Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25

When Leinster played a few games at the RDS (2005/06, maybe) it was only supposed to be temporary but they soon outgrew Donnybrook. In those days it was pie in the sky stuff to think Leinster could sell out the RDS for regular season league games. But Leinster ended up moving there (and they were s...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May

Can you imagine the EPCR bean-counters reading SJones tweets about Leinster advantage and pissing themselves.
"Leinster for Croker every year" is what they are shouting right now.

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

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. Over 200k attended the URC knoc...

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster

Priceless stuff. Leinster replace Ngatai with Barrett so.... Waterfordlad I've been a member of Irish Rugby Supporters Club since 2008, mainly for access to tickets/events. No more, I'm done. The power of one. It's a small thing at 50 euros a year but I'm quitting on principle. I'll still support Mu...

Re: Heineken Champions Cup Final 2023

La R are the best team in Europe. 3 Finals on the bounce. Back-to-back wins would be epic. It'll be close - real close - but I have La R by less than 6. No shame in losing to this team. The problem is, if Leinster lose, there's nothing to play for next week. 80% of the games Leinster play week on w...

That is a weakened team no doubt.

Re: In defence of Dave Kearney and Fergus McFadden

I'd say I wasn't alone in the great days of 2018 thinking that with the arrival of JLo and the emergence of Larmour it was the end of the road for DK and the like. He was yesterdays man, time to head west. But he recovered from his injuries and in 2018-19 scored 6 tries, followed by 12 the next seas...
