That’s all folks – end of 2016/17 season
So as we close the book on the 2016/17 season, we have a lot of highs and a few lows to look back on. Ultimately this season has been extremely exciting for a Leinster supporter and very heartening in terms of what this squad is capable of. The biggest problem within this squad is within … Continue reading That’s all folks – end of 2016/17 season
Leinster v Scarlets – 19 May 2017
Just like the title of the very first Star Wars movie, we have a ‘New Hope’, another chance to win a semi final!

However, I feel that the call for pints in the RDS may be required for more medicinal purposes. And sure … Continue reading Leinster v Connacht – 29 October 2016
Toulon v Leinster – 18 April 2015
First of all, the team selection is strong as expected but the state of the minds within this strong selection is what should be focused on more so, I’ll get to that later. What can we say about Toulon? Well, it’s mostly all positive. European heavy weights and current champions, packed with internationals, world greats, … Continue reading Toulon v Leinster – 18 April 2015
