Will be interesting to see if Loughman will be playing. I assume he will
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

Re: Leinster A 17-18
Is this match sold out? I just tried to buy on Ticketmaster and it said tickets weren't available. This was a surprise.

Just saw on twitter that you can't get them online because they couldn't guarantee that they'd be delivered before tomorrow.

Re: Leinster A 17-18
As it's a Quarter Final I am guessing our season tickets won't cover this match.
Anyone know for sure?

Re: Leinster A 17-18
Very poor and slow game. We barely touched the ball in the first 7/8 minutes and Munster slowed it down as much as possible, Loughman walking the whole way across the pitch to go off injured and preventing a lineout being taken on the near touchline was a particular highlight. Thought the ref was a bit fussy and could have let things go.
Thought the Byrne twins were great in open play, ran great lines and looked dynamic. A couple of dodgy lineouts but one seemed like a miscommunication and another didn't look crooked to me. The balance in the back row wasn't great although individually they were physical and worked hard.
The outside backs barely got the ball but TOB was really good whenever he was involved. His try scoring pass was outstanding and I doubt I was the only one who never saw it coming. He probably could have got in for the try himself but popped it inside to Kelly which took out the defenders who were corner flagging. Didn't think Kelly or Daly were great, didn't get involved too much and looked hesitant and out of position at times. I really didn't notice Mullin at all apart from his break for the try. One more positive was COB, thought he was really good. He carried very strongly and was eager to make things happen.
Bill Johnston is such a classy player. He organises things really well and his execution is always good, have high hopes for him if he can keep fit.

Re: Leinster A 17-18
Both of them did alright, not outstanding.Dave Cahill wrote:How were Frawley and Rock?
Conor O'Brien was the pick of the backs ... by a mile. He strikes the ball so well as a left-foot kicker that clearance kicks are a joy to watch. He also strolled over the gainline any time he wanted at No12. Really, really talented.
Ed Byrne and Peadar Timmins very good in the pack, Bryan Byrne too. They all worked hard on a filthy wet day. Lots of good defense, especially in the second half. Very difficult conditions to play attacking rugby with ball in hand, thus lots of kicking.
Re: Leinster A 17-18
Would agree with much of that. It was a day when players generally did better without the ball. Leinster probably created a little more but not by a lot. Both Munster centres acted as a handbrake on any attacking intentions and it wasn't until late on that the Munster backline offered any threat outside of cross-kicks. Conditions were poor and defences on top but the lack of ambition with the ball from both sides was a little dispiriting. However the move for the decisive try was the one shining beacon on a grey old day. Lovely line from Mullin and he did well to find Tommy O'Brien with a bouncing bomb of a pass. Don't think O'Brien was going to get into the corner but he showed good awareness to draw the cover and feed Kelly on his inside.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:Very poor and slow game.

The pack did well to eventually subdue the Munster maul which looked to be a very effective weapon early in the game but the pack figured a way to counter it while the overall shoddiness of Munster's handling and passing when they got into decent positions did the rest.
I'd say Leinster A will need to offer a good deal more to get to the final.
