He had a very good game.

His kicking probably more accurate than Lowes, has to go to SA. Ross very good as was Larmour great pass under for 2nd last try.

Frawley will probably go off injured as well, knowing him.

Bollocks our backline now very 1 paced would nearly prefer Larmour 15 with Russell on wing

I, along with everyone not from Leinster, hope LaRochelle knock the stuffing out of you.
That ain’t good for Ireland brainiac
So now Leinster are to thank for Ireland winning so much?

Well it certainly ain't Ulster

Luckycharmer

RIngrose? Yeah, but Leinster have good cover there and in the context of how these games have gone Ryan a much bigger loss. I'm not quite but almost glad he hasn't made it back in time. It's not the kind of game you would want to be going into with no gametime under your belt. Having said that not ...

Interesting. Good stuff that they're rating him. If he gets a run of games now, he might make the SA tour.

Yep if he can hold his own in the scrum then he is better than current Healy in every other Metric.

Love watching lads rail against the passing of time, refusing to go quietly into that good night. Usually backs, trying to make up for not having done any work when they were young enough for it to matter, now desperately trying to make up for it. Forwards. Have. More. Sense. There's an implicit op...

Ross starts, no Harry. 6/2 split Connors starts as does Jenkins. Milne on bench. Wondered if they'd go 6-2 with Connors starting. Presumably has the express instructions to just hit everything he can for 40-50 minutes. Touch on Conan. He'd better bring it off the bench to offset the biff lost when ...

Heard a pretty amazing stat, Toulouse have never lost in normal time a knockout game to another French team in Europe. I think they have had 1 draw.

Bookies have Leinster to win. Leinster have a million Irish internationals. I'd be surprised if they didn't win. I'd be disappointed for the players if they didn't win.

I don't understand the Bulls' decision. They are well placed in the URC for a home semi. But they have basically thrown the towel in for the Champions Cup, the same competition the $harks are fighting tooth and nail to get back into?

Decent career but what could he have done without the injuries

Real Shame he looked like a world beat in that opening game of new LR, one of the best underage performances I have seen. Shame he never really kicked on.

Luckycharmer

He even said it himself he had a bit of a mare on his debut - you don't get many chances as an academy player “I came on around the 74th minute and the first thing I did was make a blunder of a mistake. I had Jamie Hagan inside me, who was obviously out on his feet at this stage. I shot out of the ...

Luckycharmer

Of course he did How? Beirne was injured for years and the brief stint he was fit for Cullen didn't have access to most his players for most of that period to 'compare him'. You're still ignoring that Beirne was injured for most of his time at Leinster. I'm going to have to ask you the same questio...

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our def...

Luckycharmer

He was forwards coach in 2014. Head coach in 2015. Beirne was released in 2016. Obviously he was a player before that as well (same position). Beirne wasn't a nobody. He played 9 times for the u20s for our best underage side ever arguably, in 2012. Leinster, Leinster A, countless training sessions ...

Luckycharmer

How did he know it better than anybody? He'd only just been made head coach, Beirne only made it back from years of being out injured that season and he's been asked does he want to give a contract to this guy that didn't fit into his plans, had no real body of work and had a poor injury profile. O...

Just finished watching the U18s. Very good performance particularly the second half. Maybe they could have done with an extra warm up match. Highlight was the 9's (O'Dwyer) cross field kick.

It is a stretch , it's why I said maybe. Also it's a neck injury right, so who knows how risky it would be. A final is a bit higher stakes but I take your point on it being a knock out.
