It looks like the nice training jersey isn't going on release - as the only one up on lifestyle is a horrendous day-glo yellow yoke

Actually, it reminds me a lot of what Asics are doing at the moment. Both my favourite non Ireland/Leinster teams, SA and SF, wear Asics so I've a few bits of their kit and it really is good stuff, remarkably well cut and is very forgiving to the gentleman with a more relaxed midriff

Our training jerseys oddly seem to generally be decent see 2008/2009, 2010/2011, and the last couple of seasons. Generally better than our normal on pitch kit

The wife managed to get her hands on one of these for me a few years back even though they didn't go on general sale. Lovely jersey, but it's the pro version so I've to go into serious training before I could consider wearing it again.....

Anyone have Jamie on Snapchat?

I suspect an inadvertent leak of the new Euro jersey!
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

If it's the jersey in the video of Tadhg Furlong then it looks quite nice.

Though hard to make out in the blurry screenshot I took.

That's the one I was referring to yeah.

My thoughts exactly, very like last years academy training jersey just with a few less yellow lines. I like it

Heaslip "leaked" the current home kit early last year too.

I'm now pretty convinced they're happy enough with him doing so.

I am of the opinion they just can't do anything about it ha. They're hardly going to drop him for something like this

A fair point.

That jersey looks like it may be a thing of beauty.

For me the colours of the jersey and the shorts are too similar, if not identical. I prefer, when we go two-tone i.e. two shades of blue with the shorts being the darker one.

Away kit being launched tomorrow.

Wouldn't be surprised if they where it at against Bath.

Also expecting to think it looks quite good on the professional athletes.

Truly awful, although highly visible. Definitely worth at least 2 pens in away European games as Leinster legs spotted offside with Referee's peripheral vision, under poor (French) floodlights!

It won't be our European jersey though. There is another one due shortly.

Apparently that luminous number is flying out of the shops. Didn't hear any numbers but supposedly it's the highest selling bit of clothing that we have.
