Why not go the whole hog and franchise out teams to private owners ? See how long that lasts as the Cork Langers play their derby match against the Limerick Gowls in front of 3,500 people on some sub LoI pitch in the Cork hinterland. We are where we are. The IRFU have essentially let each province m...

It's also very likely that we'll have Keenan, Frawley, Ringrose, Henshaw, Osborne, Lowe and Larmour away in Ireland camp from the middle of January to the end of March; and that's when Barrett will earn his money.

camroc1

The real reason Barrett is coming to Leinster is probably altogether more prosaic. He's not doing it for money - he could get a damned sight more than the reported € 200k elsewhere. I suspect his 'sabbatical' comes with restrictions on the minutes he is allowed to play, and Leinster are probably the...

So Leinster steal Snyman off us and sign Barrett, while we also lose Frisch and sign Billy Burns! :lol: It is objectively a bit shit Personally think something needs to be don about central contract situation The South African Snyman was let go by Munster, and picked up by Leinster because he wante...

How ? By fúcking Leinster up ? When I were a lad Ulster would have 6 or 7 players in every Irish team. My father tells me that in the '50's it was 8 or 9. What's happened from when players like Alastair McKibben were capped straight out of school, to Ulster importing from Leinster ? What exactly sh...

IRFU are fukking up Irish Rugby medium to long term. Good for Leinster short term, but fukking everyone else. Hopefully Humph can sort it, but not holding my breath. How ? By fúcking Leinster up ?

Between RADGE, CC for Sheahan, and now Jordie. Top lolz from Leinster

Thinking about it, the saving on the central contract for Sheahan probably pays for Barrett and Snyman on its own. It gets better and better !

Especially considering that after all expenses we'll have cleared close on € 2.5m from our last two home matches. 92k tickets sold over the last 2 weekends. Pretty effing decent. Whatever about the away cut and the stadium rent and whatever, very nice windfall for Leinster. Opposition teams will ge...

I just assumed a year given he's taking a years sabbatical from the Hurricanes.

All of it, as far as I am aware.

Just came on to post that. The HSE really is a basket case.

Over a six year period budget increased by € 8 bn and headcount by 30% yet the activity/productivity measure was either negative

, or two times behind headcount growth

, or three times behind budget growth

And in the pack, Furlong, of course, and would you call Milne a product of Birr RFC ?

camroc1

Not sure it's definitely longer but it's a brilliant extra long kicker to have. We've been backing him for about 18 months, injury robbed him of a real stab at the WC squad. It'll be interesting to see if he can step up to international level. It's still a big step down in the power stakes from Aki...

Wasn't it that run of KO games in 2003 that really highlighted that Leinster had a support base that could be accessed? Obviously there was a long way to go in terms of actually being good enough, but it showed that people would buy tickets. Went out against Biarritz in the semi in LR with Bommer m...

Having been a ST holder since the old Donnybrook days, two things in particular drove Leinster. One was 2006 and the win away in Toulouse followed by the disgraceful scenes in and around LR for the SF. I think the team as well as the fans remembered that. The second was the move to the RDS in 2007. ...

Will Scalvi get cited for throwing the punch that caused that schemozzle towards the end ?

Or will it be ignored because LaR were beaten out the door ?

Olé, olé, olé, olé .......... That was the loudest and most feral I've ever heard LR. Thought MoM should have been one of the pack, probably Mc Carthy. How do LaR get away with flopping onto their rucks, and the minute we do it we get penalised ? Dickson is not a good ref, more interested in technic...

What actually happened CM, and as AJ knows, is that plaintiffs legal teams held back on their cases until the Supreme Court decided.

FWIW I read somewhere on Twitter today that last years round of 16 match at LR generated € 1.4m for Leinster, after the € 400k rental fee, and 35% of the gate receipts going to Ulster. It really shows the importance of a home match in the round of 16; and must have Ulster and Munster looking to use ...

Ulster have a core of historically strong schools but the big, big difference to Leinster is the money spent on rugby at the likes of Inst, MCB and Campbell (the three biggest and most affluent rugby schools in Ulster) compared to their equivalents in Leinster.

Do you think the guidelines were "paused" whilst this was ongoing? According to the linked IT report, yes. Did you even read it ?

Following this mornings SC decision, it would appear that the personal injury claims 'payola' is finally coming to an end. And if you won't get any more money by going yo court, the PIRB is going to get lots of business, freeing up lots of court time. https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/202...

Luke Marshall retiring at the end of the season Decent career but what could he have done without the injuries I remember seeing him for the first time at the combined friendly at the opening game in the new Lansdowne (I think it was U20's?).

Official attendance last night was 40,775. @Mr VP Were we, I didn't notice, too busy enjoying our win. Point still stands though.

Hopefully a jury of his peers sends a message to the DPP with a resounding not guilty.

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days.
