Having read Blockhead’s comments on Babbling Brook re the run in for the Pro 14 I feel I must wish Toulouse and Munster all the best for there game in Newcastle

Aye, he is very bitter, an Ulsterman must have stole his girlfriend/ran over his dog. If / win the Heineken, the league could get an extra automatic spot and a 4th placed side in one of the Conferences could avoid the dreaded playoff.Aird wrote:Having read Blockhead’s comments on Babbling Brook re the run in for the Pro 14 I feel I must wish Toulouse and Munster all the best for there game in Newcastle
Fun but pointless statistics about the Heineken Semi Finals - in the history of the Heineken Cup - Toulouse have never won a QF/SF away v an Irish province and Munster have never lost a QF/SF away in England.

Re: Mexico 2018/19
Thinking of Leinster's run in, I reckon they might not be doing themseves many favours by 'resting' their front line players so often. If they looked rusty against us, could it be because they don't play together as often as they should? I know that players must not be over-worked and that injury is a reql risk, but if a player isn't playing very often, does the edge go? And, if a team isn't playing together regularly, does their coherence and instinctive understanding of each other go?
Re: Mexico 2018/19
Good points, Solid. Leinster have such a big squad that they can't possibly keep everyone happy. Players will want to play. No matter how successfull a team are, most players will want to play more 4/5 games per season.solidarity wrote:Thinking of Leinster's run in, I reckon they might not be doing themseves many favours by 'resting' their front line players so often.

SOB was away in Dubai earlier in the week but they still had Ruddock and Conan from the week before. It wasn't an injury crisis.solidarity wrote:Seriously? Or are you just coddin'?Dave wrote:Which was out of choice rather than necessity. Some of their backrowers were on holiday.Neill_M wrote:

Re: Mexico 2018/19
It's hard to take any interest in the remaining Pro 14 matches from a Leinster perspective, to be honest.
Much more important for us to focus on the semi final on Easter Sunday.
It is good to see the 2nds and 3rds get game time. I imagine we will be sending the kids to Belfast for the last game.
