Anyone know of any bars in Boston showing tonight’s match? I'm Boston-based but only just saw this, sorry. Hope you found somewhere to watch it. Couple of possible places are The Dubliner right by Government Center, or the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge. I've recently watched matches in both of those...

If it’s anything like ‘01 they’ll shiver their proverbials off in Canberra and Melbourne.

Tickets for France v Ireland in the 6 Nations are on general sale on the FFR website. Easy to register. Must be bought in a 2 match package with France v Australia in November.

Is Keenan fit? If not, does Jimmy continue at FB or Osborne moves there to accommodate a fit Ringrose.

Watched it with an international ref, he said it wouldn't stand in real time, and nothing he saw changed his mind. We need to go easy on them. They must be hurting badly. Pretty obvious the ref made the correct call. They are a Gibson-park injury (given his age, he doesn’t have long left) from fall...

I was in favour of Deegan starting, it was deserved. But if you observe him in this clip, it doesn’t make for great viewing. His body language is awful. https://x.com/championscup/status/19187 ... Vbs0P6ezoA

That looks like a worrying injury for Conan. Fingers crossed for him.

Nice bit of rotation for Leinster. TOB and Deegan rewarded. Some bench! Leinster Rugby (caps in brackets): 15. Hugo Keenan (72) 14. Tommy O’Brien (41) 13. Garry Ringrose (134) 12.

Very good Molecast today. Lots of interesting bits but one that struck me was questioning (to an extent) IRFU player welfare programme. They asked why weren't Healy and Murray playing at the weekend? What are you resting them for? Both could have made a difference at least off the bench in tight ga...

Huge potential, unlucky that Murphy has been on fire and Blade has lots of experience, which has limited his opportunities. Needs to tighten up on his overall control as everything is 100 miles an hour but would like to see him get a few more starts now that Murphy is out. He has an unbelievable br...

FidesEtRobur

Sounds like Boyle, Slimani, Snyman, McGrath and Barrett along with Nienaber have gone back to Dublin. Expect a more experimental Leinster team to line out against the Sharks, particularly after all those concussions. I see Cian Healy is out in SA. So looks like Boyle will be on the bench v Harlequi...

Nice to see Dromara GAA club’s Facebook page make a bit of a fuss of the 8 players they had on the Wallace High School cup winning team including the Captain Jon Rodgers who was a county minor last year. That’s the kind of thing that should give Ulster supporters hope if it can be replicated across ...

Fixed That debate was settled at the Olympics thankfully, he’s Irish and proud! It wasn’t really. Carl Frampton said he wanted to fight under the Irish boxing association, yet considered himself to be 100% British. The most important thing today was the flag that was raised. Very proud moment.

The ‘Rock 7 Michael O’Sullivan had a good game. A Kerry native, he’s in the Munster system. Selected for Munster and Ireland U19s this year.

Mentioned it before but is there a brick and mortar Leinster shop? Or just see what Elverys have in stock? Going to the zoo today and flying out tomorrow. Question for you DOB. Why did you go to Rock if you lived a 10minute walk from Mary’s 11 year old me had little say in the matter, and back in t...

Speaking of pace, I was hoping they’d keep Tommy O’Brien in the squad for Italy. He won a national silver medal in the 110m hurdles when in school and is the fastest player in the Leinster squad. And he can tackle. Hopefully he can stay fit and put a run of games together for Leinster.

FT 38-17. Rocks 8 was excellent as were 13, 7, 5 and 14. For Roscrea their 12, 13 and 8 were very good. I know Pres and CBC in Cork and Roscrea indeed have had some success in GAA and interestingly ‘Rock are also in the FAI All-Ireland Senior Schools cup final next week having already won Leinster ...

No respect for his body.

You are the poster getting annoyed because people are discussing Ulster rugby in an Irish rugby thread!! More Ulster winning and less Ulster whinging would be welcome. Soccer is on the rise in NI, GAA is thriving but Ulster Rugby is a shitshow. It is shocking that no Ulster player is worthy of a pl...

Maybe from Munster supporters. But when the nordies see this........ :uhoh: The cold hard truth is that a a brand Munster Rugby is worth far more to the IRFU than Ulster. We also have more debt and only have one government to receive hand outs from. So it's in their, and all Irish supporters by pro...

Happy for him (and for Leinster/Ireland). Pretty damning indictment of Leo’s stewardship IMO. Clearly backed the wrong horse and here we are. Three seasons later. Well given Prendergast is now starting 10 not Frawley or Harry. There is nothing to suggest either Frawley/harry the only real 2 options...

There is currently no one from Leinster in the setup.
I think I'm correct in saying that all the management staff with the exception of Easterby and O'Connell have had associations/roles with Leinster?
Farrell himself?

Sure doesn’t his young lad go to Rock

Maybe Something like

Boyle, Sheehan, Furlong
McCarthy, Ryan
POM, Conan, vdF
Murray, Crowley
Nash, Osborne, Ringrose, Hansen
Keenan

Porter, Kelleher, Clarkson, Henderson, Baird, Doris, JGP, Prendergast, Henshaw

Doubt we’d get away with 9 replacements

Porter was everywhere, had the Scottish scrum under pressure and played over 70 mins. Himself or JGP for me. They’re Ireland’s two most important players.

Murray Kinsella reporting Nash in for Hansen. Just watched Stormers v Bulls in URC. If Stormers had a kicker they would have won but Bulls claimed a BP win. That leaves Bulls 14 points behind Leinster with a game in hand. Their remaining 5 games are at home in Pretoria. Outside chance of top seeds ...
