2 out of the entire 23? Ouch! Still, its 2 more than Connacht. The derby in the Aviva seems to be where they want to exact their revenge.

Ulster are also playing on Good Friday, away to Glasgow. How will this affect all the Ned Flanders types on the team?

Re: JOC signs for Bristol

Can any of you anoraks out there compile a list of the Leinster exiles? Is there a thread already on this? It just seems that there is an awful lot at the moment. Its a good thing for now as we are keeping our best and it shows that we are producing quantity and quality. Hopefully they can filter ba...

Re: The Quickening. Last one under Rabo sponsorship.

We've gained 8pts on Munster this year in the league (last 5 games). Missing almost the entire first team too! GO MOC!

Well said ABoy. 1. The true comparison between the different leagues relative strength is the Heino. And in that the Rabo is not doing too badly at all ta very much. 2.

Re: Munster 2013/2014

Munster will be the only team ever to win all their games v Welsh teams in the league EVER if they beat the Scarlets on Saturday. Even in their all conquering season in 10/11 when they only lost 3 games in the league, they lost to us, Treviso & the Dragons. The following season when we only los...

Re: Sneak Peak - RDS Redevelopment Plans

If, as part of the WC plan the RDS was redeveloped. Would/Could Leinster get some autonomy on match day? Maybe get some share of sales of beverages and food etc?

Re: Leinster v Glasgow

Top of the League! Could end up being a very significant result come the end of the season. If Glasgow had won then a home semi spot would have been out of our hands. Still a bit to go but that last few minutes was a potential 7 point swing which we won. Terrible stuff from us to be fair, Madigan is...

Re: Ulster Rugby 2013/2014

I thought the ref was excellent! Had no influence on the result or the margin of the result. The Dragons players bitched a lot to the ref but couldn't see too much wrong with the big decisions.

Re: Ireland v Italy

just for the record and I've said it before, my first choice wings for Ireland would be Bowe and Zebo. Bowe because of his proven class and Zebo because of his pace. I got to watch just a bit of the Munster v Ospreys match last weekend and noticed 2 things, one was obviously Zebos scorching pace for...

Re: Embra v Ospreys

Big slip from the Ospreys there. Hope we can take advantage tomorrow, and if Munster win then its the 3 Irish teams heading off into the distance with the rest scraping for playoff spot.

Re: Ulster Rugby 2013/2014

Great performance from Bowe. Top class player. Hits the ground running. Henderson is going to be an awesome lock.
