There was significant discussion around Sheehan moving to Munster. They definitely expressed an interest in making that happen. I’m sorry but you’re missing my point. Munster met with Dan Sheehan but Sheehan decided to sign a two year extension with Leinster. All sorted before Christmas. So why wou...

Should be interesting to see what sort of names we come up with for a NIQ second row signing. Not a huge amount of really top class options out there given the RWC cycle is closing in you'd imagine. The Premiership might be a good hunting ground if teams are looking to reduce the salary cap. Vaea F...

This issue was settled before Christmas.

Where was the bad vibe coming from?

Complete and utter rubbish.

Sheehan signed a two year extension with Leinster before Christmas.

Munster were “granted an audience with Sheehan but it went no further than that” according to O’Reilly.

That’s great news.

Delighted to hear that. I always thought Dan would back himself at Leinster.

Dreadful stuff all round bar Tadhg Beirne.

Is this speculation actually based on anything? I didn’t hear what Murray K said but I haven’t seen any direct quote and it doesn’t seem to have gained any traction anywhere. Unless I’m missing something I can’t see anything at all when I search Twitter. There’s nowhere else I really look for rugby...

I’m surprised tbh. I remember watching him for the U20’s and I thought he was exceptional but he had a shocker last weekend. Seemed to be almost trying too hard.

Yeah, I'd say the pressure will tell. First choice, more money and caps v's possibility of winning something shiny at the end of a season. Yeah the IRFU pressure is the issue. The IRFU tried to pressure Andrew Porter to move earlier in his career and Porter refused. Hopefully Sheehan does the same....

Jimmy Gopperth wasn't the issue, MOC was. He consistently refused to select Madigan at OH and develop him for the national team. He lost his job as a result. I could be wrong but did Cooney leave because of MOC too or was that on Joe's watch. Gopperth was and still is a better player than Madigan. ...

That red has likely cost Munster the game, but thankfully Ulster look like they are just as poor as Munster.

What did you think of JVG's pre game interview?

A bit prickly. Murray K stayed professional.

Why is Carbery called “Flake”?

Really? If so the rumours don't come out for some reason. I'd strongly suspect that Leinster haven't approached half the Munster and Ulster squads. Where are all the stories about Ahern and Kendellan? Don’t be ridiculous. Both players are out of contract in the summer. They are allowed to talk to o...

Sheehan and Frawley are both out of contract in 2022. Of course Munster and probably other Irish provinces are talking to their agents. They would be silly not to. Personally, I think both players will stay with Leinster. Time will tell. Really? If so the rumours don't come out for some reason. I'd...

Rumours doing the rounds down here that there are discussions ongoing to have Sheehan move to Munster for next season. Where did you see the rumours? Nothing in print. But hearing that Sheehan and one other unnamed Leinster player are being courted. Sheehan and Frawley are both out of contract in 2...

Sad that there's so little outrage on a Leinster forum at the potential loss of such strength and depth from our squad. Losing these too would significantly impact our capability to win silverware. It’s only rumours at the moment and Murray K only referred to it on the podcast in a very odd way. Mu...

Common sense should prevail and Montpellier v Leinster should be rescheduled along with the other games cancelled this weekend. Let’s see what happens.
