We're getting to that time of year where one or more Leinster back row player starts getting linked to other clubs.

It's Will Connors turn this year.

He's a bloody good coach as well

Telegraph just tweeted that Gatland is a done deal to Wales.

I didn't watch the match, so pinch of salt required, but I've said before that I wonder what McFarland says to the lads at half time, because we fall apart or get noticeably worse so often in the second half of games. Is he changing the tactics or telling the lads to try hold what we've got? Whateve...

I think Andy Warwick was sent off for Ulster against Leinster for doing the same thing Lowe did.

But, it makes no difference to me really, I hope the Ulster players are absolutely mortified.

If Harry Byrne was a horse he’d have been put down by now.

His time is surely up at this point.

Moore and Deegan did their outside chances of a world cup spot no harm, other than that I don't think anyone in the pack comes out in credit (maybe Loughman tbf) Moore scored a nice try but did you see him for their last try? Mike Ross, at his current age and fitness level, would have moved faster....

Just back. First opinion, NELM especially in the pack who were soft as shite. The likes of Timoney and Loughman, who never even got into the Leinster Academy shouldn't be played at this level, and indeed the same holds true for Prendergast. I'd wager the Leinster team who played against the Scarlet...

Fantastic Leinster try.

WHAT IS MURRAY DOING?!

When you can see your scrum in reverse take the ball out you fcuking dope.

crouchy

Murray is so f**king slow it's unbelievable

Imagine a scrum half scoring that try. Boshed over past 3 opposition tacklers including a prop.

Why go back inside there?!?

I used to attend this fixture every year as a neutral.

9/10 games the atmosphere is garbage. Loads of people who haven’t a notion, but probably not helped by the results being very one sided.

crouchy

This feels like Leinster are doing an attack vs defence training drill at 50% effort.

Saw it was postponed elsewhere. No idea how true that is.
Rumours that there is a stomach bug in camp and can't field a team.

Rumours that Glasgow game is off too.

They are in Johannesburg this week.

Hangs around here, I see him about once a fortnight.

Zebo has enjoyed his summer anyway. Looks like a forward that has got lost out on the wing. He looks the same as he did last year. Stop exaggerating ffs. Looks fatter and slower to me. Dragons winger showed great stamina at the end, running the whole way around Zebo without running out of puff.

His shape is a disgrace. Like a forward lost out on the wing.

Scarlets right to be annoyed at that to be honest. The on field no try call was nonsensical. They might be annoyed at the ref making a bollocks out of it but it was a try. Billy's kick to the corner was a bigger issue. Definite try but ref made a big mess of it. Players and fans don’t have the bene...

Is there anyone still playing who was around when Spence playing? Either Ulster, or Ireland U20s. Luke Marshall at a guess. Hendy and Gilroy probably. Big Stu too young? I'm sure Henderson played with him, but not sure if they played Ulster seniors together. Henderson's breakthrough season was the ...

Yes, they should split Leinster into two.

Dublin and Everyone Else.

Or maybe Michaels and Everyone else.

@crouchy Again, the matches are irrelevant. Just something to focus on but they're no more than training matches to execute what they're learning without having to worry too much about the opposition (although I think they'll still get a game). You can't have understood my point if you suggest Cart...

This is horse and cart stuff. The IRFU fund rugby development in the provinces and pay players for the development of the international team. Secondly, you can foretell the whinging of the keyboard critics, after the autumn series. "How can you tell if he fits into the international squad, if he di...

When will the URC be worth watching, after Christmas? Depends why you watch it I guess. I love seeing Leinster roll out the kids early in the season. Love seeing the new up and coming lads and seeing if any have the spark that make you think they might be special. One (two) of my favourite games la...
