they will still have the stars on the european jersey.
Leinster Rugby - Leinster Rugby to remove stars from home and alternate jersey
Leinster Rugby and Castore have this morning launched the 2025/26 home jersey and with it, have confirmed that the four stars, which currently adorn all jerseys, will no longer feature. The stars, which signify the four Champions Cup wins, have been removed from the Leinster Rugby 2025/26 home...www.leinsterrugby.ie
I feel this is because Leinster feel the stars are a jinx now. The 5 stars had become a mental burden.
Honestly the jersey looks cleaner without them tbh
Well yeah I'm pretty sure it is enforced as every team does it
Just no one else does it for their normal kits.

Don't know if there's any truth in it but if there is going for Castore over LuluLemon was the single worst thing Leinster have ever done.
I haven't bought a bit of Castore and won't.

If it's Castore they'd have probably peeled off any way.

Oh gas, was rumoured a while back and had some backlash. We do make more sense than Munster on this one, but a weird situation.
Brother is already playing cricket for Ireland I see! I'm sure this will have an outsized reaction (because of where he's coming from), but ultimately it's a kid who made a decision where he wanted to pursue his rugby career, he's not guaranteed anything here, looks a decent player from the clips in the article, but it could all come to nothing. Leinster academy definitely makes more sense than ours.
