Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
Memories of April 2021 - Leinster went to Sandy Park for the EPRC QF and gave Exeter (the reigning champions) a hiding.
Ulster also won away to Northampton in the challenge cup QF.
Munster had no game that weekend.
The following Monday night, almost the entire OTB programme was about some middle aged prop that munster had just signed from Racing - Leinster & Ulster games got a few minutes at the end of the programme.

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
It’s a pathetic show, I’m unsure if they’re just pandering to a perceived audience or just don’t know anything about the other provinces.
Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
OTB this morning, 20 mins in total. 10-11 mins on demlot. 5 mins on Ulster although they did lose. Eddie Jones gets a mention then 3mins on Osbourne. I don't think the word "Gloucester" was even uttered!Oldschoolsocks wrote: ↑January 16th, 2023, 1:33 pm It’s a pathetic show, I’m unsure if they’re just pandering to a perceived audience or just don’t know anything about the other provinces.
Osbourne to Munster will be the next heave.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
I know it is an utterly meaningless exercise but the RTE Sports website has selected its Champions Cup XV of the weekend. One Leinster player, Osborne, makes the cut along with Henderson and, surprise surprise, Coombs.
Coombs and Crowley are the anointed ones in the eyes of the media. Both are decent players but neither would make the Leinster 23 for a must win game.

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
Coombes scored 2 of Munster's 3 tries and had a big part in setting up the other. He was also top carrier (15) and top tackler (20) in a game where they played an hour with 14 men. I'd say he's in plenty of Champions Cup XVs of the weekend.enby wrote: ↑January 16th, 2023, 4:55 pm I know it is an utterly meaningless exercise but the RTE Sports website has selected its Champions Cup XV of the weekend.

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
7 different Leinster players scored trys, there are other ways of measing success.
Coombes has improved and it's nice to see that he's addressed shortcomings that were pointed out on this forum (but came from Faz).

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
OTB literally had an episode with a fan yesterday (and Quinny and Hayes). I didn’t listen but how pathetic?
Their coverage has been 100% Munster this week.

Do they get many listeners and how is it trending? Asking for a friend...curates_egg wrote: ↑January 18th, 2023, 6:16 am OTB literally had an episode with a fan yesterday (and Quinny and Hayes). I didn’t listen but how pathetic?

I don't mean that as an insult, but BOD and Dunne and ROG and even Wood are easy listening. I don't even mind listening to Ruadhri O'Connor.
But, lately, it is just Quinny and Fiona Hayes, who are both so lacking in insight, there's no point. Fiona Hayes also kept waking me up after I had finally dozed off because she's quite loud
I've given up lately though but still have it on my list on Spotify...that's how I saw this latest episode with an actual Munster fan, as opposed to Quinny and Hayes, who are also Munster fans but at least have something else on their CVs.

Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
Luke Fitz podcast was fairly leinster heavy, not sure many on here would like what was said though.
Re: Taking media & other coverage of Leinster to the next level
It was dreadful alright, they think we have to be weary of the best teams like Toulouse, Stormers, Saracens and La Rochelle. Shocking really, as someone who doesn’t rate any other team we have ever played and think when we lose it’s because of our weaknesses and not other teams strengths I’d say you were livid.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑January 18th, 2023, 2:40 pm Luke Fitz podcast was fairly leinster heavy, not sure many on here would like what was said though.

Ive never claimed we shouldnt be weary of the best teams, of course we should.. we've lost to them in each of the last 4 seasons.
I was more talking about them saying leinster have underachieved over the past 4 seasons.
