Rainbow Cup Rd 1: Saturday, 24 April: Leinster v Munster – KO 7.35pm, RDS Arena

Game was lost by no's 1 to 8. Not sure why everyone is scapegoating a 9 and 10 neither of whom have started a game for Leinster and one of whom is just back from an ankle procedure.

Reap what you sow............ If you start all but 1 of your games with either McGrath or Gibson Park don't be surprised when you drop a player in for his 1st start he hasn't the required level of experience.

Yeah I think that's fair. Tricky situation to manage but ultimately HOS should have got more game time in case he was needed in a big game. I can't say I would have been complaining much about past selections but in hindsight we should have played him more.

So Munster's plan to weaken Leinster actually came off for a game as we manage without Carbery and McCarthy.

So Rowan Osborne is gone to Munster. It’s like we have to offer up a player every year to make the crops grow

Makes sense for all concerned. He's 24 and he's not getting games with very little chance of displacing the numbers 1 and 2 incumbents. Hope it works out for him!

Is it just me or does Cormac Foley look remarkably like Augustus Caesar?

Haha!

I was talking to my brother about the game yesterday and he was asking me who the sub scrumhalf was - or in his words, "that chap who looks like a Farquhar– where's your cello Farquhar?"
