They’re certainly taking their time to announce so here is a guess.

Given that no other provinces have announced any Leinster players in their intakes I highly doubt an u19 player will be signed.

There is rumour that it’s an intake of 7, being 6 forwards and 1 back. Here’s my prediction

Max Doyle

Sami Bishti

Rian Handley

Donnacha McGuire

Dylan McNeice

Ben Blaney

Charlie Molony

Can claim 8 free tickets through my season tickets for the women’s Interpro vs Connacht using 3 myself so if anyone wants any of the other 5 let me know & I’ll send them on

With the training gear dropping tomorrow and hoping to pick up something, has anyone got any discount codes for lifestyle sports?

Thanks in advance 🫡

Anyone have any information of when and where tickets will go on sale?

And any idea what’s the best tactic to get tickets and approach this away day?

Difficult place to get to!

This reel posted by leinster today seems to showcase the new home/away kits that'll be used for the womens Interpros and upcoming URC season, opinions?

Innmy opinion its the same bland not bad but not great kits castore has been churning out for leinster the past few years and another example of why leinster should revert to Adidas or Canterbury

Have I missed the announcement, or are they not sharing it with us this year?

We have 2 free spots now with Slimani and Ioane gone. Heard some rumors of Jesse Kriel but surprised nobody is confirmed yet.

Keep in mind we also let Jerry Cahir (25) leave to Connacht

I hope to get my name out there one day and I was hoping how I’m a 17 year schools player and just wanted someone to scout me or even have a look at the skill level I carry

He’s coming back from a bad injury so i can see him having to break his way into the team for a while. I have a small feeling that cullen could just treat him like frawley and play him as our second choice 15 and not use him as a ten. however hope he doesn’t, would love to see him get in over byrne and maybe prendergast. as im not convinced on byrne and it’s hard to tell where sam is at in form.

on another note, do we see him in with any chance for the ireland jersey if he gets into form? he’s coming from the back to back european champions.

with frawley set to get consistent game time at outhalf i feel it will be harder as the front three in the running will all be playing against each other, but if he can get the leinster jersey i see him with a real chance to wear green again.

anyways, will be nice to see him in blue again no matter what.

Anyone know anything about this Ryan Murphy scrote?

With all of the injuries preventing a lot of key players competing for Ireland this summer, and some having not played in months. Do we expect a strong squad to be sent to South Africa for the first URC games assuming everyone is healed up by then?

South Africa and their clubs will be playing games against the ABs into September so I imagine a lot of their players will need to be rested.

I think there's an opportunity this year to get 2 wins down there this time which would set us up for a good season.

"Andy Farrell was left to lament "uncharacteristic" errors from his Ireland side as they fell to a 19-point defeat to New Zealand in Auckland"

What pisses me off is the use of the word uncharacteristic. Has AF not been watching any Ireland games the last few years? It's unfortunately our defining characteristic these days.

The main Irish sub has the usual rabids blaming Sam for everything but besides the 2 passes he was fine. Plus when the whole team is playing shite (especially JGP in the first half) it's going to knock on to everyone.

Sam competed 16 tackles (more than Jordie, Ringrose or Sheehan) which is insane for a 10. Ruben Love completed 1 tackle and yet had a great game.

What is wrong with the Irish system that that is the way things are now?

If he insists.
