Class player and a class human. Sorry to hear that

He hasn't died

Replacements: Andrew, McCall, Kane, Regan, Allison , St...

No chance would he be in the squad if the only way to get him on was to put him on the wing. No point whatsoever

ZuLu

As soon as they said on commentary they weren't showing a replay of the Leavy incident you knew his career was at risk. I'm not too confident but I hope for his sake he can at least return to provincial quality.

ZuLu

A proper victory too, no asterisk next to it

You are such a wet wipe

ZuLu

Jackman was immense around that time. Let's not forget that. Wasn't Test quality but outstanding for Leinster

ZuLu

At the moment, only Furlong and Ryan although Furlong seems to be perma-broken. Could be a transition couple of seasons for Leinster and Ireland it seems.

And the Ringrose love is too much at times. Forcing him in the side instead of Darce at 12

ZuLu

Saracens putting in a great performance. Cop on Duff ffs

ZuLu

Great decision to let Jordi go in the end

ZuLu

Leinster always struggle in Teams of the Season due to the amount of rotation that takes place

ZuLu

I'm not sure I agree with this Cullen doesn't get enough credit line

ZuLu

Expecting POM to have a stormer, plenty of carries and tackles

ZuLu

That format

why even bother

ZuLu

The state of that first red card for Connacht

I honestly think if I was new to rugby I wouldn't bother. It's broken beyond repair

ZuLu

Why don't the Saffers just fudge off and play their own comp

ZuLu

I see Munster have gone for two stars on their jersey. Bless.

ZuLu

No wonder AB comes out with so much garbage if that's what Italian coverage is feeding him.

ZuLu

Richards is awful, laughing like a lunatic at anything, thinking being loud makes you a decent pundit

ZuLu

You seem like a massive creep Liathroidigloine

ZuLu

Another European Cup over the next few seasons and Cullen gets in. Not quite at the moment though, wasn't good enough as a player to usurp Schmidt if we're having a coach up there IMO

ZuLu

It definitely would cap off a bonkers year if Saracens were to win the thing

Jumper wrote:So the same type of posters who claim that POM/Murray/Stander are over the hill at 30, are saying that Ryan and Archer should be at their peak at 32.

Just want to bump this again

ZuLu

Salanoa a Leinster product now :lol: :lol: :lol: The same people who were foaming-at-the-mouth at him being a Leinster player are now foaming-at-the-mouth at him being a Munster player. You couldn't make it up. Who is foaming at the mouth? :uhoh: Even your use of hyphens comes across as c u ntish

ZuLu

Conan was the form back row in Ireland before his injury, as much as it pains our man Fest.

ZuLu

Leinster bordies taking things pretty hard https://i.ibb.co/gVxsHzy/265-EE444-6-B4-B-42-D9-9-DD8-D6-C89-BAC9-E40.gif Best go easy on them. That little asterisk comment is all they have got to console themselves that they are the New Money of Irish rugby. Of course. First they released Leinster isn’...

ZuLu

I see a couple of the Leinster fb pages are in complete meltdown with that sort of rhetoric :lol: If leinster fans dont complain about this then IRFU will think they don't care about the province being used to prop up the other provinces. Isn't the tribalism of irish sport one of it's greatest stre...

This has to be the worst post of the whole thread.

ZuLu

It is interesting though how even the best, most consistent players tend to have a dip. Maybe POC the only one who didn't?

ZuLu

His level did drop a bit from say an 8 every match to a 6-6.5 for a season or two, agree with Fest

ZuLu

That's my way of thinking too. He was the main reason we pushed on as a province almost, mustn't be underestimated

A lot have been asking the same about you for over a decade

ZuLu

After more thought, I'm not happy with Cullen and MOK in the second row. Toner has to be there if we're going for longevity. Hines or Ryan if we're going for quality (at least a full season to be considered in this regard, hence Thorn wouldn't come into it)

ZuLu

On the Leinster XV debate, it really depends if we're valuing longevity or quality. In terms of quality, Hines and Elsom have to be in ahead of one of the SRs and Jennings. Strauss was a lot better player than Cronin for a few years too

ZuLu

Ferris misses out for all the injuries, clearly

ZuLu

No wonder the rest of the world despises the Kiwis

ZuLu

ATYCLB is underrated imo

I agree, Simon Shaw in that 2nd Lions test that year as well. Still raved about today.

By who?

ZuLu

Why would they? Perfect system to be training in. Leavy might not be up to speed again, plus there are always injuries. Same again next year really
