Here we are at the end of the pool stages of the Champions Cup. So far so good for Leinster after winning all previous 5 games and sitting top of the heap in the championship. Tomorrow's game looks straightforward to some but it's actually a lot trickier than you might expect. Round 6 brings us … Continue reading Treviso vs Leinster – Champions Cup preview

Happy New Year! What makes it a particularly happy new year for Leinster Rugby and the supporters is that they are still unbeaten in both the Pro14 and Champions Cup this season.

Hands up who's still gutted after last weekend's result?! It wasn't to be for the boys in blue in their 5th Champions Cup final. No matter what they did on the day, it just wasn't good enough.
