Babbling 'brook

Watching again and God Scott Fardy was very good. Not quite the SF of old but getting involved in everything

Sean O'Brien would be my choice

( I wasn't sure what we doing. I just wanted to be part of it )

yeah can't see us winning tbh Oh I could see us winning alright .......cause we have an amazing squad of players, but I don't think it's the most likely outcome and I certainly wouldn't make us favourites. If we can stop the 5-0 I'll be happy. Anything better and I'll be delirah! :D I think we will...

i'd imagine ideally Bent would stay another season while they blood the younger guys but it may not be possible Yeah its an Interesting one. I can't see them wanting to let him go (if anything hes probably playing his best rugby this season) so maybe they can't afford him or the contract they are o...

looks a good bit leaner. If Bent does indeed leave, I wonder will they be happy with Vakh, Clarkson and McGrath as tighthead depth.. A lot of potential there but not a huge amount of experience. There'd by plenty of on the job training there which Leinster don't usually do. What I mean is they gene...

I just checked out the Ulster boards site. They use the same set up as this only it’s a lighter blue... it’s almost spooky like you got transferred to an alternate reality If it spooks you out too much, you could always switch to our dark theme - https://www.leinsterfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7...

Paddy Power have it Ulster 2/1, Leinster 2/5 and a draw 17/1. The handicap is 6 points.

Frank Murphy is on the whistle for Ulster vs. Leinster on Saturday.

Ah well! I wasn't going to be able to watch it anyway....... might be just as well now

Interesting comments from Robin McBride re: our tackling. Wonder who he was referring to: :shock: "Scott Fardy spoke up and said that personal pride really is what you carry with you, a level of intensity and there is no better sign with regard to that in how you go round in defending and how much p...

Leinster possibly missing the following senior squad players this week: Cian Healy Ronan Kelleher Tadhg Furlong Andrew Porter Vakh Abdaladze(inj) James Ryan Ryan Baird Jack Conan Will Connors Dan Leavy(inj) Max Deegan(inj) Caelan Doris(inj) Jamison Gibson Park Johnny Sexton Harry Byrne(inj)* Ciaran...

Thanks for the updates on Dunne. With Dev and Fardy approaching retirement, Baird and Ryan looking likely to be in the National squad, we need a couple of the NG to come good. Never thought that Moloney was going to be anything more than a Pro12/14/16 level player but this season, in particular, he...

I would probably prefer Osborne at 13 to MOR at 15. With another week to prepare alongside ROL he should be more comfortable positionally and he's a much bigger specimen so should be able to cope with Hume/McCloskey running straight. I also think moving JOB to 13 limits the option to use his left b...

Ah I think so. There may not be a whole lot in it but they could have started Cosgrove at 15e once or twice in the last few weeks and decided to go with MOR. Obviosity could be wrong about this and they definitely rate Cosgrove, but I just think if it comes down to a straight choice between startin...

Personally, only that it was so late in the day I don't think you would have seen Osbourne at 13 and unlikely they'd repeat it with advanced notice. They seem to to have more faith in MOR so I'd think more along the lines of: Dooley, Treacy, Bent Moloney, Fardy/Dev Murphy, Ruddock. JVDF (Penny to b...

So... 1. Dooley 2. Cronin 3. Bent 4. Molony 5. Fardy 6. Ruddock 7. JVDF 8. Penny? 9. Luke 10. RB 11. Kearney 12. ROL 13. Osborne 14. Kelleher 15. JOB Personally, only that it was so late in the day I don't think you would have seen Osbourne at 13 and unlikely they'd repeat it with advanced notice. ...

The assessments of Hawkshaw at 10 are wildly premature. The guy has played in six matches for less than two hours pitch time. Of that, 80 minutes or so were spent at outhalf across three or four games. To make any kind of judgement on whether he is or isn't going to be an outhalf for Leinster based...

Didn't realise that win guarantees us the final place whatever happens against Ulster. Nice to have.

Don't think so! Isn't there two more games after that (Zebre(A) and Ospreys(H))?

I think a loss against Ulster still leaves it in our own hands though

Penny's match figures from Cian Treacy: Scott Penny's numbers from Leinster's win over Glasgow: 2 tries (9th of the season, now joint top PRO14 scorer) 17 carries 34 Metres made 2 Offloads 18 Tackles 1 Turnover 1 Man-of-the match award Penny has played 8 games this season and scored in 7 of them.
