What are you most looking forward to seeing this season?

[simonokeeffe]

Henshaw & Ringrose combo prrrrrrrrrrrrrr

no axe grinding please

[LeRouxIsPHat]

The fight for back up loosehead.
James Tracy
Mick Kearney, Molony, and James Ryan fighting for selection.
Conan making a big impact after what was pretty much a write off of a season.
Luke McGrath kicking on and getting capped and the competition he'll have with Gibson-Parke.
Carberry and/or Ross Byrne emerging (although back up ten does worry me).
Steve Crosbie being resigned to cover injuries and then becoming first choice and being capped/touring with the Lions.
Adam Byrne and /or Dardis emerging.
Rob Kearney being fit and back to his best.

The performances against Bath at home and the Ospreys away becoming the norm.

[Dave Cahill]

Leinster beating a good team.

Intriguing, Curate's. Do you know something the rest of us don't?

Japans new back coach Im sure will lead to much excitement

[leinsterforever]

Hopefully, some try-scoring rugby being played.

The scrum being used to give the backs good ball, instead of using it to try to milk penalties like some loser English team

Ed Byrne and Tom Daly getting gametime

Some backline moves off attacking lineouts in/near opposition 22 rather than trying to maul it all the time.

Looking forward to at least 1 game next season with thw following starting XV, hopefully playing with some Gryam Hinry influence:

McGrath
Cronin
Furlong
Kearney
Toner
Ruddock
JVDF
Heaslip

Oxymoron
Sexton
Fitz
Reid
Henshaw
Ringrose
Nacewa

Oxymoron?

slight tangent but wonder will age profile of our right wingers and Aki push Ringrose on to wing for Ireland in a years time?

I was thinking that too, wouldn't be surprised if he makes his debut on the wing. If we have Zebo on the wing then Ringrose would be a pretty good option at 23. Probably not against NZ but perhaps one of the other games in the autumn.

at worst its handy for a RWC squad, did JDV no harm

tangent to a tangent but how Ulster's backs line up will be interesting too (and feed into this)
Payne Pitau Marshall McCloskey Trimble 15-11
Olding Bowe 22 & 23
Leaves Gilroy, Cave, Ludik all kicking their heels

[jezzer]

Oxymoron?

Posh Kiwi.

No I'm just blindly hoping we will be signing some decent coach.

You're in good company, so!

[cormac]

Leinster putting in a decent performance away from home

[Peg Leg]

Looking inventive and making yards after 3 phases.
Outhalf standing in the same timezone as the scrum half.

[simonokeeffe]

For wishes, Sale in the European Cup, Juandre Kruger pulled out of his move there and theyve gotten Lou Reed, not the good one, instead

[COYBIB]

The emergence of Adam Byrne as our greatest ever winger. More "hoping" than "looking forward to" though.

[maps]

I know they're not much of a team anymore, but looking forward to getting the home game v Munster back to the RDS
The games in the Aviva just aren't the same
