Leinster Rugby have it down to a fine art (sic) at this stage. Plus it means eff all with the dreaded captain's run and pre-match warm-up to come, when, as we well know at this stage, anything can happen......
Leo is definitely very, very well PR trained.
Re: Bath v Leinster Sat 1pm The Rec C4/Virgin/BT
horrible evening; really wet rain. Also 'flag gate'', although no one stopped me with my homemade 2 piece 6ft flagpole/large flag.

Always interesting to have a look over the fence and see what our opponent's fans are saying about the game. I cant recall a more downbeat discussion amongst fans regarding their team's chances

Jimmy Lowe is out for Saturday anyway. IRFU says muscle injury has him out for a few weeks
Re: Bath v Leinster Sat 1pm The Rec C4/Virgin/BT
Interesting to see who we select as wingers now.
Byrne at 14 and JOB at 11 maybe?

Dave Kearney needed and hopefully Larmour available. JO'B still a stopgap on the wing.
Re: Bath v Leinster Sat 1pm The Rec C4/Virgin/BT
Where's Rory O'Loughlin these days?

Re: Bath v Leinster Sat 1pm The Rec C4/Virgin/BT
Is ROL out of contract this summer? Feels like a guy who might need to move.
Re: Bath v Leinster Sat 1pm The Rec C4/Virgin/BT
O’Loughlin will be gone for sure. Frawley is getting the minutes he would have gotten in previous seasons. Can’t really see a way back into the squad for him now.
Re: Bath v Leinster Sat 1pm The Rec C4/Virgin/BT
As Rev. Captain Samuel Clayton remarks in The Searchers, Rory O'Loughlin "fits a lot of descriptions".
Rory has been a very valuable, McFadden-like, player who has filled in for us pretty seamlessly over the years in some big matches.
He is not first choice, and probably never will be, but which of the new young backs are better in the centre/wing positions?
It would a pity to lose him.

Bookies have it Bath 25/1, and Leinster 1/25 with a handicap of 25 points.
I love the symmetry of that.
