I get the feeling Leo punishes himself daily with the reminder of that Perpignan semi.

Disappointing that they've chosen to play in Marys. Surely an opportunity to bring a game to a non-traditional area.

Re: Pre-season friendles
Mary's is a strange one, great for AIL but wouldn't have thought it was suited to a Leinster game, even a pre season friendly. Thought Tallaght stadium worked well in the last. Very heavy pitch too, that won't be fun in pre season.

Re: Pre-season friendles
Really should be bringing these games down the country with a rota system for each county. That way every county would be guaranteed a game every 6 years based on 2 friendlies per year.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:Mary's is a strange one, great for AIL but wouldn't have thought it was suited to a Leinster game, even a pre season friendly.

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

No it's not, it's a good thing
Re: Pre-season friendles
Why? Given the success of the game at Navan last season, you'd have thought they would have brought more games around the province...Oldschoolsocks wrote:wixfjord wrote:Disappointing that they've chosen to play in Marys. Surely an opportunity to bring a game to a non-traditional area.

Re: Pre-season friendles
It's a good thing if Mary's is your club.
