Leinster European Squad 2017/2018

[Xanthippe]

Tom Daly, Heaslip, Nagle and Timmins are the senior squad players currently on our books not included. Larmour only academy player in the 41 named.

And Michael Bent

Bent is named, you gave me a fright

No he's really not - see below for screenshot from EPCR website. We only named 40 of possible 41 players so we could (hopefully) be waiting on Heaslip's fitness before naming last player

There's no way we have 4 LHs (Byrne, Dooley, Healy & McGrath) and only 2 THs (Furling & Porter) in the squad though. There has to be an error in that list.

I agree but that’s the list as per the EPCR website

Justice for Benty!

Justice for Benty!

That emoticon is pretty obscene from certain angles.

[mildlyinterested]

Bent was on site earlier when I put up my list.

[Dave Cahill]

Squad gone from the EPCR site

[Ruckedtobits]

Not another screw-up taking place overseas!

[curates_egg]

Squad gone from the EPCR site

I actually checked because I thought it was so ridiculous that it couldn't be true.
But, no, somebody at Leinster or EPCR thought this was the best way for them to get on top of the news of Bent's absence from the squad

[simonokeeffe]

Sorry Xan I was going off the list published on other sites

Must be whatever temp they hired in Nuchatel

[Xanthippe]

Squad gone from the EPCR site

All the other Pro14 squads are gone too - yesterday they had us, Munster, Ulster, Glasgow, Ospreys and Scarlets up. Thought that was a bit odd because there were no squads for any of the French or English teams and yet they had their English launch event yesterday.

The main angle being from inside your brain.

Get a rorschach test quick.

Montpellier currently whupping Brive.
Exeter lost to Tigers yesterday and Glas beat Treviso.

[blockhead]

Leinster wont play at home again until the 24 of November, thats over 5 weeks from now, or 6 weeks since our last home game. Bloody hell.

only one more game in the RDS this year - withdrawal symptoms.

[wixfjord]

Ringrose out until end of November according to Leo. Hopefully we'll see him play against Treviso away and then be ready for the Exeter back to backs.
Lowe likewise.

[mildlyinterested]

Josh van der Flier has been ruled out of the November international series ahead of the announcement of Ireland’s squad tomorrow.

In addition, he is borderline to make it for Leinster’s back-to-back fixtures with Exeter Chiefs in The Champions Cup in December.

The in-form flanker has been struck down with syndesmosis and is scheduled for an operation sometime today.

Squad finally back up: http://www.epcrugby.com/matchcentre/lei ... ?section=3
No Heaslip.
Thankfully, Bent is there...otherwise we would have been turfed out for fielding a non-registered player.

[curates_egg]

Fractured arm for the Ireland outhalf.
There's our fullback out until after Christmas.
Bob better stay fit and on form.
