I completely agree, but he's still a handy enough 13 and this allows us to get out best players on the pitch.

I think Te'o is our best 13 though.

I would imagine it is still available. If cousin is 15 why not take him to terrace? Wouldn't be an issue
Have you contacted Leinster ticket office

He is not that tall and he doesn't get to many match's....as first game of the season I would guess the terrace will be fairly full so I don't want him spending the entire match trying to see the game...

Yeah quite possibly. Luke might be better defensively though.

Would either of them be capable of moving to 12 effectively is what I'm wondering?
I know it's been a long time since fitz played 12. Would teo be more likely as the role is a bit more 'league' orientated?

It's all a moot point if isa doesn't perform.

Then we'd likely see:

15 Kearney
14 Kearney
13 teo
12 McFadden/Reid
11 Fitz

Officially the terrace is adults only. But as long as he's tall enough and doesn't look like he'd get trampled I can't see it being a problem.

really? for what reason?
Isnt the case in majority of grounds so why is it in RDS?

Speak to stewards they should be able to help if you go with terrace tickets and finding a safe place for your cousin to watch game

It is for 16 years & over

I know before I didn't realize it was 16 and landed to game, they wouldn't let me enter with cousin to terrace as he was too small. It was small crowd so they just moved me to North stand free of charge.

Where? I recall seeing something about from the age of 12.

18. Can I bring my child onto the Terrace?
Junior Season Tickets are not available in the Terrace for Health and Safety reasons. Due to a directive from our Health and Safety advisors children under 12 years of age are not permitted on the Terrace and will be refused entry.

Cardiff hammered Zebre at the weekend.. that's gonna be another tough one.
They have a pretty big pack.. and navidi is always a nuisance to play against.

irishbucsfan · 07-09-2015 5:02pm

I wonder what changes we'll see this weekend? Wouldn't mind seeing some more youth in the pack, I think some hungry young guys could be a big help.

The Ultimate Rugby app says it's on Sky Sports 3. Dunno how accurate that is though.

It's on SS4 according to the planner on my Sky box.

Yes.

Have heard good things about Maloney so would like to see him get a shot.

That's the largest Rhys Ruddock I've ever seen

Redgirl82 · 07-09-2015 10:07pm

Hi XXXX

Your 15 year old will be fine.

You can buy additional tickets using team exchange for this area.

http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/tickets/team_exchange.php

Many thanks.

Email from Leinster ticket office......not really answer to question :-)

The terrace is 20 quid for him, Nth Std would be 10, not sure how much upgrade would be.....might just buy the upgrade and new ticket just to be sure he can see.....

There's not too many people called Rhys Ruddock floating around in fairness.

With T'eo here it allows Ringrose to be drip feed into the team.

If Te'o picks up where he left off last season, we should be selling Ringrose's organs to finance a new deal for him.

So D'Arcy has a shoulder issue

http://www.the42.ie/gordon-darcy-ireland-leinster-shoulder-2316291-Sep2015/
The Leinster head coach did underline that D’Arcy is contracted “until the end of October.” Still, given D’Arcy’s own words, it would be something of a surprise to see him line out for the province again.

I echo Cullen here

Leo Cullen wrote:

Hopefully it won’t be too long-term because he’s running out of time!

D'Arcy is done, but I'd like to see him get a decent send off. Even if it means coming on for last 5 mins in an obscure Friday night fixture.

El D'Arce

Buer · 08-09-2015 8:36am

I'd be a little bit dubious about the shoulder injury and reckon D'Arcy has made his peace with rugby. His recent interview following the Moseley friendly very much suggested that it was over for him and spoke about how he finished up in Donnybrook, where it all started as a schoolboy.

He might do just what you say, a 15 minute walk on part in a game to say goodbye. I would reckon if it was a normal season though, he'd be in the mix for selection in the next couple of weeks.

vienne86 · 08-09-2015 8:44am

D'Arcy seems to be finished all right, but I hope Leinster make a huge fuss about a last cameo appearance in the RDS - he has earned it.

.ak · 08-09-2015 6:57pm

I hope we break the bank to keep t'eo. He could be absolute gold for us, and honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him in an irish Jersey after doing his time here

CatFromHue · 08-09-2015 7:03pm

I think D'arcy might be done too.

If you look at it from Cullen's perspective he has Reid, O'Shea, and T'eo around for the whole season will be looking for them to build up partnerships. Why would you bring in a guy who's not first choice and will be finishing up at the end of October?

I know they say that there is no room for sentiment in pro sport, but I think Leo buys into culture being extremely important. I think it wouldn't be great for squad feeling to just let Darce limp off into retirement, a final appearance off the bench wouldn't do too much to disrupt partnership building.

Who knows, maybe not, but Leo, Isa and Bod got nice sendoffs, I'd say Leo would like to do the same for Darce.

Really? Would you welcome that? Wouldn't it be better if we kept the Irish team Irish as much as possible?
I can very reluctantly understand us bringing in one or two specialists in positions where we are usually limited (tight head, second row) - but I am very surprised at supporters hoping another foreigner will win a place on the Ireland team.

From various rumblings in the media, he's off at the end of the season. Would like him to stay though, very good player.
