Winning the Mickey Mouse Championship last year has got a bit of fight back in the Munster lads, although the last couple of weeks has really got to some of them. Nice to see though

ZuLu

Of all the NIQs we have and have had, I think Nacewa would have been the most perfect to have involved for the final last year. Arguably even more than Sexton. No way. Big Bad Brad Thorne. Leinster would have 6 Heineken Cups by now if we'd have had Thorne or even a Hines the past couple of seasons

ZuLu

Completely forgot abou the Uefa Cup final at Lansdowne, Croke Park could be nice change

Craziness is thinking Harry has a chance of starting

Ah yes, the "exclusive" pre-sale link which could be forwarded to anyone. Dunno if they'll get 35-40k. They didn't even get 40k last night and they'd been plugging the match for weeks. Official attendance last night was 40,775. @Mr VP Were we, I didn't notice, too busy enjoying our win. Point still...

Similar to Ireland too tbf

Glad LaR won tbh, nice to have another crack at them next week

Oh dear

Shame I voted for BOD

yeah conservative leo strikes again.

Won't be winning a HC again with him in charge but all this was said last season tbf, would love to be proven wrong of course

Leo was never going to make such a ballsy call

Leinster will take plenty of ‘learnings’ from last season in their approach to selection for the URC run-in, starting on Friday. Beat The Bulls and it will make selection for the 2 away games in SA more straightforward, provided all goes well versus Leicester and La Rochelle. Cullen won’t want a re...

ZuLu

It is a difficult choice tbf. Leinster's potential run-in at the moment is: Bulls (H) Tigers (H) HEC QF vs Stormers/La Rochelle (H) Lions (A) Stormers (A) HEC SF (H) Ospreys (H) Ulster (A) HEC F (N) Connacht (H) With a relatively small lead in the URC table, I think Leinster will take a mixed/blend...

You’d imagine that Leinster will go as fully loaded as possible against the Bulls. A week before back to back European games? I think so. The Bulls remaining games after Leinster are at home versus Munster, Ospreys, Glasgow and Benetton before finishing up away to The Sharks. They beat Leinster and...

Can't see too many playing ahead of possibly two weeks straight of European rugby

ZuLu

Could that last win by Ireland be their swan song? Possibly. Really need another season or two from JGP keeping his zip and the back row needs to be sorted out. The first choice backline is fine, Hansen was a massive miss tbf all tournament as was Ringrose (and Keenan today). The squad isn't lookin...

ZuLu

I do wonder.of it's a conditioning thing and everything was geared towards last October 🤔 We'll see how Leinster finish out the season - must be a lot of fatigue in their squad. Speaking of, was Ringrose concussed again today? Thought Quinlan said he thought he was but play didn't stop and the matc...

His kicking remains an issue. From hand as well as goal kicking.
Best option we have though by a country mile.

Very touchy about Crowley over the past 6 weeks. No one is saying he isn't

Can see England kicking on and having a decent few years ahead, only one championship out of seven, they're due one

Great athlete, England have an insane amount of them in their team right now.

Agreed, don't watch much if Bath at all but really like him

The Saracens lot are absolute whoppers

And again

I'm watching without commentary and England are outrageous with the ref

ZuLu

Just remember the mid to late noughties on here when it had been 20 years since winning one and probably most of us could barely remember it.

Back to back, 5 in 11 seasons

Might have actually done him a favour

Lovely step but to get through Henshaw and Doris there wow

I thought he was quick to blow there, such a crap ref

Woohoo

I was thinking the same, Horan, Hayes, Quinlan all came to mind

No pace to really feel comfortable taking advantage out wide

ZuLu

We've won enough matches over the past few years taking high proportion of chances, this will happen

I'm really enjoying it, would be nervous as fudge had we not won the championship for a few years though

ZuLu

Bit of inexperience there from Nash, he'll learn from it

ZuLu

Counter-ruck pressure the reason for ending the advantage, it was about five seconds just call it back

ZuLu

This ref is shite, sounds like a bit of a twat as well

Edit: sounds a bit extreme
