Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
I don't really buy this idea of ROG as a cheque book coach. He joins La Rochelle ahead of the 2019-20 season with Jonno Gibes as his Director of Rugby. Then he becomes top dog for the 2021-22 season. He certainly hasn't signed most of their best players. Botia and Atonio are over a decade at La Roc...

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 takin...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
A brilliant performance and a well-deserved and definitely much sought-after win for the lads. They should be really proud – they showed the best of themselves today. Cannot wait to watch it again!

Re: Leinster exiles, where are they.
Beirne was a better underage player tbf, if Dunne improves as much as Beirne did as Scarlets, i'd hope leinster would have learned their lesson. I think we should have picked him up at this juncture. He is a good player, super mobile for his size. I'm a fan and would have liked to see him back at L...

Re: Ulster 2023/24
Cunster really worked as a team name :lol: Surprising how weak the squads were in hindsight. I think Sam Coghlan Murray, Andrew Boyle, James Tracy, Cathal Marsh and Marty Moore all obviously progressed to the Leinster Academy, but I know very little about Robert Hynes, Mark McGroarty, Conor Spence ...

Re: Connacht 2023/24
Great win for the stone-eating men of the west. Particularly big night for Prendergast Snr., who showed great pace to ally with his excellent fitness to bag the second of his tries. They were his sixth and seventh tries of the season, an excellent return for a forward. He has had a particularly busy...

Re: Munster 2023/2024 - Return of the Jedi????
Leaving Ahern stationed out on the wing was a waste. He wasn’t in the game in the second half and Munster were struggling in the tight collisions and protecting their own ball. It’s not a surprise to the opposition defence when he gets the ball in a wide channel when he’s waiting out there all game...

Re: Leinster Academy 23-24
Having seen Sam Berman up close in a big game yesterday against Tarf, if it's true that he's going to Ulster we've missed out on a gem there. He was superb Both centres, Sylvester and Berman, were good yesterday, particularly defending. I'd be disappointed if we end up with neither de Klerk nor Ber...

Re: Croke Park to host major Leinster rugby games
Think URC quarters and semis will probably be more dependant on opposition rather than the stage. If Ulster or Connacht are the quarter final opponents, could generate some support and a big event feel for a quarter final. Conversely a semi final with Benetton, Glasgow, Edinburgh or a South African...

Re: Leinster Academy 23-24
I like de Klerk, would have liked to see him at Leinster. Not sure that Ulster is any better of a landing spot for him with Hume and Postlethwaite at No13.Theleafysuburb wrote: ↑March 27th, 2024, 6:33 pm Players find out about academy contracts this Friday.

Re: Ulster 2023/24
It's the right move. He made an absolute tits of the situation last year around the Ravenhill pitch and the La Rochelle game, and it looks like bedlam up there at the moment around the short term future of the squad. It is the right move. He has had a decent run in the job to make his mark. After i...

And Bayonne clip the wings of 'the Great one' by 13 - 12 in Bayonne. LAR were not very impressive - although Bayonne is a hard place to win. Very poor game - La Rochelle's lineout was atrocious. Situation only really improved when they replaced Tola Latu at hooker with Quentin Lespiaucq. Hastoy mis...

Re: Zebre v Leinster Sat 23 March KO 7:35pm RTE2
. Would like to see some more of Henry McErlean, some nice moments ... I reckon he will get a run in South Africa next month. I like McErlean a lot, but does he take the tackle a little upright, making it more difficult for him to get to ground and easier for the defense to hold him up? I noticed i...

Re: Zebre v Leinster Sat 23 March KO 7:35pm RTE2
Really impressive performance from Max Deegan. I thought that he was pretty obviously the standout player on the pitch. He was extremely active in the lineout, really took control of it. I like seeing him up there at the front of the lineout on opposition ball, he's able to get up in the air very qu...

Yeah but equally so, Scotland could have nicked it at the end because we hadn't closed the game out and not for the first time our defensive systems failed and we missed tackles. Obviously delighted by the championship win and particularly given that we were missing Sexton, Hanson, Ringrose, Earls,...

Re: Re: Ireland vs Scotland, Saturday, 4.45pm
I like Crowley, I think he's excellent. I thought that the baton change from Sexton to him went amazingly well. Crowley started every game at No10 in only his second season at test level and we won the tournament. That's a hell of a result. Like anybody, he had moments that he could improve. But he ...
