Leinster vs Aironi Rugby

First topic message reminder :

G'day!
Think the team gets announced this afternoon.
Hoping we can get another 4 points on the board this week and come out injury free.

Looks like Luke is back in the mix and could get a run out, on top of that there are returning guys like Dom Ryan (3rd game back) and Conway (2nd game back) who would relish this to build momentum if they get selected.

Hoping we can still do some squad rotation and include the likes of Macken, Browne, Hagan, Ruddock, Ryan, Conway all get a run out to keep our lads fresh.

Any thoughts on the game? Other than it not being televised!?

Love it Gibbo, they grew up so fast!!

Well Billy, Mickado knows how I was about Johnny back 3 years ago. Took the slights from Munster, Ulster, Connacht and Leinster fans. Took de pain against the grain, and the unbelievers. I feel like he's my boy yah. Cant help it. I Believed in him.

Had Madigan in fantasy rugby this week

Where has the time gone Mick? Chislers to men.

Schmidt is red-hot as a coach right now. What price Schmidt?

The SH will be looking at what he's done for us development-wise. France, will want him back. England, should approach him to get them going.We, must pay him phhookloads to keep him.

I'm delighted with the guy. Good hard earned win. Need to take it up a notch I guess as we have dipped a bit

Fair dues, i feel the same about Sexton when my old School mate called me 10 years ago to watch a young St Mary's lad that may do well

Thanks for the link again thomond.

Grown men weeping emotional tears about the past.............. is this the Fianna Fail Convention thread?

The game - Yes, tough game and a degree of complacency beginning to show....Then again, this is the phoney war period and you never do know what you are seeing sometimes........ Aironi certainly deserved more than the intercept try...but some cold hearted poster told me never to use the word 'deserve' for a losing side. So, let's just say I wouldn't have minded Leinster getting a sting that hurt a tad more.

Ah yeah. Mary's man Bill.

I just remember raving about him, when he came on and finished off WASPS at the RDS in a HC Pool game, back when. He just looked like Madigan does now. Without the kicking. Felipe was on the Throne.

You know, this may seem like I need social-care like(I do), but, I have, on personal vid, every kick JS took in his 1st full season. For Leinster and Ireland. Live. And me screaming in the background.

Happy Days.

Good man T. Thanks bud.

Bloody Hell! Ospreys losing to Warriors 10-20 at The Library! GO Warriors!

Ulster beating Embra 21-8. Not sure if its over or not.

Connacht game on still. 7-3 down to Llanelli. MON Connacht!

Go on Warriors

Im confused here. All games started at 19:00/19:05 OUR time. Yet, the game at O's shows just 45 mins on the clock? Am I in a Dam time-warp here Billser?

If you are then so am i Gibbo... We are in the land that time forgot

Warriors started early to get a head start....It worked.

13-26. Warriors are really up for the playoffs, mid 6-N. Embra, no chance. And Blues... dunno? They are leaving it a bit late for a run.

I can see a big tussle coming up for 3rd and 4th. Ulster looking likely again.Warriors getting stronger and more focused on it than the rest.

We already know who will be 1st/2nd. Its all about 3rd/4th now.

Poor Connacht. 17-3 v Scarlets.

This is being shown on setanta Ireland now if anyone missed it.
