I’m really looking forward to this game, even with the irish ints out we will have a good team out and really interesting to see how they perform against a fully loaded stormers team.

Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
Assuming nobody from the National team available, the group I'd love to see on Friday night is:
15. Ciaran Frawley
14. Jordan Larmour.
13. Tommy O'Brien
12. Liam Turner
11. Dave Kearney
10. Harry Byrne
9. Luke McGrath
1. Ed Byrne
2. John McKee
3. Mike Alaalatoa
4. Ross Malony
5. Jason Jenkins
6. Rhys Ruddock
7. Will Connors
8. Max Deegan
Bench
16. Lee Barron
17. Michael Milne
18. Vakh Abdaladze
19. Brian Deeny
20. Martin Moloney
21. Nick McCarthy
22. Ben Brownlea
23. Rob Russell
The pack might come under pressure and the backs might face unusual physicality but it would be useful to them all and our overall pace and skill might give Stormers a challenge.

Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
Looking at Garry Ringrose's video on Tik-Tok there's no way anyone from the Ireland camp will be involved this weekend. Them boys were on a 4 day bender that didn't look like ending anytime soon. Can't begrudge them

A comment under Murray K's Stormers team tweet:
Leinster would want to drop over to Ringrose's house and start firing black coffee & tomatoe juice into a few lads.

Good that Penny isn't injured.
Starting 15 looks solid.
It'll be a huge test against that Stormers side though. Bookies handicap already gone from Leinster - 10 to Leinster - 8 and will probably move further.

Let's hope there aren't too many scrums.

Throw in some cold wind and a bit of rain too.
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!

So close. Swap Tommy O'B for Russell, Vakh for Clarkson and Brownlee to the bench.
Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
Grimaced a little at Larmour at 15.
Just me maybe

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: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
I think we want a dry track. Wet weather means more mistakes, so scrums; and more kicking, which is not Larmour's strong suit.
The more ball in hand the more it suits our backs.

Not just you.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Could be an ugly result.
Could be a surprise.
Should be interesting.

Let's not play the underdog card. This is a very good Leinster team at home in an important game.
Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
TOB, Osborne and Ngatai would make that backline look a lot stronger. Injuries a bit of an issue in the centre at the moment.
