Leinster Rugby Official Thread

It's hard to say HH, they are making all the right noises but training early in the week was very flat, understandable considering the emotional high after last week.

On paper Leinster have a far superior back-row and midfield and I won expect their power runners to make hay but have a nagging feeling that this game is too soon after last week and I think Munster will shade it but I expect as always it won't be for the faint hearted...

Drico's replacement tomorrow, Brendan Macken, does a great Ryle Nugent.

When are the 6N tickets going on sale? Better take the chance to see BOD in action on the big stage before it's too late.
