Interesting that you're moaning about the possibility of a guy who has shown himself to be one of the top wingers in Europe over the last number of years (Zebo), and not a guy who has shown himself significantly out of his depth (Lowe)

Jumper

Aki and Henshaw is a solid option, I don't hate it, but your back three will see very little of the ball. Arguably it would be a step backwards depending on how Catt et all want to play. Preferably you'd have a Hume or a Ringrose back in form (and he certainly played his best game for Leinster in a...

Jumper

Jokes aside Zebo has to be in the reckoning, hopefully with Balacoune on the other wing and Keenan at fullback. That's a passable back 3. Earls to cover, maybe Stockdale if he finds some fitness. I'm a big fan of TOB, would love to see him and Byrne, really pushing for Leinster spots this year. 180...

Ref very handy to Munster with the card and try.

The NHS digitial cert also works in Ireland.

Ryan is supposed to be Ireland's baby-eating TH lock.

Munster decapitated that team with a second-choice and light weight pack away from home. Leinster should be looking for 50+ without getting out of first gear.

The Porter to LH switch makes huge sense for Leinster and Ireland. It makes less sense for Porter as he's tying his success to what Furlong wants to do with his next contract and significantly reducing his earning potential. he will be getting a central contract after this season replacing healy. A...

Do you think he'll make the announcement?
Was thinking he'll hint at it alright

It has a feeling of inevitability, unfortunately.

That's awfully young to be playing senior cup rugby...

Axel's nephew (Rosie's son) was also playing.

Healy was great again for me. Always been a big fan of him, not sure why some people don't rate him. Obviously good with the boot but his passing is really crisp too. Underrated in terms of a creative player. Seems to have a good temperament and is really robust as well. The backrow was excellent a...

Made an absolute mug of the Treviso 15

Jumper

That had to be yellow.

Pity that Doak couldn't be more accurate with the longer pass.

Jumper

Herring denied a great start to the 200th cap. Couldnt stand due to the offside and knockon.

Fans booing as usual.

Yup. And the reason why Munster were put in those slots because they have the following.

Jumper

Munster topping the URC viewing figures over the first two rounds with both of their games being the top two watched games so far.

Connacht look to be well supported also. No sign of Leinster or Ulster in the Top 5 most viewed games so far which is a poor sign.

Jumper

There was some talk a few pages back about Doak being the best prospect at SH since Patterson, which got a few knickers in a twist re Murray. Just rewatched the Chicago match. There were a lot of standouts, Besty and Toner and a few others but honestly it was one of the best SH performances I've ev...

We should probably give Conan a chance to lose his place first.... Conan has never had an Irish jersey to lose... You clearly get an erection every time Coombes' name is mentioned. What does that have to do with what I said? Jack Conan has 20 caps, and never been more than a bit-part/fringe member ...

Conan has the jersey, again, I see no reason not to put Coombes at 6. Because he's the best option off the back of the...

Two dumb teams in the last 5 s.

Ryan lucky. Hands clearly on the floor.

That's a decision you don't expect to get away from home.

They’ve literally been offside all game and he picks that one to ping Crowd have got to the ref. All 15 of them. :lol: :lol: :lol: How sad a comment is that - you do know there are pandemic restrictions? There were in Thomond yesterday, remember? What are the restrictions in Wales at the moment?

Jumper

Leinster have been so poor. I still wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a BP win out of the bag though.

If we could monetise the insane overrating of potential by our northern brethren there'd be enough money to solve all world problems. Doak looks excellent and I reckon he'll be a top tier pro player but he's played what, 3/4 games of pro Rugby? Annointing him as the second coming and shitting all o...

I like Conan, I really do, but at the moment I believe Coombes is the form 8 in the British Isles and it's not just his try scorinhg, it's his soft hands, his decision making, his pace, his turnover work, his cousin fondling and the fact he has a bit of dog in him. Appreciate there'll be naysayers ...

Looks like my call that the signing of Alaalatoa meant that Porter is switching to LH was bang on.

Jumper

I'm pretty familiar with the sector and I've never heard of a single person (let alone the place being full of them) who had that role Really? I've some experience in lecturing and would have to disagree. Care to share where and which field (law?) Perhaps a weblink to the persons profile? I find it...

He's trained there a bit as Leinster are light. It would be a massive surprise if he ended up playing there.

Sounds fairly standard for Dublin in fairness.

I'm still very firmly in the camp that Porter should stay at TH. He's world class there. Sure he's got Furlong ahead of him, and there's a dearth of LHPs in the 24-30 bracket, but I hate trying to convert players to accommodate shortcomings elsewhere. Even though Porter originally started at LH. Al...

The Leinster academy is giant when compared to the other provinces.

Lowe should never have been put in position by the Irish coaching staff in fairness to him.

Shit tour due to covid.
Terrible style of rugby.
Very very few high quality players.
