Re: Leinster 2014-15
Baggy,
Thanks for the good wishes next Sunday, and I am not surprised at your admission that you were never Leinster's biggest fan. I have no idea just how big or small you are.... honestly .... even though you have always been sweet reason and a voice of moderation on this Forum. It's nice, anyway, to know you have been a closet fan.
I could equally agree that a lot of our following is ephemeral, fair weather stuff, that hung around for the fancy footwork and juggling of the Joe era. Despite their ignorance of the laws of the game and their unfamiliarity with its values, we need their dosh to sell season tickets. Hence the pressure on MOC.
I look forward with fascination as to how Sunday plays out. Blathering on about a good performance is simply that. We need a result. Winning in our case means vicious and violent confrontation at the breakdown, high tempo and no quarter given. It means tries being scored and not being conceded. Toulouse away in the quarter in 2006 comes to mind.

The oul fella's threatened to shoot nearly all of us in the bake at some time or other for daring to have an opinion!

Re: Leinster 2014-15
The return of Sexton might inspire the Leinster back line next year but losing BoD ,who despite the fact that he was well past his best before date , but could still time a pass to enable others to score and D'Arcy in his twilight if not near darkness , the Leinster back line at the moment is apparently toothless .
The forwards seem to be able enough but with a malfunctioning back line there is an inability to score like what you did in years gone by. ( sorry Erin )

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Isa Nacewa To Return To Leinster Rugby
Good signing for next season as cover during the RWC and he will add some real class to a back line which has looked ordinary and lacking in penetration this season
How many NIQ's will they have next season?
