What the last two posters have said!

Enough of the cr@p about who went to what school and who has what accent. It's tiresome.

Not heard anything. What's in the grapevine?

Given the emergence of Kelleher and that Cronin and Tracy are still on the scene could he be angling for a move?

This is supposed to be a forum for discussing Leinster Rugby and related topics. I would suggest that what f*cking school you went to is not a related topic.
Thank you.

No but Munster have more hookers than us so they need to sign one. Presume Ulster are in the IQ market too.

Bryan Byrne not making the European squad is a bit of a shocker anyway considering Kelleher’s inexperience. Certainly seems like something must be afoot.

An even bigger tin foil hat theory. Only 1 Byrne Twin seems to be included in the 140 year old murial that Leinster put on Instagram this morning

Ahhh, he’s only in playing a character...

As for McKenna and MFans, McKenna can go fvck himself and there enough nutters on MFans shure they think we’re all called Hugo and shite solid gold.

McKenna is merely a troll with an old media platform. They are so desparate for attention in the new media landscape that in their desparation they hire the kind of low information idiot the internet is chock full of. This means that they flatten the distinction between journalism and some rage filled incel fascist. It means that they hasten their own demise and make sure that nobody will miss them when they go bust.

He's the Irish Stephen Jones or Boris Johnson.

Good to see some of the recent 20s already starting games when there are solid alternatives.

Beyond the internationals rejoining the squad, I’m guessing this is McBryde’s first week.
Anyone have any expectations? Will anything change?
I know the Welsh scrum uses different angles with second rows, but I’m not knowledgable enough to notice any real innovation.

Given the performance of the Welsh scrum over the past decade, I'd fully expect the Leinster scrum to improve, particularly in more aggressive scrumaging on the THP side. Lots of hard work ahead for the front five players. He and Gatland (two front-row forwards) believed in lots of scrum reps.

Whatever happened to Jack Dunne? I seem to remember him finishing last season very strongly with the senior team. But since the "incident" all he's gotten - unless I'm mistaken - has been match time with the As, while simultaneously being overtaken by new kid on the block Baird. Strange....

The Established lads: Fardy, Toner, J Ryan.

The inbetweener: Moloney

The Newcommers: C Ryan, Dunne, Baird.

Fair bit of talent to get through.

It's a long season and it's time for all to move on and start developing a guy who looks like he could be a future Irish starter in the SR.
No point in shooting ourselves in the foot, young fellas make mistakes and he's surely learned his lesson at this stage.
A combination of "What goes on tour should soon be forgotten" and "Glasshouse justice" seems appropriate at this stage of the "NEW" season.
Epilogued by "What has Stan Wright done for us recently"?
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.
