Pre-Season 2022/23

Anyone know where to get the those training jerseys, in toddler sizes?

I see Cormac Daly in the training pics. Did Cormac not move to Connacht ? To be fair I haven't kept up whether he's played AIL last season? He was always a 'big unit''; looks even bigger. Another second row option?

Two spells at Connacht - once in their academy and then a short term deal in October 2020. He had a spell at RUNY in MLR as well.

He played for Clontarf last season, both at blindside and in the second row, and was MOTM in the AIL final as a No6. Always struck me as a good fit for Connacht, never understood why they let him go in the first place. A tough, hard-headed player who has good size and very reasonable athleticism.

I'd like to praise Leinster for a commendable lack of marketing gibberish around the new jersey launch - it says what it is, what it looks like, and how it's made.

No more rivers of swords flashing o'er the pale malarkey

Is this McKee on the left of the photo? https://www.sportsfile.com/id/2296303/ Looking like a bit of a tank.

I am keen to see Jason Jenkins out there. He needs a Leinster pre-season more than anybody else in the squad. His last match was 03 June, which is more than six weeks ago now.

Probably injured!

Amen brother. They have got a hell of a lot right with that jersey and that release.

This was originally in jest but I see a photo of him and it looks like he has a broken finger!

Jenkins is doing gym work which is good to see. He needs a full pre-season with our S&C guys.

Good to see Cormac Foley & Harry training too.

Delighted to say that Leinster are doing a preseason country tour in August with open sessions in

Longford RFC 25/8
Kilkenny and Athy 26/8

Nice Ngatai highlights reel.

We're certainly getting a powerful centre with a big boot and a good kicking game.

He'll be a very useful extra carrier against bigger sides. Himself & Lowe in the backline gives a lot of power.
