Really? You didn't find it slow and jerky?

I have also found that munster's website is one of the few that give you a full league table.

I tried irish rugby. The pro 12 site. The Irish Times. Leinster's was the least informative.
Yeah

I think the presentation of the new website is really sharp, and I think it's fantastic that you've got the old pen-pics of [very] former players up. I have a couple of suggestions/requests for part of the site [squad profiles] based on using the site pretty frequently.

I think the PLAYED/PLD column [for example: http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/academy-pla ... d=RO410082 ] is a bit redundant. Personally speaking, I think it'd be more useful to have the player's jersey number for the match in question, i.e. in the case of this player you'd know if he started at outside centre, winger or on the bench. Secondly, I think the 'Minutes Played' column from the old profiles was useful - maybe that could go back in?

Opened up the Leinster site last week and lost my wireless internet within seconds. Had to hook the computer up to the modem with an ethernet cable to reinstall the drivers. Opened up the website again today and the same thing started happening so closed all the pages I had open. Needless to say, Leinsterrugby.ie is dead to me now. Pity.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Would somebody from Leinster Rugby Please start listening to the Users of the Website ( or Lack of Users as it is now) ... I agree with all of the previous posters... quite simply it is dreadful, i avoid using it completely now, a complete disaster... If I was a potential Advertiser , I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole..

I see your very good point on the cr@p PLD column hasn't been fixed. Did he play? Check.

Looking at the site on my PC, it says Rory O'Loughlin has 40 points this season, but no tries - http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/academy-pla ... d=RO410082

Is this the same for everyone else?

When I click on SEASON for O'Loughlin, I get the tick for played but minutes and tries are totally empty but it says 880 at the bottom. Really sh!t website.

What browser are you using? Had none of these issues. Using firefox btw.

And I'm not dismissing your problems, it reflects really badly on it if the site isn't cross browser compatible with basic pc browsers.

Also, theres a circular navigation loop between it and the seasons tickets subsite when you go looking for the prices of season tickets. That is the proof that either Satan or a complete f%~king sadist b$&%@#d got their hands on it. People who create circular navigation loops should be taken out and given the wetsuit and bucket of soapy frogs treatment.

The Leinster Rugby website is a disaster. It freezes my Firefox any time I try to look up anything on it.
