[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1182972, member: 39240"] Still think the way it is set up then a European ***le should be target. I accept there a new coach and did say that his benefits won't be seen until next season. But more the pressure is to salvage effectively the last 5 years or so of failures. But especially last year. James Ryan is a massive loss as he was the player that kept Leinster in the fight early last year and I think there isn't that type of player to weather storm if it happens early this year. Big Joe can but he has looked tired a bit lately which is understandable. But he may be key early. On the 10s issue it is going to be an issue for Leinster. The Byrnes are there partly because you have investment, Frawley wants to be a 10, Prendergast is a 10 and if you throw McKenze in there it is too big a pool of 10s. Yes you can rotate them but 10s need runs of games. Could be a bit of a puzzle. On URC Leinster will be favourites but I think leaving Dublin on to a GAA pitch could be a downfall. Obviously not their fault and they could master it just think it is a slight leveller. [/QUOTE]
