    Ireland's new captain sent transfer tongues wagging by hinting to BBC Sport that he could be playing his rugby abroad from next season.
    Story here, can't see Leinster matching anything ZP or French clubs have to offer. Course we wouldn't be hearing this if Leinster had made the HEC QFs (at least not for a couple of months). Not having the outhalf situation sorted out may end up costing them their best player :(

    He said it on the Late Late Show too where he was being interviewed about his recent winning of the 'Ireland's Sexiest Man' award. FFS. Mind you with his other half Glenda Gilsenan on the judging panel and competition provided by the likes of Pat Kenny, he didn't have too much to do.

    Isn't it funny how being a Leinster fan gives you an insight into what it must be like to be English? In the Irish context we have all the population, the biggest richest playing base, the most corporate sponsorship but we always under achieve. And nobody else likes us.

    And our star player is a smug pig-faced Will Carling type who is undeniably supremely talented but just a little hard to warm to. Let him bog off to the South of France. Good luck to him. He ain't going to win the 'Sexiest man in Toulouse' award, that's for sure. Not while Trevor is still there anyway. :-)

    Try and hang on to Hickie and D'Arcy. Get Contepomi fit and raring to go (and properly registered) next season. Bring in Des Dillon to replace Victor if he hangs up his boots. Oh and pray that Connacht don't win the Parker Pen Cup, because if they do we're really in the shlt.


    No offence lads. But we Dublin 4 types are just more important than you. Live with it. :-)

    PS

    G'wan Munster. You can't possibly get an away draw in a semifinal AGAIN so there should be one great Heineken Cup dayout left in Dublin. And if anybody deserves to win it this year, it's surely you lot.

    Why thank you Hairy Homer :)

    Couldn't agree more with most of what you've said about from the one more game left in dublin. Tooth and nail for the semi to be played in TP if we get through and get the home semi!

    BOD hasn't performed anything close to his ability in a good while, cya.
