Leinster v Exeter – Preview

There's no rest for the wicked, especially when it comes to the back to back fixtures stage of the Champions Cup. Leinster host Exeter at the Aviva Stadium 6 days after their fiercely physical and hard fought win away last weekend. The way in which Leinster defeated Exeter last week was very impressive. They deployed … Continue reading Leinster v Exeter – Preview

Exeter v Leinster – Post match review

Three rounds done, half way through the pool stages and Leinster are riding high in the Champions Cup! Of course, there is still a way to go and I'm sure in the Leinster HQ, there are no chickens being counted, and a fat lady is still silent! However, away from home in a ground undefeated … Continue reading Exeter v Leinster – Post match review

Round 3 of the Champions Cup is finally upon us with back to back fixtures against Exeter Chiefts. Exeter are a familiar foe to Leinster in the Champions Cup, we met them in the 2012/13 season where Leinster won the away fixture 20-29 and Leinster also won the home game 9-6. Although this must fill … Continue reading Exeter Chiefs vs Leinster – Preview

Treviso v Leinster – Post match review

December 2, 2017December 2, 2017 / Rugby Spotlight / Leave a comment

Treviso 10 - Leinster 36 Another highly energetic and clinical display from Leinster got rewarded with another try bonus point win away to Treviso. I certainly do not get tired of these big Leinster wins! Our new signing looked very sharp throughout. Many may not have expected the Kiwi to score a try on his … Continue reading Treviso v Leinster – Post match review

Treviso v Leinster – Preview

December 1, 2017 / Rugby Spotlight / Leave a comment

After their very impressive performance against the Dragons last weekend, Leinster must be brimming with confidence in terms of their overall ability, especially in attack. Leinster look to be back to their attacking best, similar enough to how they looked at this stage of the competition last season. Don't worry, I know last season didn't … Continue reading Treviso v Leinster – Preview

Leinster 54 - Dragons 10 After 12 minutes played, Dragons were 10 nil up, they looked very sharp in attack and controlled possession well. However, for the following 68 minutes, they didn't score another point while Leinster went up a few gears to score 8 tries and leave Dragons bewildered behind their try line. A … Continue reading Leinster v Dragons – Post match review

We're back to Pro14 action this weekend with Leinster taking on Dragons for the second time this season, this time at the RDS.

Leinster is on a roll with 5 wins in a row, 4 of which have been against some of our toughest opponents in the Champions Cup and Pro14 (Munster, Montpellier, Glasgow, Ulster). After coming away with maximum points from the first two rounds of our "group of death" in the Champions Cup, and also coming … Continue reading Glasgow v Leinster – Preview

Ulster v Leinster – Post match review

October 29, 2017 / Rugby Spotlight / Leave a comment

Ulster 10 - Leinster 25 It took Leinster a while to find their feet in this match but when they finally did, they never looked like losing it. It was a day that started with a lot of unknowns; will the 12 replacements in the team cause some rustiness, are the young lads ready to … Continue reading Ulster v Leinster – Post match review
