    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    No but you would imagine if he was on border or unlikely to be involved next week then Frawley would be in mix tomorrow. Like tomorrow a really vital game too. Agreed not alot given away and I think Jimmy O'Brien rushed back as pace is needed to balance that back 3 and he has that.

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    Yeah but wouldn't he be in squad tomorrow if that the case. Like I Osbourne and Robbie have no real cover. Or am I missing it like if Jimmy started I get they all movable but also they all starters. Like say Henshaw or Osbourne went down after 5 mins in final. What way do you play it? Like you...

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    Some win for us. A strange game. We were lucky to get pen that helped us get our BP but then TMO gave Edinburgh a try that noone could see. We deserved it though and we'll to get 5 points here was super. Again you know you are booming when Scottish teams boo everything and anything. If they...

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    100% on that as I said earlier Whatever Leinster do this week, win next week and they are genius, lose and should have done the alternative. On our front bigTom and Jack came through today good.

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    I don't disagree more would give them a chance on fact they are desperate and this is the typical game they do perform. And more Leinster can spin it anyway in the media but subconsciously they will be clued on next week so may take eye off the ball. Now if they put out a 2nd team who know they...

    2023-2024 transfers

    Will be a superb signing if he stays clear of his injuries. Still only 31 like he isn't on last legs just yet. Ewers has been rumoured to be going to Currie Cup but no specific team mentioned

    Transfers rumours

    Let rumours begin. And Okeke is a decent player but never kicked on from that game vs Wasps and also had other issues that didn't help when the look came through. Backrow in every province is competitive area and well where we are all producing crazy depth.

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    We have rotation in plans. But will be keeping it fairly strong. We need to win. Coombes has benefited from that explosiveness off the bench while sparing him as he has a ton of mileage on the clock from the winter months. On Leinster it kind of a catch 22. Go strong this week and lose next...

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    That is it like it isn't a normal week. Stormers coming to Galway and to a focussed Connacht and I back Connacht to sneak it but weather a bit warmer and Connacht not fully there. Stormers could turn up any way too. Leinster this week it hard to tell like even if they played likes of Ryan...

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    We won't ease past Edinburgh. We have an iffy record of Friday nights there. Would happily take a 3-0 win now. I don't think 4 points is bad. Glasgow I think could win but the Lions are very tricky it a game any income I can see. Ulster vs Leinster. - A lot of moving variables. Leinster won't...

    URC 2023/24 - Round 17

    Alot of pivots. As mentioned in Rd 16. Ulster are fully targetting this one. At home vs a mixed Leinster team. They always give a performance against Leinster. Richie Murphy first game as permanent coach. Edinburgh vs Munster is a game where we need the win and I think Edinburgh will although...

    URC 2023/24 - Round 16

    Losing the 3 lads would hurt any team in the roles they have. We have only had a fully fit squad for last few weeks but that will benefit us for the run in as we are fresh. Big game Friday now. Win and it will be a huge step towards avoiding South Africa. Ulster are targeting the Leinster game...

    Transfers rumours

    Salanoa has very long roads if he gets back at all. But yeah the 2 Connacht lads are depth more than anything

    Transfers rumours

    Tom Farrell is signed and Tom Daly is coming too on a cover contract which will extend. Admittedly both were cheap as both were released by Connacht. Farrell was said to be retiring.

    Transfers rumours

    Yeah but think Jake alone isn't enough and the Doak project is done.

    Transfers rumours

    No big ones. Alot of bargain hunting going on and provinces won't be signing big NIQs this late. Ulster are the ones most desperately searching for a 10 it seems.

    The Leinster thread

    I know hopefully you see it some time 🫠 Also should of added there are bigger contracts abroad yes if a) teams have the interest to pay and b) player and club agree on role. It not for everyone and equally some aren't thought of as the same abroad to command a big wage

    The Leinster thread

    But I didn't call him mentally weak. Don't know lad. More said only time will tell and each to their own. Also I never said anything about playing 80mins. I said he isn't currently at front of selection thoughts for backrow. Plenty of evidence to back that up 🤣 you seem bothered by it. Again I...

    The Leinster thread

    Again so about 11 to 12 games average. Excluding injury or academy year and still no real big games. Out by 1 game or so. Happy On Munster game at Chriatmas. If you want to believe that was a fully stocked team or whatever. I won't even argue. I think selection for big games will settle that...

    The Leinster thread

    100% agree on Clarkson and I suppose he is the example of it all. Overall 9 has been a desperate position for Leinster to develop and that isn't a dig as every province I can point out positions of weakness and strength. It will I suppose be an area to target. Munsters is frontrow for sure.
