Something to look forward to.

2011 and 2012 Champions Cup winners return!

The @ChampionsCup winning teams will in the RDS for our game with Glasgow on 26 November.

The squads will be led onto the pitch by our legendary former Head Coach, Joe Schmidt.

Any chance the great Munster team that beat South Africa last week could join them?

[Dave Cahill]

Thats pretty cool

[wixfjord]

That's brilliant, and will get probably another few hundred people through the turnstiles. Fair play.

Hopefully there's a bit of PR done the week before to make people aware.

[the spoofer]

I'll definitely make the trip up for this.

Burst out laughing in a crowded lift when I read that.

Honestly though what's the occaison, is there a get together of some sort.

They had what turned into a rather infamous get-together for the 2009 team back in 2019. Perhaps they had planned to do something similar for the 2011 and 2012 teams but were delayed due to Covid issues. Also handy that Joe is up in this neck of the woods at the moment too.

Good opportunity to announce Isa as Stu's replacement!!

Doing things like this could bring in an extra 50k in ticket sales.

I presume this was thought up by advertising.

Had it in my head he was injured. Move to Turner to the wing so

[wixfjord]

Hopefully we'll see a few guys like Kelleher and Baird, along with more lightly used Irish squad guys like Joe McCarthy, Healy and possibly Keenan back for this.

Reckon we’ll have a few more available. Should get more clarity shortly but Kelleher, Larmour and Harry Byrne could all be available. Would expect McCarthy to be in the 23 too.

Russell was sporting some heavy strapping in the Chile game and received treatment a couple of times. Suspect Keenan won’t feature either. Osborne will be involved.

Turner really stood out for me vs Chile, his general play, his leadership and attitude. Up until last Friday I hadn't understood at all, what the Leinster coaches saw in the guy. Now I do.

Good to have some guys coming back in.

Sounds like Lowe & JL will be back for Europe too.

Team I'd go for:

Byrne, McKee, Mike, Molony, McCarthy, Rhys, Penny, Deegan, McGrath, Ross, DK, Ngatai, Osborne, Turner, Cosgrove,

Kelleher, Milne, Vakh, Jenkins, Baird, Foley, Harry, Russell

Getting a few other Irish guys into the mix would be great too.

[cormac]

Some of the Ireland squad players back in training with Leinster today (gym session).

Ross, Deegan, Joe McCarthy. Jenkins, Ngatai and Vakh back from their international travels too.

Few of the long-term injured doing weights too.

I'd start Kelleher. It's not like he's coming in cold.
