Leinster 16/17

Re: Leinster 16/17
Carbery was born in New Zealand, one Irish parent. Moved to Ireland as a kid and went to Blackrock College. Played for Ireland U-20 in 2015.
Jekyll and Hyde performance from Leinster last night. Embarrassingly poor first five minutes after which Edinburgh led 8-0. Then Leinster blitzed them for the next 35 mins to lead 8-26, securing the four try bonus point before half-time. Destroyed them up front. Tries from Leavy, Ringrose, Nacewa and Gibson-Park.
At half-time it looked like they took a big dose of "game's over lads" in the changing rooms and forgot everything they'd done well. Had Edinburgh some better backs they could well have won. They got it back to 20-26 with eight mins left but Leinster dominated the rest of the game and Leavy went over for the fifth try in the last minute. Final score 20-33.
Also have to give a big mention to David Wilkinson. In a crowded field he stands out as comfortably the worst referee in the Pro12. Last night, having reviewed the incident on the big screen with the TMO, he still awarded a deliberate knock-on against Garry Ringrose after he'd blocked a kick.

Re: Leinster 16/17
Just announced, Niall Morris has been forced to retire on medical grounds. Well respected at Tigers and in the last chance saloon on a short term contract at Mexico. Unlucky.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Cormac, You'll not get much of an argument concerning Wilko from me, awful referee

Re: Leinster 16/17
Game on TG4/BBC2W - could be a decent watch. to edge it I reckon with Hairsprays picking up a LBP.
Re: Leinster 16/17
Team is getting closer and closer to a full strength Leinster.
Continuing absence of SOB is a worry.
For all his naivety it was good to see Carberry get a go in September as he could be a good replacement in time for Jonathan. Still only 20.

Injured. Had surgery after picking up a knee injury during the South Africa tour. Due back in October I think?Rovi Snave wrote:D4 - excuse my lack of knowledge - where is Henshaw - injured / resting?Dublin4 wrote:Team is getting closer and closer to a full strength Leinster.

Re: Leinster 16/17
yes Henshaw is out probably for a few more weeks.
I presume the plan is to move him to inside centre and keep Ringrose at 13.
Fergus McFadden can, of course, slot into any of those positions, right?
