Frawley extended. Guess he's happy enough being a utility back. Fair, he's picked up a lot of Leinster Euro caps doing it. Utility back/bench is his level unless he moves. I was about to type bench cover, but that's an increasingly irrelevant put-down in the modern game. There are 23 starters, they...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
It's going to be fascinating. If you can get your attack going then you'd be expecting to be able to put a fair few points on the board against that defence. But your attack absent Keenan and Ringrose (and give R Byrne limitations) hasn't been firing. Equally, your D is far better than Quins. But is...

Relief is the main emotion. That was a bad 2nd half performance. Kudos to Saints. They never gave up.

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
They played less rugby in the second half but their error rate was also much lower. Both their tries were caused by kicking in behind and watching the chaos of Leinster not dealing with it unfold. Reminded me of England in the six nations. Only they also had an attack that clicked. Keenan a huge lo...

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Tyler Bleyendaal will sort your attack out. Not with Byrne Snr at ten, mind you.
He might well sort it out by having ye play nine man rugby with 6-2 bench splits.
And ye'll learn to love it

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Saints should've subbed Mitchell sooner.

Certainly in second half. Really Leinster, w...

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Think Leinster will be annoyed at themselves there. Stopped going through the gears for much too long until stung by the Saints blown chance. Should be further ahead for the level of control exerted.
Keenan is a huge bloody loss to the backline cohesion in attack.
