Isa didn't train yesterday by the look of the photos.

Re: Leinster v Cardiff Sat 3PM TG4/Sky Sports
Going on the photo bibs theory, we seem to be looking at starts for Dooley, Strauss, Triggs, Moloney, VDF, Ruddock, JGP, Byrne, Byrne; expanding on the basis of same theory, Cronin and Ross are benching (which by default means Bent is starting).the spoofer wrote:Isa didn't train yesterday by the look of the photos.
Looks like the experiment of Carbery not at 10 will continue, with a pack of Dooley, Strauss, Bent, Moloney, Triggs, Ruddock, VDF, Conan.

Re: Leinster v Cardiff Sat 3PM TG4/Sky Sports
The Examiner giving detail of the press conference yesterday by Foggs are reporting that:
Rob Kearney is a doubt for Wasps and will see a specialist this week to assess the extent of his injury.
Jamie Heaslip faces a medical assessment for a lower back issue and may need some time out.
“Those two boys and a few others will be stepping back and taking a break for a few minutes, because they know that there are big days ahead of us here in Leinster,” Fogarty said. It was not all doom and gloom with Josh van der Flier returning to training, albeit in a protective ‘suit’, while Sean Cronin took full part in a scrummaging session last Friday. Isa Nacewa trained last week and will be assessed ahead of the Cardiff game.

Think it's time Leavy was viewed as first-choice openside ahead of all other options

Think it's time the coaches who work with the players on a daily basis made the call that best suits the needs of the team.leinsterforever wrote:Think it's time Leavy was viewed as first-choice openside ahead of all other options

Re: Leinster v Cardiff Sat 3PM TG4/Sky Sports
If VDF is still coming back from injury (can't imagine he'll really play this weekend if he was in a protective suit) then my back row for Wasps would be Ruddock, Leavy and Conan, with SOB benching.leinsterforever wrote:Think it's time Leavy was viewed as first-choice openside ahead of all other options
Re: Leinster v Cardiff Sat 3PM TG4/Sky Sports
Yeah, but realistically SOB will start and Ruddock will be on the bench. Based on the training reports for the Cardiff game, hard to see us not getting a bonus point. Dooley has stepped up massively in the scrum and in the loose.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:If VDF is still coming back from injury (can't imagine he'll really play this weekend if he was in a protective suit) then my back row for Wasps would be Ruddock, Leavy and Conan, with SOB benching.leinsterforever wrote:Think it's time Leavy was viewed as first-choice openside ahead of all other options

Re: Leinster v Cardiff Sat 3PM TG4/Sky Sports
He really has. Has nearly as many minutes as last season in about half the games. Think he needs to get game time against better sides to develop further though and he's got the same problem as JOC before him there.neiliog93 wrote:Yeah, but realistically SOB will start and Ruddock will be on the bench.

Certainly wouldn't have any problem with that unit, all highly competent and hungry to show their excellence.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:If VDF is still coming back from injury (can't imagine he'll really play this weekend if he was in a protective suit) then my back row for Wasps would be Ruddock, Leavy and Conan, with SOB benching.leinsterforever wrote:Think it's time Leavy was viewed as first-choice openside ahead of all other options

There's a pretty big game of soccer on around the corner from the RDS on Friday. Probably best it is on Saturday.desperado wrote:weird.... my definitely says 24th March. In a way I wish it was Friday evening..
Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?
