You do know Leinster aren't the only team from the Pro 14 in the Champions cup.

I'm going to do an awec and say Leinster put 50 on them. The Leinster backups have handed out hammerings at home this season.

On the other hand, I hope it matches the same fixture last season which was a cracking game.

Leo: Noel your on

Noel Reid: Yes!!

Noel Reid: Awh man

I think Connacht will be too strong. Think it will be close.
Disappointed not to see Porter start. Thought Conan would also start. Big match for Dooley. He's been buried for a while and is firmly stuck on the bottom rung.
On the Connacht side, it's good to see Masterson back and involved. He has had a bad run of injury and has missed the best part of 2 seasons.
TOH will hopefully learn from Keenan and maybe he can fend of being usurped by Keenan in Joe's plans. Lol

The Enforcer? He'd relish it, taking down the durty foreigner who stole his rightful place in the Irish team.

connachta

slow down guys, It really probably won't end with 20+ difference for either sides as crazy diehards imagined on the previous pages

Connacht team is strong but away and without his 3 main international players (Roux/Aki (bench though)/Marms)
Leinster A team is strong, ask poor Welshmen, but with only 3 of the starring players, it won't be that easy vs a proper opposition. Connacht back-row made of 2 super rugby players + a pure gem won't be as much dominated as some expect

It should be pretty much the same gap as last season in the RDS, the other way I personally hope...

A lot of people are seriously underestimating Connaught Connacht. Connaught Connacht always raise their performance for Leinster. Firstly, this fixture is their only chance to play Champions Cup opposition every season. Secondly, for their players, it's kind of like an audition for contracts in front of Leo. They'll bring their A game.

We'll have to change the thread title to "that's the joke".

As class as Leavy is, having no JvdF in that Leinster side is a relief
Leinster have never put a TBP on Connacht afaik (open to correction)
I got on Connacht when we were +16
I'd be very disappointed if we don't make that

This is just low effort, Fardy isn't even first choice in his position. If he was Irish he'd be on loan at Connacht, and injured, by now.

He was schooled in D4. He doesn't hate foreigners.

Didn't you know he was best friends and housemates with the dirty foreigner from Oz only a season or two back.

It's the gentry folk in Leinster who hate the foreigners and open economy. It defeats their inbreeding traditions.

Perhaps the country boys can all manage a trip to Crumlin hospital for a photo op and prove how caring they are with sick children after they disown every dirty foreigner in the country

Let me spell it out for you. I am highlighting the differences between Noel Reid and people who actually DO hate foreigners. I'm defending his honour and highlighting the prejudice of some of our country cousins in the Leinster squad.

Is he:

A. Unfunny

Or

B. Deranged

Actually you've spelled out nothing. You've replaced vagueness with more vagueness.

If you've something to say then say it, plain and simple, name names. Which of the country lads in the squad hate foreigners?

foxyladyxx

B

b.gud

Christ the match can't come soon enough so that there might actually be something worth talking about in here

Heymans

I won't spell it out for fear of leaving myself open to libel or defamation.

It is a known fact and common joke between Dubliners that conservatives from the country in Ireland hate foreigners.

Most of them tend to be from the country or of very strange persuasion.

Someone made light of Noel hating foreigners. I took it upon myself to highlight that it is not Noel but our country cousins who are more likely or indeed do (privately) hate foreigners because they don't like competition.

Diabhal Beag

The only thing cringier than the last few posts is the disgraceful accent on the RDS announcer lad.

I presume it will be his failed attempts to get the locals to stop staring at Insta while Dave Kearney puts on a knock-on masterclass.

Nah, he usually announces Leinster tries like they're ****ing edicts in his grating D4 accent.

And I say that as a Dubliner. We're not ALL D4s.

This is hands down one of the best build up threads in ages.

It's legal in parts of Ballinasloe to marry an immediate relative provided they are legit ginger.

Good to see Aki back for Connacht.

He must have missed the, eh, 'nightlife', while he was away getting married.

How do they test they are legit ginger? Does the curtain have to match the carpet?

Nah just shine the light from your phone on them, if they start to burn then they're authentic enough.

connachta

As last year (and still) Leinster fans underestimated Butler, it's now the case for Colby Fainga'a too.
He faced (or played along with) Fardy and has had exactly the same stats. It's a toss-up tomorrow.
Same for young Boyle and Doris, slight advantage for the 1st.
Leavy is the new idol in Dublin but our Captain Jarrad will hold the comparison, not a millions miles away at least

Centres go Connacht way, Front-5 should too

If there was not the home advantage, it'd up to grab for the Westerners. There it's close to 50/50. +14 handicap looks insane IMO

It’s all fun and games until the light gets shone back on Tracy. Himself and his barber have been doing a great job of keeping it hidden
