Baird? Penny maybe in the October after school?

Hawkshaw, Baird, Penny, Milne in 2018

Did Inigo not play for Stradbrook on the weekend? I saw his name on the team sheet starting at 7

Why? We’re allowed to do it in the Aviva

Apparently over 33,000 tickets have already sold before it even goes on general sale tomorrow that’s fantastic - also likely to be a good crowd from Northampton on those numbers That's fantastic! Getting over 50k would be massive! Am I the only one who expected it to sell out? It’s the first Leinst...

That's terrible news and is the opposite of the Leinster Way. Signing Snyman is bad enough, this compounds it. He’s the reason Ireland lost to NZ. Clutch player who always performs well on the biggest stage. He’s the type of player that would make the difference between us winning or losing a final...

Heard that this morning. Incredible signing

Ringrose has played 1 game since Jan. We've got the SA tour and straight into the semi. There's no easy way to bring him back in for this game. The only way- and probably not a bad way, if fit, is to send Gary on the SA tour. Those two matches will tell if he is ready to come back into the “big mat...

Will Conners starting this weekend. VDF on the bench

Can’t remember the number but they’re only allowed to play a certain amount of games. Most of them aren’t allowed to play any more games until the JWC warm up games

De Klerk
Murphy
All joining Ulster academy

I know Berman and De Klerk are because they weren’t offered contracts at Leinster. Not sure if Murphy is joining Ulster because he was offered a Leinster academy contract. I can see why he’d choose Ulster instead though

Having seen Sam Berman up close in a big game yesterday against Tarf, if it's true that he's going to Ulster we've missed out on a gem there. He was superb Both centres, Sylvester and Berman, were good yesterday, particularly defending. I'd be disappointed if we end up with neither de Klerk nor Ber...

Kritzinger actually hasn’t been confirmed yet. Gonna wait till after the JWC. Berman and De Klerk off to Ulster.
Ruben Moloney, Oliver Coffey, Usanov, Spicer and McLaughlin have been offered contracts so far.

Concussed

Kritzinger from what I’ve heard didn’t get a contract. Must be Berman or De Klerk given one See above .... both Berman and DeKlerk have been offered Ulster academy deals With those 3 centres bit of a strange decision to not take any of them . I can confirm Kritzinger was definitely offered a Leinst...

I’ve been told it’s a done deal on Kritzinger he already got offered an academy contract

Just checked there he was in Irish u18s camp in December 2022

Gabriel doesn't have an Irish passport or any real near term prospect of getting one, either through naturalization or association (unless someone in Terenure formally adopts him 8) ) ..... so the only route for him to become IQ is the 60 month wait. How long has he been here? 18 months? So another...
