Maybe, I’m not in the room when they’re discussing contracts.
If I was in Deegan’s shoes I’d be desperately trying to stay in Leinster rather than go to Ulster, that’s a gamble with the state they’re in. Failing that, get to the south of France.
I think his options are stay out or go abroad. He’s obviously comfortable in Leinster and might see Conan’s spot up for grabs in the next 12-18 months.
Otherwise I don’t see him playing at a standard high enough to get him into Ireland squads elsewhere. Coombes, Prendergast and Timoney are all...
I don’t think it’s Saints fans at all, totally magnanimous. It’s a consistent thing with Leinster after every game that comments about reffing are made. Sore losers wouldn’t be the term I choose but was just replying to the last post.
Its definitely worse when they play an English side on TNT...
We hear this every game across loads of different European refs. I reckon Leinster games are being officiated properly.
I think Toulouse will be marginal favourites or else it’ll be a dead heat with the bookies. Leinster have only really played one good game this season.
No blockbuster fixture really and both expected to be comfortable home wins. Leinster and Northampton have some history but don’t think we’ve played in 10 years. Toulouse v Quins have never played a significant game in my memory.
Saints players have a few sound bites but Leinster have chosen...
Genuinely think the Paris quarter finals / de fact semis were the two highest quality games of rugby ever played.
Too bad I’ll never rewatch them because of the pain.
Yeah I think it's fair the IRFU aren't allowing many NIQ props. A real potential problem area in the next few years.
Same with 9.
I like NIQs in positions where we have talent but maybe are a bit one dimensional in. Centre, wing, second row all come to mind.
