Tom Ahern (shoulder) and Jack Crowley (foot) picked up knocks against Connacht on Saturday. They will be assessed as the week progresses and a decision regarding their availability for Edinburgh will be made later in the week. In Academy player news, we can confirm that back-row forward Daniel Okek...

Whatever the cost for two people for a three course meal at the reception is a decent shout, so £100 is a go to for me This. I was always told if giving cash, cover the cost of your dinner.

Jeff Buckley at the Tivoli in Dublin. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/jeff-buckley/1995/tivoli-theatre-dublin-ireland-73f40665.html I knew a couple of his songs from the radio, and it was advertised a bit beforehand, so I knew it was on, but I was a shy 16 year old and not the sort to ask my parents ...

Going by these comments I'll have to look back over the match thread to find out how we played! Brother brought my 5 year old nephew to a game last year, he became best friends with the aul lad next to him, and was talking to him the whole way trough, brother was delighted. We’ve brought our kids (...

He is truly underground now ........ :shock: :lol: In Utero was a sonic disaster, the biggest band in the world at the time deserved better than that shambolic demo level production.

I’m delighted to have Max Deegan playing for Leinster next season, I think he’s a top quality player who could push for international honours, and it would be weird to see him play for anyone else. I’ll be very disappointed to not see Max Deegan starting every Euro game for his team next season, I t...

Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum. On the topic, I saw this posted https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNJyTrXX0AAsYMG?format=jpg&name=900x900 Incredible how much the game has changed in the 3...

Have we previously had a thread from any of the other countries asking “Why is our current squad so good?” I cannot remember it happening? The thread was started by a non-Irish poster, I believe? Ireland were notoriously shit for the first 100 or so years of rugby’s existence, the occasional purple...

I agree that they've played a big part. We don't tend to produce great backs these days. Gibson Park, Lowe and Aki were project players while Hansen cane from Australia (Irish mother). All backs. Due to the age of the squad its possible we'll see Ireland take a step backwards in the next year or so...

It comes up on my Netflix recs from time to time. So I’ll give it a pass then?

Is it better or worse than Run Fatboy Run?

Conway was close to first choice when he left, but that was sudden. I thought Conway was injured a bit in his last season with Leinster, and just didn’t get all the games he could have. I got the impression that when he left he was definitely in the plans, and they were sorry to see him go. Was it ...

Was Andrew Conway 2nd/3rd choice? He was another who was a successful move to another province in this case Munster. He was very good for Leinster as well before he left Conway was close to first choice when he left, but that was sudden. I thought Conway was injured a bit in his last season with Le...

Without having heard it, what can he possibly have said about it? And what’s he supposed to say?

That’s a valid point. Even though this was a game that felt like it never should have been close in the first place.

Not untrue though. Ross Byrne is Leinster's biggest weakness. True or not, it’s a shit joke. Someone who writes for a living should either be able to do better, or know to not bother posting that. That was exactly my take on it. If you are going to be a c u nt you at least need to be funny. Looks l...

DOB

We were up high in the Hill, so could see everything, but very far most of the time. Watching Ross try to run after his intercept was hilarious. I need to watch again but he seemed to not back himself at all. Looked like he deliberately slowed because he knew he wouldn't make it and wanted support....

Yep massive favourites
Toulouse massive favourites against a team which have trashed them the last 3 times they faced them? Yeah right

Before this season we were 0/3 against La Rochelle.

Lowe on Conan; “ooooh! Jacky Turnover got the turnover again!”

The second half doesn't seem to have started yet though 70 minutes after kick off

Was there a long delay at the start?

Yes.

I can’t be alone in thinking we don’t try to give Baird the ball in space nearly enough, can I?

So used to hearing “after 15+ minutes, we have our first scrum,” that it’s a real reverse surprise to see so many in the first 9 minutes.

Fair enough, I suppose. Commentator has mentioned the “Cherry and White” multiple times.

I appreciate that they really commit to the bit on it, but

“A heavyweight or just too late

is just trying a little too hard to get that line in there.
