Dragons v Leinster match thread

And Ferg to 12?

Kindey's orders or what?

Absolutely. "Make sure you don't play him on the wing in case he has a stormer and the media are on my back to pick him over Keith".

It's not on TV, might as well not happen.

What I'd really love, and hope those travelling keep an eye out for and let us know, is to see if any of the Irish 'coaching' team are over in Rodney parade, what with the game not being televised.

theyre sending Mark Tainton
when they send ministers abroad for Paddys Day we must feel like the country that got James reilly

That's a tiny bit harsh - last weekend was the first home match this season that Gert Smal did not attend and Les Kiss has also been to quite a few.

And too right. We provide the bulk of the panel to the Irish squad, it's only fair to assume that one of the top coaches would be attend our games.

Its Newport, no prawn sandwiches for the blazers there so doubt they will bother themselves....

On way there now, if we spot any will post here.

Not to put too much pressure on the players, but this should be a bonus point win. Dragons are an absolute shambles this season, and we need to keep pressure on the top of the table and keep opening the gap in the play-offs - with Munster hosting Ospreys, one of them will lose out big time and a big win here would cement our play-off spot imo, a BP would put us in driving seat for home semi and also put pressure on Ulster.

It's a very good side that's starting too. It's likely all play-off contenders will win this weekend with exception of one from Thomond Park of course.

ANOTHER game not on TV... FFS !!!

RTÉ and Kidney... major Rugby buzz kill.

if they were sending Beatles we got Pete Best
3 provinces playing same time and we got maybe the 5th most important member of the coaching ticket

Plus if Jackson is being examined for his kicking why not send the kicking coach to see him?

They decided who got which match with a Ronan O'Gara poster and a game of Soggy Biscuit

Is it fair to say we'd all like the Munster men to beat the Ospreys?

Bottom line it for me, what the effing hell is going on with TV coverage?
RTE just not bothered with Leinster/Ulster/Connacht?
