Only real complaint is the lack of sizes for retired props. And a fabric supporters version.

Ordered in optimistic retired prop size. Really like the design. I know there are commercial reasons for Leinster to tie themselves exclusively to Lifestyle Sports but always think it would be great to see Leinster products on sale worldwide.

Always great to see players move up from the AIL to one of the provinces.

Came up through the club system, played with Navan at underage. He's 6'6'' and 18st according to the "interweb" so decent size. We seem to have passed on him as an academy recruit and he went to Connacht but moved on pretty quickly. It will be interesting.

Played with the Navan U20s that won the All Ireland in 2017 (as North Kildare didn't have an U20 team) .

Leo is certainly perfecting the "Brian Cody" pose. Could he last as long?

Tom Connolly also training yesterday, tighthead from Galway currently with Trinity.

Ben Brownlee appears to be the only new academy player out there too, with Culhane, McGuire and Tector still injured and the others on their summer break post u20s.

Is this McKee on the left of the photo? https://www.sportsfile.com/id/2296303/ Looking like a bit of a tank.

I am keen to see Jason Jenkins out there. He needs a Leinster pre-season more than anybody else in the squad. His last match was 03 June, which is more than six weeks ago now.
