Athlone is in Leinster, it's Athenry you're thinking of.

In terms of absolute numbers, maybe. In terms of top quality homegrown players, there's only one winner.

I presume Boxy is referring to the Munster squad for this weekend as opposed to the actual squad. I may have missed some but I count 15/48 non Munster players in the Munster squad compared to 7/44 in the Leinster squad.

I am of course looking at matchday squad.

And PER CAPITA

Or almost double : 31% as opposed to 16%.

Leinster is absatively riddled with Munsters, why can't they play a role?

Where did he spring from?

Carrickfergus RFC but played schools rugby at BRA with Matthew Dalton.

Think he’s at Hinch now but may be wrong

On that, heard there’s problems at Ballynahinch

Ballymena I believe

Sexton's 150th Leinster Cap, Toner's 220th.

Reckon Toner will catch D'Arcy's cap record? Only 37 behind. How many games does Toner typically get through each season?

18-20 for Leinster.

He will almost certainly break it, just a matter of when.

Nolanator wrote:Reckon Toner will catch D'Arcy's cap record? Only 37 behind. How many games does Toner typically get through each season?

Barring a serious injury he'll definitely do it. He's 32, a pup still for a second row.

Also remember that D'Arcy lost the guts of a season and a half with his arm break.

Addison out, Nelson in.

I wish the lad well but he really isn’t up to it

And from a hideous Nelson kick cheetahs cut ulster open

WTF

Gilroy out too?

Shanahan try after a cave break. Jesus, defence optional it seems

Cave timed that to perfection the Cheetahs thought he was running a dummy.

The commentary team will mention why soon I’m sure...

In fairness robson didn’t seem to know when he was reading the teams pre match

Shanahan back to form throwing a pass into the ground

Jesus wept. Don’t f**king panic. Great break by burns then throws the offload into the player clearing out

Forcing things far too much. We need to keep it simple heading into the InterPros and build some possession and confidence.

Big Stu joined the defensive line there and then just waved the carrier through. He's lucky that it was knocked on at the next ruck.

This is shaping up as bad as last week

Anyone know what channel this is on in Ireland? Doesn’t seem to be on eir

Thought that was Treadwell. So many horrible mistakes and it seems they have forgotten the basics they were getting right at the end of the season.

Thought the offload was forward there. Take the conversion quickly ffs

He reached out and the hand went backwards.

Kicking down their left wing seems to be a decent option.

No in fairness it was obvious at all and whitehouse usually lets those go but I thought the TMO might have come in just.

Ffs dropping like flies

Got out of jail there. Our clearout work just isn’t good enough.

Yer man just flopped on top of the ruck and started lifting the ball.

Wasn't that long, he did it in the 6N and he was back playing in the subsequent 6N.

Ffs herring. Who the fudge is calling it to the f**king tail too!
