pourquoi tu l'as ecrit en francais?

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Parce que j'adore la langue française, c'est tellement beau et élégant par rapport à l'anglais.

Snoop what ever happened to Ruddock. A few months ago he was capped for Ireland and now I think I've only seen him on the pitch once if that.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Rhys Ruddock played most of the game against Treviso and came on late against Munster. He's a victim of the ridiculous policy of resting international players at the start of the season. As a result of his enforced period on the sideline, the new head coach got a chance to work with Dominic Ryan and liked what he saw so Ryan is ahead of Ruddock in the pecking order. I think Ruddock will be on the bench against Edinburgh.

Mon the Gunners!

[SpanishBob]

Can anyone explain me why this fixture now?. Edinburgh and Leinster played against each other a few weeks ago, if I'm not wrong.

 

[coonor]

great to see Conway playing he is a really exciting up and coming talent. cullen coming back into the captain role which is great to see. A good match here sould see him get a spot in the AI squad.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Yeah Conway has an exciting future ahead of him.

The only Leinster selection I'm mildly perplexed by is Paul O'Donohoe ahead of Isaac Boss. Perhaps O'Donohoe and Madigan have played together a few times before and their chemistry is what made up Joe Schmidt's mind.
