    Coverage begins at 1445, so I reckon that means game at 1500 (our time).

    Leinster website says 4?

    Their twitter said "an hour to go" 15 minutes ago, so 3pm Irish time it is.

    Fowler's, directly across the road from Gibney's, I would say is your best bet. They always show rugby there. And if not just ask at the bar.

    Two players who play for the same team in a thread about said team.... why indeed!

    Haven't seen Zebo mentioned in this thread. Maybe I missed it.

    He was doing unseen contributions.

    Back from my hiatus after the Argies game, good to see things are semi-normal again. Caught the second half and was impressed by Sexton and Te'o. Would love him to sign another contract. Unfortunately I can only see him staying if we have a good European campaign and go close in the league. Anyway two weeks till the Champions Cup, interesting to see who'll play next week before then. Presume SOB, Heaslip, Ross and RK will play some game time.

    With the new coach and the RWC and the missing 20 players and whatever I'd definitely have taken 4 wins from the first 6 games, particularly beating Glasgow. A good chance to peg back the Scarlets who've been very strong so far on Friday.

    Incidentally to they pay any attention to allowing players to recover when setting the fixtures? Leinster playing Sunday then again on Friday, seems unnecessary. I'm sure it happens to other teams too.

    Don't think so, its probably just down to the tv deals really. although friday night means that we get an extra 2 days before the first Euro match (think its on sunday)

    Yes, it's been a decent start for us. Re the turnaround, that just happens.....it's whatever the TV companies want for their schedules.

    It also gives Leinster at least an extra day for their Champions Cup game the following week.

    Time for Mick Dawson to call Ben Teo's agent and get a long term deal sorted. Given he is English Qualified I'd say there will be offers from English clubs on the table.

    English qualified? Didn't know that.

    He could be in demand, but I think we should smash open the piggy bank.

    His mum has English heritage.

    He was born in NZ and has represented Samoa once in League, so he's got options.

    Amazing how Burgess has continually been hyped as the best thing since sliced bread yet if I was given the choice between him and Te'o, I know who I'd take in a flash!

    To be fair though Te'o had a full season to settle in without much pressure or attention on him.

    I'm not sure what the different positions are in League but Te'o played centre there too, don't think Burgess did. Although having watched some of England v NZ today they all seem to do the exact same thing.

    I know beggars can't be choosers and im not as xenophobic about it as Hook for example, but its a bit depressing to see a scramble to nail down players for Irish qualification due to residency. Its been a very bad scene for the integrity of the England team and i dont think we should go down that road, albeit guys like Strauss, Payne and White give it their all and retain their squad places on merit.
