Pre-season friendlies

[mildlyinterested]

Given irish players are in camp, i'd expect another "weakened" side for the last friendly.

Surely Irish Camp is a two-day max event. Now is primetime Provincial prep for Pro14 competition.

well they are still there today.

Dont know if its been mentioned already but Reid had his wrist in a bandage at the game in St.Mary's. It doesnt look to serious.

It's Wednesday. Still waiting for decent highlights of the Gloucester match.....

Finally - all the tries from LEI vs GLO (in one minute with cr@p sound - so don't blink and turn down the volume!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGsylW4FtK4

Rob Kearney throws a dummy and then passes for second try

Think he wants his Ireland jersey back

[mildlyinterested]

unfortunately the "highlights" don't show larmour's skill for his second try.

[Dave Cahill]

Very unprofessional

[Cathalsmart]

Certainly hope that aint the quality of video they are using to review their performance...

No so sure Joe would be happy with that bit of creativity.

Nor the pace of the Gloucester wing for their second try - jaysus he was fast.

[the spoofer]

It wasn't worth their while.

leinster's PR team? Yeah they really don't bother most of the time.

Hey not like he threw a speculative offload

[mildlyinterested]

Leinster's backrow has a 21, 20 and 19 year old starting, while Bath are starting Toby Faletau...

How the heck is Faletau starting a game so soon? Thought he was supposed to get some rest?

[Cathalsmart]

I find it a little odd that Kelleher starts ahead of McNulty despite the fact McNulty has been the sub hooker the past 2 weeks, is that an ominous sign for McNulty or is it just a game the throw people out there and see how they hang.

Very bold selection (nothing's on the line but a hammering could reck the young lad's confidence) but some interesting points

Looks like J.O'Brien, Deegan, Larmour are very highly thought of and will likely feature a lot this season, last 2 unsurprisingly but Jimmy is thought it would be the other O'Brien (Conor of course). Hopefully Conor goes well, could very well have a big say in the pro14 (maybe not champions cup but pro14 for sure). Is Jack Kelly injured, I'm amazed he hasn't got a run out otherwise.
