easier after the 2006 ticket fiasco). We abandoned the rebuilding of Donnybrook when it was clear it was no longer suita...

He will be a real asset to whatever province gets him. There is no point in him going to Connacht or Munster. So, if he still has Ireland aspirations, Ulster is what he has to do. He's 27, so still plenty of scope to reignite his career from an international perspective. If he can't get ahead of Do...

POM hasn't played much this season for Munster, only 5 times. But it was a RWC year and after an extended break he got injured in his first game back. There's no pattern of recurring injuries, he got 17 Munster caps and as he fades he'll probably lose Ireland minutes just as quickly. He actually pla...

It takes perceptive, dedicated people to figure it out. What do we perceive as our strengths, are they really our strengths, how can we use our strengths, how can we improve our weaknesses etc. How do we spend the money we bring in? Do we bring in academy players younger or older? Do we look for be...

O'Mahony announced he was stepping down as captain the week before Ahern played there first.

When the sun goes down by the Artic Monkeys could be referring to sports fans who peacefully go to sports games to show support to the wrong team, don't you know.
