Calf injury and unavailable for selection this week is all that was said.

At least it's not an achilles, which can take a long time to sort out. Good news that Luke and TOB are available.

The bookies have this as a 2 to 3 point game in Leinster’s favour. That will change once the teams are announced.

Leicester won 27-24 with 3 tries.

Very sad.

Gutted for them.

The bookies now have this as a 31 point game from 24 and have Leinster at 1/100 favourites.

Yes we might need to sign another lock but not that one. Apart from the injury profile dont think it says a lot about the person, his values and his loyalty, given everything that was done for him. Not sure someone that mercenary adds to your dressing room. If the reports about big Mike going to Fr...

The IRFU have reached an agreement with the provinces that allows them to select one contracted player for the Men's Sevens squad from each province - more likely a player who has had prior involvement in the Sevens programme - to compete for a place in the Olympics.. Who are the likely candidates ...

Excellent news! Be interesting to see what he does with his coaching team.

Mike Catt is leaving after the summer tour to South Africa.

I just received my annual unsuccessful email. No surprise.

There’s no mention of Lowe in the injury updates because he’s not injured, we could see him named for this one What about this. “Jack was running before I left and he looked to be running pretty well,” said Cullen. “Tadgh, we’ll see with him. Not a million miles away. “Lowey, we’ll see, probably le...

Well, there's no Furlong or Harry Byrne. But Conan and McGrath look to be involved. Also, Porter's eye looks nasty. You just know they will target reopening that. The complete absence of Lowe from training photos and injury reports is worrying. He took part in some promotional shoot last week, with...

You touch on 2 important points that may have ramifications further down the road, teams will be know we have a big dog in McCarthy who is putting people on notice (I know some will say conversely that he can be rattled, but I genuinely think this is his role...we have a Hulk) Teams may become less...

No great insights from these.

WTF is going on with the ST account access online?? I wanted to check our seat locations for the Stade game in the Aviva, as I want to buy another one as close as possible. Went onto the (useless) Leinster Rugby app. The member access link has disappeared, from the "More" tab. So...I went...

The bookies are currently quoting this as a 24 point game in Leinster's favour, That looks mad to me and I'm sure it will change as the week goes on and when the teams are named.

Here we go again. I just received an email for next year's 6 Nations matches. Fingers crossed but with very little expectation. I have only ever managed to get 2 tickets v Italy once over the last 8 years.
