Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

Molony and Jenkins have each played 15 games with 5 league games left and up to 5 more knockouts. That's a massive amount of gametime.

We probably are tight for next year unless we've very positive that Soroka will bolt, and maybe even then.

He's an IQ centre, they haven't even signed a centre yet for next season, sure they were looking.

I think that's in their contract.

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

Doris had his legs taken from under him. Happened on the far side of the ruck so I can understand that the picture didn't look good. One of Jenkins penalties was manufactured when he was cleared out onto the ball. Some of that was balanced by calls against them. I thought our discipline was general...

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

It would mean sending a bigger squad and paying for extra flights.

Not everyone can afford a week in Fota to save 6 hours travel time.

Jenkins has played 3 weeks in a row, 15 games this season and with Ryan gone we're tighter at lock.

The only upside is that he'd be glad of a trip home.

Re: Munster 2023/2024 - Return of the Jedi????

I know we all, myself included, love to give out about POM around here but it is good to see that he is being afforded the opportunity to bow out on his terms. IRFU and Munster owe him that. I do however think that the time has come for Faz and/or his temporary replacement to move on from him as ca...

Gibson-Park sold Dickson a pup and got a peno off Kerr-Barlow that one scrum where he fed the ball into the scrum and straight out route one without Sheehan's boot even touching it. Aldritt with justification protested loudly bout that one, but them's the breaks, I guess. :lol: :lol: :lol: That was...

They're putting pressure on them not to have an embarrassingly low turnout due to their own greed/idiocy.

There are 3 URC games after we get back.

We could get 2 bonus point wins down there and still come 4th or 5th (I haven't looked at scenarious where teams take points off each other).

It was - first one was on Doris for sealing off, second on Doris for holding on (this was the really dubious one). Doris had his legs taken from under him.

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

To be fair on McRae his side of it is that O’Gara attacked his testicles in the previous two contacts they had in that game. He was defenceless at the time. I have seen myself O’Gara doing stuff like taking a detour on the way back to rejoin play to stamp on an injured player so his story may have ...

Re: Croke Park to host major Leinster rugby games

I prefer to ignore everything Jones says normally. Last year he gave out loads about us getting a "home" final. We actually got the same allocation as LaR and the final was sold out before we knew we were in it. The fact that the previous final was in the south of France was never an issue...

Perspective is needed now. We have just won a quarter final, playing very well in knocking out the holders. Thats it, no more. Its time to move on and prepare for the next challenges both in URC and Europe. We have 2 trophies to compete for and win. Thats all that matters now and anything concernin...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

Last 6N under Schmidt England did it to us. Our wingers couldn't join the line as soon as the ball went past their outhalf. Having multiple kickers prevents the defence from concentrating on stopping one thing. It works in the same way that we have options for ball carriers, it isolates defenders so...

Do you think that ROGs antics and his standing with of Leinsters fans (and you would assume players) will hurt any future chances of being a future Irish coach? I, for one, would certainly hope so. Thats the vibe I would think a lot of people including influential people will have. A bit too anti-e...
