Leinster Squad 21-22

Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
There are 2/3 positions where Leinster have struggled at times with inexperienced players: scrumhalf, lock and fullback. You could probably add outside centre too because we were spoilt for so long with BOD and Ringrose. Hard boots to fill. We've been lucky too at hooker.
If we have experience there we can manage anywhere.

Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
Rugby Pass have been making a list of the best players in the world. While it's all very subjective nonsense, it has been interesting to see how Leinster players are perceived. Here's the list of Irish players that made the cut:
97. Josh van der Flier
91. James Ryan
83. Hugo Keenan
82. Ian Henderson
73. Bundee Aki
56. Gary Ringrose
55. Robbie Henshaw
51. Andrew Porter
50. James Lowe
49. Tadhg Beirne
36. JGP
35. Doris
26. Conan
19. Ronan Kelleher
14. Johnny Sexton
4. Furlong
Interesting to see Kelleher and Conan so high on the list.

Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
Henshaw should be way higher than that.

Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
And, with all due respect, JGP has no business being that high
Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
Frustrating that tadhg beirne is one of the best rugby players in the Country at the moment but simultaneously is not even the best rugby player called tadhg in the country.

Munster were “granted an audience with Sheehan but it went no further than that” according to O’Reilly.Dave Cahill wrote: ↑January 16th, 2022, 12:20 am Peter O'Reilly in the Sunday Times reports that Dan Sheehsn signed a two year contract extension with Leinster just before Christmas
That’s great news.

Great news. Cheers for the update!Dave Cahill wrote: ↑January 16th, 2022, 12:20 am Peter O'Reilly in the Sunday Times reports that Dan Sheehsn signed a two year contract extension with Leinster just before Christmas
Dont Panic!
Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
I do love the imagery of JVG or whoever being 'granted an audience' with Sheehan, making his pitch and then being sent away with a dismissive wave.

Great move for him. We have to go to the market and sign a second row, will we be allowed a NIQ one?mildlyinterested wrote: ↑January 16th, 2022, 12:54 pm turns out Jack Dunne is apparently leaving for Exeter..

Re: Leinster Squad 21-22
Piece says Dunne is 'talking' to Exeter, so may not be a done deal yet.
Would be a smart move from Rob Baxter though. Dunne would count as an 'English' player on the books too according to that piece as he was born in London seemingly?
