    Personally prefer the Mannings and love Eli. Those two carbon copy drives upfield and basketball shots to flip over the top to take Bradys 4th and 5th rings away from him were like he was almost f8cking the stage/pitch. It was sublime.

    Having said that Phelps Federer Bolt Woods are all beneath him in the sporting pantheon of greats.

    I’m not sure why, but this talk of Tom Brady in the Leinster thread is somehow reminding me of Gavin Duffy’s return to GAA…

    Looking forward to it. 6pm kick off is going to be a pain in the arše to get to though.

    Ah that's incredibly generous thank you.

    It will mostly likely be him and his mom and me, but if she can't make it id love to take you up on the offer.

    I'll should know more by Tuesday.

    Thanks again

    I really don't get where they picked a 6pm kick off from. There are no other matches in the league that night. Is it so it doesn't clash with the U20s game?

    I think it'll be a fairly sparse crowd to be honest. I'm grand getting to it, as I work reasonably close by & have booked a day in the office on Friday (first one in nearly two years! 😲) but if I was WFH, I'd be cutting it very, very fine. My brother has had to give up his ticket as he won't be home until 5:30, has to pick the little fella up from creche and his other half won't be home from work until 6:30. And that's just a Dublin problem. If you're living even as close by as Kildare or Meath and are only knocking off work at 5, you'd be really struggling to make it.

    Yep its the U20s clash. Bizarre decision and as another poster said, you can't even buy tickets on Ticketmaster for it so I imagine it's going to be a relatively poor turn-out. I'm WFH and I've no idea if my fiancée can get out of work early to come with me so I might have to bail on it. You're spot on though, whatever about people in Dublin, its going to be near impossible for those outside of Dublin with full-time jobs to make it.

    They should have put it on the Sunday.

    just an FYI


    tickets available now on ticketmaster

    @dregin thanks for the offer, but ill pick up 3 tickets for the north stand for the 3 of us.

    edit: family ticket is actually the same price so we'll probably bring another with us

    I see Glasgow v Munster is on TV on Friday at 8.15.

    I'd imagine that is why the Leinster game is on so early.

    I don't think it's anything to do with the under 20s. The Ulster game last Friday clashed with the under 20s.

    Its still an awful time for the fans who've payed good money.

    That's the 3rd serious knee injury Connors has sustained in his career thus far (although less serious than the previous 2)

    I wonder has it been the same knee each time

    That is worrying for Connors and Leinster. Connors has no luck at all. Leavy is out too! Penny will get minutes now and I suppose an academy player could get into the mix.

    Connors must be devastated. His whole career has been one injury after the next. I worry about his future.

    With injuries and assuming we get no internationals back I guess were looking at a team of:

    Byrne Tracy Ala'alatoa

    Molony Murphy

    Ruddock Deegan Penny

    Luke Ross

    Frawley Osborne

    DK JOB Byrne

    Cronin Dooley Vakh Toner Soroka McCarthy Harry TOB

    Sounds like Ross byrne has some fans in France. His contract must not be sorted yet?

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118596522#Comment_118596522

    I think I'd go for:

    1. Edward Byrne
    2. James Tracy
    3. Michael Ala'alatoa
    4. Joe McCarthy
    5. Ross Molony
    6. Josh Murphy
    7. Scott Penny
    8. Max Deegan
    9. Luke McGrath
    10. Harry Byrne
    11. Rory O'Loughlin
    12. Ciarán Frawley
    13. Jamie Osborne
    14. Tommy O'Brien
    15. Jimmy O'Brien
    16. John McKee
    17. Peter Dooley
    18. Vakhtang Abdaladze
    19. Alexis Soroka
    20. Sean O'Brien
    21. Nick McCarthy
    22. Ross Byrne
    23. David Kearney

    If Joe McCarthy isn't fit stick Murphy in there, I guess. Hopefully McCarthy will be available. It'd be good to see him fast-tracked. I know Murphy is leaving, but having a heavy 6 in there would be helpful for a rookie second row. Maybe Murphy will return to Leinster one day. I don't really see the point in involving Cronin. It wouldn't really be progressive. And surely it's time to try to get HB significant gametime so he can bed in? Jimmy O'Brien plays the game beautifully at fullback. He's a real asset for Leinster.

    You'd hope larmour might get released if he is not in the 23 2 weeks in a row. I'd imagine Hume with travel as one if the 24th men if henshaw comes back in as expected. But with larmours versatility he might be kept in camp.

    Id hope Harry starts this week as Ross started the last game great window to rotate the 2 of them and give the 2 of them plenty of game time.

    Connacht v Leinster Friday 9th April kick off 8pm.

    Return leg on Good Friday, 15th April in the Aviva Stadium with kick off at 5.30pm.

    I know it's Good Friday but still a terrible time for a kick off and to try sell it to the public.

    Yeah, 5:30pm on Good Friday isn't great. A lot of people would still be working since it's not a public holiday.

    Yeah very few get this as a day off. I think it's a very strange time to be given when then trying to sell as many tickets as possible for the Aviva.
