Would the players be due to fly out today?

Imagine if someone had thought of that say....8 years ago! :idea: https://m.independent.ie/sport/rugby/leinster-rugby/leinster-stars-to-shine-on-small-screen-in-the-academy/34405177.html In my defence, 8 years I was in the height of a sleep deprivation induced by a crying newborn. Tell me, did anyt...

Probably the treble season DVD from 2013? As to why there isn’t more, I’d imagine there just isn’t the demand for it, combined with everything being cheaper to publish on YouTube and other social channels. Honestly i think they are missing a massive income stream. Demand globally is there. But hey ...

Was there rugby in the 90s? My memory from 1991-2000 is a bit hazy. Was that not the foot-and-mouth pause? Picture it. The early '90s a young Mick Galwey had a lot of credit in the bank with the Irish rugby fans and a young flaxen haired, solicitor born in Knebworth taught us all how to hope again....

Man, Ireland are only three wins on from their tenth consecutive failure to win a ko match at the RWC and already at least one Irish media muppet, Eamon Sweeny of the Indo has lost the run of himself, claiming that Faz mór's "juggernaut" is threatening to make a "mockery" of the...

Did we really need that large and prominently placed media section? How many seats for ordinary punters does it take up?

It takes up just over 700 seats

The real travesty of the stadium is the dip where there should be another stand. It shall never not look utterly ridiculous.

Call me crazy, but I think Scotland could be in for an upset in Rome in a couple of weeks. Depends which Italy show up! If it's the crowd that showed up at the Aviva and never bothered to lay a glove on us, not a chance. If it's the world beaters that took the field in the second half against Franc...

One guy on MF mentioned the 11 tackles That guy was a Leinster fan who hangs out there for an extra place to talk about rugby online. oldschoolsocks? he seems to be mostly defending our corner and players on there. not sure why. there's a very vocal minority on there that have serious chips on the ...

love the "happier coach" line in some of the media post match yesterday. kudos to Gatland for managing to manipulate & nurture this. Wales lost 31-7 playing against a team down to 14 for a large chunk of the game and their only score was a dubious penalty try (it looked like Wales bro...

Does anyone have a bead on the Championship permutations? Should we beat Wales with winning BP, and Scotland beat England and both without any kind of BP, at what stage do we become uncatchable? Could we hypothetical win in Twickenham and lose to Scotland, and have a scenario where the Scots win the...

Bent was brought over as a Leinster player who just so happened to be IQ, and due to injuries and sparsity of options and timing was brought into a test side far too quickly. Bent was a victim of circumstance, we'd no other options at that time because historically we were cr@p at developing depth ...

As BR8 says TOT should be rightly cheesed off; from what I've seen he's much better than OJ. He's been good in the tight, and has demonstrated (in tests) good speed, and hands, and decision making. Lets see how Ollie goes - good luck to him. Are we going to call him OJ? Only if Killer is at loosehe...

To play devil's advocate, are we happy to keep guys in the squad who are happy to be third and fourth fiddle despite being good enough to be lead violin? Is that lack of personal and professional ambition a good thing? Is someone willing to play that role not someone we should really be moving on? ...

Can't think of any Ulsterman that made that move previously. Philip Matthews aside, fairly sure he continued playing for Ulster.
Anyone?
