If winning something for CJ is a big motivation, why didn’t they bother since he came here? Anyhow I would imagine that within the Leinster camp it will be fairly well known what stalwarts are set to leave Leinster after this season. It just hasn’t been confirmed publicly yet. The “CJ” factor that i...

From Bristolbearsrugby.com Bryan Byrne has extended his contract at Bristol Bears after a string of impressive displays for the club. The 27-year-old has been a formidable presence in the Bears front row during the 2020/21 campaign, with seven tries to his name. Director of Rugby Pat Lam said: “It w...

What I wouldn't give to be in my seat in the South Stand, seeing the big flag in the North Stand corner, as Lowe adds to his tally against Munster... TV will have to do unfortunately.

Its quality that we need; not quantity. This weekend showed once more that there are too many rubbish teams in the league. The fact that the Irish teams occupy the top 4 spaces in the league is a reflection on the weakness of the rest, rather than the strength of the Irish teams, unfortunately. Addi...

We got lucky there tonight, but the bench made a big difference (Porter, JGP, Byrnes, and no Tomane).

Not Nigel Owens biggest fan but he was very good tonight. Think he got all the big decisions right, and his communication with the players was firm, consistent and clear.

Should Carbury not be listed as Munster at this stage?

Thats a watered down version of our strongest team. Not sure of the logic in benching so many proven winners.

If we win this, it will be a domestic grand slam (3 other provinces beaten home and away).

Not sure that this matters too much, when compared to the other targets in our sights, but would be another milestone in a (hopefully) remarkable year.

On basis that only 2 of Fardy, Lowe and JGP can be picked, Lowe is likely to lose out, due to less call-ups to Ireland in his positions

My bet is that Isa told whoever is responsible for transport arrangements that he had travelled to South Africa on many occasions, in his years playing for the Blues, without the need for any visa. JGP was probably assumed to be in a similar position. Nobody was aware of the recent change... The air...

Just checked into the Radisson Blu hotel (near Part Dieu). Was told the Leinster team are staying here, and are due to arrive at 3pm today.

Allez les blues!

When's the last time an Irish team scored a late drop goal away to a Welsh team, to take a slight lead, only for the Welsh team to get a penalty to win the game..... BUT THEY MISSED IT!

Good omen. The other Irish team had a fairly good season too!

From a Wasps fans website... 10 of Wasps first 15 have national team caps, with 273 caps between them. 13 of the Leinster first 15 have national team caps, with 282 caps between them. Wasps backs have 141 caps Leinster backs have 109 caps Wasps forwards have 128 caps Leinster forwards have 173 caps ...

Finished 43 - 24. Try by Mick McGrath in final minute.

Ironic that they criticize the Irish for resting key players. Methinks they have found their own way of doing that.

Email from Leinster to season ticket holders below - tickets on sale tomorrow. Options would seem to be the Thatchers Terrace (behind posts) or Block H. Anyone who has already purchased in block J should be very close to the Leinster posse in Block H (H and J are beside each other - there is no Bloc...

Tickets for this game went on general sale on the Bath Rugby site this morning. I had asked Leinster Rugby if they were selling tickets for the game, and the reply this morning was "You will be notified by email in regards to the ticket purchasing process for Leinster Rugby away matches. Please...

Very sorry to hear this.

Great player who was a key part of a great team.

Thanks for everything, and best of luck.

Have tried for category c tickets for the France game throughout the day. Even though the site says that there are category c tickets available, it's not possible to add even 1 ticket to your basket. Seems to be a glitch of some sort.
