The bookies have Leinster as 5 point favourites but the papers are predicting a Munster win. I would say this has been the case in many of the recent matches between these two. That's generally based off Leinster going less than full strenght and then the younger players stepping up more than was e...

Was a very enjoyable game.

And yeah Leinster kids overturning Munster would be a big result for them.

Connacht might as well give up.

Yep. Reffing is a bloody hard job but when you can use the TMO, decide not to, and make a decision that potentially fucks up the outcome of a game then that really isn't good enough.

Exeter destroyed Wasps last week and on the way to doing the same to Bristol here. Bit of perspective for Leinster beating them.

danthefan

Connacht looking too dangerous there, better penalise them.

IBWT wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 8:45 pm Really poor decision by Brace there on Blade.

Classic scenes, he hates the team with the ball.

Sam Simmonds is so impressive. Bit of footwork and he's 50m downfield.

Byrne and Niyi starting for Bristol.

The canal by the Bernard Shaw absolutely packed this evening with people out eating and drinking. It's completely crazy that outdoor dining is still banned.

Thought they'd done away with relegation for a few seasons?

Anyway it's money obviously.

It is the right call for this game but scrum half would be a huge worry. Can't risk McGrath getting injured though.

Just you speculating or something more?

Leinster have brought through 5 THs I think currently on pro contracts and there is one at every province (Furlong, Porter, Moore, Aungier, Salanoa).

So, Leinster v Munster again.

We've booked flights home in July as we are vaccinated. I am sure the regulations/legislation will change by then but rolled the dice.

Why is no one talking about Baird? Guys a fookin savage, long Ireland career ahead of him. Hopefully Fardy passed on buckets of nous and is now making room for him. As great a servant as Fardy was, it irritated me to see him in ahead of Baird v. Exeter. Thank you, again, Leinster academy. Ah plenty...

I know it's an occupational hazard but it's quite sad really, at his peak and firmly first choice for Leinster and Ireland and career is destroyed.

Listening to ROG on OTB, I think he's getting more Cark the longer he stays away.

I'd say Porter is 50/50. Furlong and Sinckler probably locked in. If they go with the idea of Porter packing down at LH for the warmup games he might have a better shot.

Wouldn't be surprised if Francis went at all. Huge man, bulk will be at a premium, plays for Wales.

Genge, you'd wonder how much stock they'd put in being a good tourist, and he quite frankly seems like a bit of a knob.
