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

Thanks Ronk and Naraic, just never noticed before although I've certainly seen that split a lot more the last few years in squads. I only went back to check as couldn't remember McGrath on the bench. Was wondering was larmour covering scrum half. Obviously not though. I've really enjoyed watching l...

From Matt Williams in the Times: "While it is part of Leinster’s culture to not publicly talk about their passion, unlike Munster and La Rochelle, it is a very foolish team that deceives themselves into believing that their passion is superior to Leinster’s. A trap that many Munster teams of t...

In a 6 2 split is the extra back usually 23? Thought for a second VDF was covering full back.

Last time there was a semi final up for grabs in croke park the quarter went okay for us if you want to look for tenuous signs. The semi and actual final weren't bad either!

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Molecast dropped Every time one of ROG's records falls to Cian Healy or Johnny Sexton, I think "Great. I think I'll mention this." Had me howling. Was a bit of amen brother from me when I heard that :D Love that the molecast is released so consistently these days. Is part of my routine no...

Re: Leinster vs Bulls, March 29th, 7.35pm

That was a great performance against a quality team. Looked at the backline at one stage.... Harry,Jamie,Turner,Russell,Larmour...and we cut them open. Young lads are all very promising. Osbourne is totally here to stay. Larmour would be a great full back but he is really poor at catching the ball....

I wouldn't say Deegan is out of contention for Europe. He's doe his bit and I think proven himself again. Now the other are being given a chance to bed back in. If they don't go well he could be back in. Maybe I'm just naieve though.

Re: A whiff of Cordite

Not sure this is the right thread but did anyone watch Netflix documentary Full Contact. Was the greatest but for me the thing I noticed that Andy Farrell and Steve borthwick came across as decent where all the others were a bit less so. Not that that's indicative of their managerial ability or even...

Conan was off his feet - there's no ruck to require release.
Does that matter if conan doesn't attempt to play the ball he completed the tackle and tacklee didn't release?

Re: Leinster v Sale Sharks RDS Sat 16th 5.30 RTE

Even easier than that is to look at his binding. Repeatedly on Porters arm to attempt to illegally redirect him. The ref specifically called him on this twice I think before penalizing it. Don't think he said binding on arm but said "use a long bind instead of short" . It's a very obvious...

Re: European Champions Cup 23/24

LOLs yeah, it was a crazy finish. the yellow for the LAR player was unlucky...but the right call. LAR must be fuming they let that slip. Stormers, for me, were very poor. I didn't think they were very poor at all. La Rochelle are an incredibly strong team and had a very, very good selection out the...
