Leinster Squad 21-22

[mildlyinterested]

Did Jamie Osbourne get promoted to the full academy during the season?

PS: thanks for your efforts on this thread. Great to refer back to throughout next season.

Yeah I believe he and Hanan joined together in January.

7 tightheads doesn't seem possible. We may be losing McGrath as well.

Bent is gone so it will be 6 with no academy tightheads.

Calean Doris seems to have put on some weight and size

edit, wrong thread

[Oldschoolsocks]

Is there not a Munster thread for the Zebo talk?

Not being precious, it just feels like this discussion ended up here by accident

[Serb]

Ah I think it’s just seeped in here as inevitable comparisons between our squad and their squad have arisen. Agreed that we should just park it and chat about Leinster.

It was expected that Furlong would be tied down to a new two-year deal without delay but it’s understood that negotiations haven’t been smooth.

Last week saw Leinster confirm a raft of provincial contract extensions beyond the end of this season, as well as new IRFU central contracts for Johnny Sexton and Cian Healy, but Furlong’s name was conspicuous by its absence.

Asked for an update on the situation, Cullen indicated that it was out of his control.

“I can give you no clarity, no,” said Cullen yesterday. “I’m sorry, it’s a short answer!

“I’d love to say I can, but I can’t. Like all these things, these negotiations, they play out the way they do. I don’t have any clarity, unfortunately.”

However, Cullen did underline Furlong’s importance to the Leinster squad, with the province remaining hopeful that the IRFU can finalise the Wexford man’s new deal.

“Absolutely, he’s such an important player in the group, Tadhg,” said Cullen.

“You could see we missed him in the group, particularly that early part of the season. I think it was the same [for Ireland], the national coaches would probably say something similar as well. He’s made a big impact since he’s come back just before the Six Nations.

Yes.....yes, I like your thinking sir. I have now made that the reason in my head. I feel better
