Players find out about academy contracts this Friday. Wilhelm De Klerk rumoured to have already accepted deal at Ulster. should be interesting... they were only going to take one centre IMO.. De Klerk or Berman.. Yikes! I’d have like to see them both come in. Looking at the depth chart it’s a posit...

This is a really exciting match. Top of the table and it leads into European Cup knockout out stages. I would really like Leinster pick a strong side for three reasons: - the fixture merits it; for the credibility of the league, given the strength of the opposition. Also, I remember the semifinal lo...

Kudos to the coaching team for arranging the Sarries and Bath matches. Whilst we were far from perfect yesterday, I think the side looked well organised, particularly in defence, and suspect it was in no small part down to the extra matches. Goodman’s start plays have been really good all season.

I dont agree.

That’s fine. You have your opinion and he has the player of the match award…

because that award is always representative of what happens in a game.

look luke was grand in the 2nd half, but he had a poor 1st half.

Stop digging, you’re humiliating yourself

Very little 'coaching' or chat from the ref throughout, made a nice change. Good point. He also did a countdown after "use it" a couple of times. Nice to see Since 3 days ago, Refs have a new protocol (i.e. it came in on the 20th) A most welcome development. Should speed up the game and c...

Steady on, Ross is off but Luke has controlled this game very well

Line out port regardless of hooker

Is it just that I’m closer to it or do we get an inordinately high number of late withdrawals? I can remember at least five between Harry and Frawley

I’d like to see him get URC game time, he has something about him (aggression and athleticism). Surprised to see Osborne junior ahead of him

They’ll be better and we’re in that dangerous post 6 ario s transition. I really hope we play the spine of the team that will face Tigers, against the Bulls.

I think Baird will play lock with JJ/Molony (most likely JJ) on the bench

I’d rather a durable, Saffa who lives to scrummage

We need five points this weekend. The fringe players have had a few matches against reasonably strong sides, to build some momentum so that should serve us well. What’s interesting is the list of potential starters in our strongest squad, who are unavailable this weekend. Porter, Healy Sheehan, Kell...

Milne MOTM??? Maybe because he’s Italian!!! Deegan should have been given the award for a really strong 80 mins

2024-25 lens, Milne is our second best loose head. It’s in everyone’s interest that he stays

Don’t like Harry at 12. Would much rather BB there.
I think we’ll be really structured, aggressive D, good set piece and starter plays. They’ll play wide wide. To be honest, I’d like us to show some of their ambition with ball in hand. Let’s see tonight

Best of luck to Ross. Great servant to Leinster and I wish him all the best. Hope Barf pay him a bag of catch and that he plays great rugby.
Terrible news about TOB, if true. His career is being plagued by injuries.

If Ross is fit, he’ll start vs Tigers. Will be interesting to see what side is picked for Cardiff. I suspect the intention will be consistency of selection so minimal changes in personnel or position, from the Benetton match. Larmour might come in and the fly half Byrne Supremacy will depend on who ...

Thanks, I saw the update but was hoping one of the many connected posters in this site might have the inside track seeing how opaque Leinster injury updates tend to be!
