Was Furlong injured?

I'm only getting the end of the game now. Healy came off injured and Milne came on sending Porter to tighthead.

I'd say that he was being protected

Leo wanted to have a look at the young up and comer at TH

[jezzer]

Thought Frawley did really well. He can do a bit of everything. Hit a ton of rucks.

[the spoofer]

Couple of fairly disappointing performances from guys who should be pushing hard. Larmour, Milne & Deegan haven't been great.

Disagree on Deegan.

[Dave Cahill]

Thought Deegan was pretty decent myself

[Ruckedtobits]

Michael Milne didn't have a good day at 'his office' today. But not many LHP's do when they scrum against the Sharks' tight-heads, Du Toit and, in particular, Sadie. He will however have learned that losing the Ref in such a contest is the biggest failure and he must work to avoid that fate.

His tackling, lifting and carrying were all right up to standard but, at the top level, a loose-head Prop is picked to win his own ball with stability. Milne has improved a lot in the past 6 months and at 18 st plus, is probably heavy enough to fill the role, but he's got to work harder and smarter at scrum time.

Reports on Twitter of James Ryan wearing protective boot at match today. Anyone see this ?

I would direct your attention to the "Re: Heineken Champions Cup Final 2023" thread. It's been covered there

The regular season game was a sell out.
Only 14k today. Disappointing TBH.
Can't say its a finance issue, we're probably the richest fanbase in world rugby.
And I don't want any Tw@t coming on here givin me sh!t about that last sentence. Its probably true, and if not its damm close.
You can see Leo is frustrated by it.
Him, Stuart and the boys are dazzling us, week in week out, and we are like "meh, think Ill watch it on the telly".

Where is the Drunk Post Thread when you need it

19k was it not?

Drunk posts usually contain incoherent sentences and lots of spelling mistakes.
BTW, did you leave the big flag at home today?

19k was it not?

19k would have been a sellout in the portion of the stadium that was open.

14K was the attendance.

[Theleinsterlad]

19k was it not?

Bottom tier sellout is 19k there were large sections of the west side in particular empty

Disagree on Deegan.

Deegans had a decent run in my eyes over the last number of games and I wouldn’t hold the bulls game against him he kept going in fairness. Milne was good everywhere else bar the scrums today and that game will teach him a thing or two. Larmour I haven’t been that impressed with but maybe he is the type of guy that needs a number of games to get back to his best, problem there is there are a lot of upcoming players looking for that spot too

[blockhead]

Yeah Larmour has had chances in the last two weeks and while he hasn't fupped up he hasn't pulled up any trees either. And he needed to pull up some trees. Not many oppourtunities left to impress FAZ.

[ronk]

The early knockout rounds have never really connected with Leinster support. There's so much other rugby going on and so much less time to plan.

The regular season game has season tickets and weeks for fans to plan.

When you put barriers in place, some fans drop out.

50% higher than same game last year

Even by URC standards, this is the worst highlights package I've ever seen.

How on earth do you expect to grow the brand and sell it to new fans when you can't even get the tries in chronological order? This is a recurring issue with professional rugby in Europe. The HCC and 6N are not.....as bad....but still inconsistent. The URC highlights packages are utterly atrocious.
