Drive for five bby! Probably could do with an injury return or two to get through the next two weeks.

Scarlets

How dare you.


To be fair we're always terrible in Europe.
Finding a little bit of form (though discipline still shocking) in the prem, though - and Tom Curry should be available for the game, so that raises our chances a bit

The fact Sale have a realistic path to the semis is hilarious to me.

Jealous of the teams on your side of bracket, maybe

See you in the final, coward

@Leinster Fan stay quiet, keep your head down and hope they don't engage. Only way to deal with Sale.

James Ryan out, Sexton and Ross Byrne both doubts.

Cullen issues Leinster Rugby injury update ahead of Toulon

Leinster Rugby Head Coach Leo Cullen has issued an injury update ahead of Friday's Heineken Champions Cup game against Toulon.

www.leinsterrugby.ie

Team should be something like: Healy, Kelleher, Furlong/Porter, Baird, Toner/Fardy, Ruddock, Van der Flier, Conan, McGrath, Whichever 10 is fit, Dave, Henshaw, O'Loughlin, Lowe/Larmour, Keenan with Tracy, Byrne/Dooley, some other fowards, JGP, another outhalf and another back on the bench.

Baird should start after last week, can't see too many other changes. Maybe Lowe in for Larmour. I'd be up for Frawley starting at 12 but with the uncertainty at 10 I can see it being left alone.

Leinster's game against Toulon has been cancelled due to positive Covid case https://the42.ie/5399455

No announcement yet what happens yet but the rules suggest it should be a Toulon forfeit.

On one hand a rest week during a crowded season is good for us.

On the other I really wanted to watch this match and for us to beat Toulon in a knock out game.
