The Zebras v Leinster
First topic message reminder :
There were several injury concerns arising from Saturday night's derby victory over Munster in Limerick, with Dave Kearney set for a spell on the sidelines after being knocked unconscious midway through the second half. Kearney was released from hospital on Sunday morning and will follow the return to play guidelines for head injury.
Gordon D'Arcy suffered a mild calf strain in the opening minutes of the game but it is hoped that the Ireland centre will be available for the trip to Italy next weekend, while second row Quinn Roux (dead leg) should also be back in the frame.
Try-scorer Brian O'Driscoll suffered cramp on his comeback game, but he was fit to finish the game, while Sean O'Brien received treatment to a cut above his left eye which required stitches. Neither knock is expected to prevent either international from missing out on selection ahead of Friday's midday team announcement.
The province expect to have Fergus McFadden and Jonathan Sexton available, although this weekend's game is set to come a week too soon for back-row forward Jordi Murphy as he recovers from a broken hand.
Heinke van der Merwe (knee) continues to receive treatment, while Eoin O'Malley is doubtful but making progress after his long term knee injury.

Agreed, Sherry is going to be one for the future, he should end up with a lot of Munster caps. It will be interesting to see how he gets treated during the summer and how much gametime he gets in the USA

Doesn't look like there is 20,000 at all in the stadium for this game

20,000 tickets have been sold!!! According to Leinster rugby.
Nowhere near that amount in the stadium at the moment.

Re: The Zebras v Leinster
Is there anyone better than O'Driscoll at shooting out of the line and making the hit?

Another try - 2 in 15 minutes, chances of Leinster not getting 5 points look very slim.

God I hope Zebre win their last game of the season. 28 consecutive losses would be a hard 'aul season.

Great try by Sinoti, fantastic footwork to evade several tacklers.

I really want Zebre to win but there is no way that their number 5 should still be on the pitch

BOD not happy. And rightly so. Memories of the worse time in his career came to the fore just there...

Re: The Zebras v Leinster
Wooo! Zebre level at HT.
Yes I'm cheering for Zebre. It's not that I want Leinster to lose, its just... come on! 26 losses, 0 wins. Do you not just feel sorry for them?

How have Zebre not won this year. They have a pretty good team.
They are also missing some players

Re: The Zebras v Leinster
some very poor leinster performances from bent, mclaughlin and carr mainly.
leinster could have 5 tries or so they need a lot more patience
and shush notch

Nah. They aren't. How many times in that half did they put the pass five yards behind the player, knock on simple offloads, get caught with no scrum half at the ruck?
They have potential which is let down by very poor basics.

Carr is having a shocker. Hope he improves with Connacht next season.

Re: The Zebras v Leinster
Whenever i have seen Zebre taking the lead in a game they have choked mentally and made some ridiculous basic errors.

Notch, they have decent players but I think the coaching is letting them down big time.

He might not stay for the 3 years because I can see London Irish getting relegated.

If Dom Ryan had just put the foot down he could have powered over the line there, instead he went for a step on the fullback :/

Yeah thought Dom Ryan should have just gone for it, power run etc.
