Do Leinster legend Tshirts still exist? Would be great to get Ross one before he left. The first one we did was for Girv, the original club man anti-hero, selfless and played his guts out for the club. Ross is exactly that type of player.

A lot of comments are making the assumption that the IRFU are funding this when in honesty 90% of the rugby public don’t have a clue (me included), but that aside who is to say this isn’t privately funded like marque signing in the past in Munster and Ulster, I’m fairly sure there are private inves...

Very good player, superb line out operator with a massive work rate and one of the leadership group, there'll be a big hole where he used to be. Best of luck to him, hope it goes well for him at Bath.

Not sure how reliable this is, but I have heard that tickets will go on public sale at 10am on Friday and are an average of €10 cheaper than for last year's semi-final at the Aviva Stadium - down on average from €49 to €39. Premium tickets this time around are priced at €90 for Premium, Category 1 ...

Scott Robertson in the NZ press "Jordan was very clear that he wanted to use the sabbatical to improve his game" "We will help him achieve that while making sure he is looked after mentally and physically. After months of discussion and collaboration with Leinster, we feel they are th...

Sure, they wouldn't know what to do with him. It'd be like expecting a McLaren to do the work of a combine. They'd know exactly what to do with them. They sign international centres every season and get them to play below their potential. It's part of their DNA. They have signed plenty of box offic...

Box Office move.. Munster fans only jealous that its not them. Some of the commentary around this signing is absolutely mad. Appreciate how frustrating it must be for fans of Ulster and Munster to see 2 big signings who are an add ons to an already very strong team. However, our resource base is wh...

Maybe I was right after all ?

quite possibly we will soon find out.

Leinster post says that someone is flying in to sign from 18k km. The distance from Dublin to Taranaki is 18,446km.....

If teams don't want to compete or feel they can't they shouldn't be in the tournament. It's not just this game, we're selling a lot of tickets for games at the RDS and Aviva where weakened teams are showing up to get hammered, that's not a contest or what sport is all about. This is particularly bad...

From Leinster: " 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 🤩 💙 Our Hooker has signed a new two-year deal with @IrishRugby and Leinster Rugby. 🙌" We've had worse weeks :D A no brainer, Dan is not just one of the best players in Ireland but one of the best in the world at the moment. Very well deserved.

Just re watched the first half again and I thought JJ had a really good game. He brought everything we wanted from him in terms of using his size, covered the ground and had some really big moments (great last ditch tackle to allow Larmour a turn over in the first half). Wasn't perfect (I know he g...

Be interesting to see how tickets are priced. Think Leinster did a really good job of pricing to ensure that we had nearly 100k people at 2 games within a week. Do they control pricing at this game or is it the EPCR? EPCR Laissez la gougeage commence! Exactly. Would not be surprised if they didn't ...

Gotta laugh at all the whinging about RoG being booed. Make no mistake, this is nothing more than pandering to Munster fans, especially people from Cork. Leinster players booed often in TP down the years. Leinster players given nicknames like Daverage and Kneeslip. Leinster referred to as Ladyboys....

A player of Ringrose"s expirence, ability and intelligence is a big loss for us but I have a feeling that Osborne's name will be mentioned a lot during the post match celebrations agree with this. he's impressed so much recently. feel for Harry a bit but horses for courses. Hmm...... Ross has ...

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...

A few thoughts. Firstly I pop in here as it tend to be a different viewpoint. Munster aren’t actually doing too badly at all. We have our strengths and weaknesses. One of the biggest big bears I often have is the comparison business of one province v another. Each have their one unique set of chall...

Bizarre if bulls are "throwing" this match .... why did they bother against Lyon only to do this? or more pertinently, why didn't they take the risk of playing their B team against Lyon in Pretoria and/or sending their B team to Dublin ? Their last 5 league games are all winnable WITHOUT ...

Bulls leave 11 Springboks at home for crunch Champions Cup play-off - Seems that early report was correct

Media in South Africa suggesting the Bulls have left a host of first-team regulars at home for Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final against Saints. Team news tomorrow at midday. Jake White is hugely sceptical about any SA side going far in the Champions Cup (saying they just don’t have the resourc...
