I’m rooting for Glasgow this weekend against my 4th favourite Irish team.

I’ll be at the saints game again, really enjoy French away fans if there are many going.

Home wins across the board, I reckon
Glasgow fans have been insufferable on social media/Reddit this last week so I'm hoping they get a pasting

Even with how hated we are (which I understand but do think it shpuld be mitigated somewhat considering we're the most homegrown team in Europe). The only reason any neutral could support Glasgow in this one is a lack of exposure to Glasgow. The Townsend culture has remained strong there. The Welsh will largely be up for them however.

Don't remember the last time they'd have faced us giving it a full whack, expect them to hang in until the third quarter but we should put them away then. If we start fast it could be a fairly dull game where we keep them at arm's length throughout.

Leinster fans out here chanting “Leinster jobs for Leinstermen” yet are confused why people may not like them

Jordie starts yuuuup

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Rooting for Leinster, Munster, Saints, Toulouse

Jordie starts yuuuup

Bit arrogant not starting first choice players in every position

To.be fair they will still win by 20points. Some will say resting, others rotation and some it is arrogant.
But look at the 23. They are still expecting to still walk this

We've used these tactics all year for impact off the bench.

Leinster over Glasgow, but I hope the Warriors win.

I do wonder I'd well see Porter after 20-30. With Kelleher just back from injury it makes sense to have Sheehan bench.

Didn't see any update about Baird, not having him or Ryan is a serious loss. Doris has played a lot of rugby, and not like Conan is a massive step down, while Deegan has earned his shot.

Barrett is simply a better player than Henshaw and TOB is a better winger than Osborne who I'm also hoping is not injured.

Baird picked up a knock in training. - Leo

Not a sellout in Dublin feels a bit weird

Actually only looks 25% full

 

[Ddanno]

See you in ten mins matey

Lucky

Some contact with Barrett there from the Glasgow scrum.

Atmosphere feels flat in the stadium.

Imagine it's no hype about it, Friday night, and prob like a handful from Glasgow.

Only a week to sell tickets in a game that they are massive favourites for.

Better to save money for the Semi's tbf (Not to sound arrogant)

Also clashes with Coachella

 

[big ginger 8]

Brilliant hands.

Seems we're targeting Glasgow's fringe d, a lot of quick pick and go's by the first forward there.

Edit: ah ******** Conan looks in bits.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bit weird to take someone off injured in obvious/visible pain and then just be sat with the subs - surely he should be off down the tunnel with the medics?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Barrett cool as a cucumber
