What's the crack with Adam Byrne? Guy has been fit afaik for weeks yet no game time at all. I know he's off to connacht but so is rol yet he's getting minutes. Sticking russell in at 14 and not even putting Byrne on the bench is a bit strange. Unless he's downed tools in training but can't see lein...

Skelton probably won’t play the final, but always good to cast a bit of doubt to get in your opponents head.

Thanks LRIP - I'll try that later if they don't respond to my latest message.

If you get really stuck, I have a French speaking friend who I’m sure would help out.

I was at both the Bilbao and Newcastle finals and heading to the Marseille one next week — personally I love the variety. A stadium is a stadium, there was nothing noticeably different in either experience. This time around getting to Marseille is a bit of a pain in the hole, but that’s more down to...

Interesting thought. We’ve probably known Contepomi was on his way out for months at this point so you’d imagine whoever is replacing him is already deep in negotiations. Would love to see Nacewa back but feels like it’s important for him to live near his family, so would be surprised to see him sig...

I found a €400 Aer Lingus voucher that I got last time I booked a flight to Marseille, had totally forgotten about it. Really took the edge off travelling to this one. Without that, it would have been really hard to justify the spend.

I have two category 3 tickets for the final in the South Stand. They were €60 each, drop me a PM if you're interested. They are located here (the circle at the bottom right of the image, not the other circle to the left )

Yeah, spot on. You definitely could have levelled accusations of not picking youth in previous seasons, but I think Munster have done very well this season in bringing through some of the younger talent. Virtually every player in their academy has a full cap now (11 out of 14). You could argue some ...

2022 EPCR European Player of the Year shortlist  Grégory ALLDRITT (Stade Rochelais) Caelan DORIS (Leinster Rugby) Antoine DUPONT (Stade Toulousain) James LOWE (Leinster Rugby) Josh VAN DER FLIER (Leinster Rugby) https://www.epcrugby.com/2022/05/17/star-studded-line-up-for-epcr-european-player-of-th...

Heino final and Champs League final on the same saturday night is not a first. But the same day and same country surely is? I know France is a big country but having 100,000+ people all coming to your country for the same weekend trip has got to put pressure on anyones infrastructure, especially wh...

There are a few dodgy sites that publish full rugby replays. Here’s one:

The two tries yesterday put Lowe within one try of the single season record for the Champions Cup. Would love to see him get a couple more in the final.

A little off topic but I do agree that Leinster’s marketing is sub par. I saw this ad for purchasing a season ticket recently and I have to say, I don’t really get it — how would this convince anyone to buy a season ticket? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220510/0e0fcf8e5e24662acea8711370b8ddbf.j...

The selections they've made have been a complete pain from a fan point of view, Bilbao and Marseilles are really difficult to get to. London, Milan, Rome, Paris or if you want to go non traditional, Brussels, Amsterdam, Madrid - all a lot easier. You want to fly to Marseilles now and you're paying ...

So, one less European game next season? I think the two leg format was a failure and resulted in as many dead rubbers as you had with the 6 group game format, so I can understand why they have cut one of those ties. I think we need to just cut to the chase and do a random draw, picking two of the qu...

I guess the first feed was via BT Sport 2 which overlapped with the penalties from the Munster game.

One of his hands is okay. Sure that'd be enough https://inpho.ie/cache/inpho/db/df/3d/29152bbb64f1d6edfc5c037c39882823e807e2d165/INPHO_02014230.jpg Might be hard to play with his hand in a boot though. Maybe we can get Doris to wear boots on his hands so all those knock ons can be classed as kicks?

They have us as favourites because we’re at home. Toulouse aren’t as good as they were last season, both Ulster and Munster should had put them away and we’re a much better side than both of them. I think we’ll win by more than a score.

What app do you use to listen to podcasts? If you’re on an iPhone, I’d highly recommend Overcast. It’s overall a great app, but it has a feature that cuts out dead air, so the gaps you’re experiencing will just be removed. Pocket Casts on Android has the same feature if you’re an Android user.
