    Surprised that Quinlan has not been picked up by anyone. I couldn't believe he was cut from Munster.

    What double headers are you referring to exactly?
    5 euro entry for all could help but it really helps if club led and clubs need the income from the entrance fee's and dropping entrance fee mightnt necessarily increase crowds... IRFU can provide 5 entry for all but clubs need to be in their communities getting people to attend/go to games and support the pre match dinners or whatever else.

    Scrap the home advantage and have the 1B Final on the day of the 1A final. I appreciate home advantage is important to the 1B finalists but the winner is moving to 1A anyway so will play in Aviva at some stage the following season maybe against LFC so good to get day out for fans from both. I think it would be very achievable to double it, maybe even buy one get one free promotion on tickets or kids go free. Also are LFC getting a new astro this summer?

    I dont see clubs wanting to move the promotion final between 9th1A/2nd 3rd 4th 1B to Aviva as necessary.
    Would clubs want it?
    And do IRFU want the extra game on main pitch? And why move it if its to be played on back pitch?
    Id much rather the youths under 16/18 all ireland finals were played as curtain raisers to the 1A final if anything is to be played before the 1A final on same day.
    No idea if Lansdowne are getting new all weather. Not a member so dont know if are or not

    Great weather for the game. After the intensity of Sunday and a long hard season we have a lot of weary bodies but hopefully we have one more performance left in the team. Expect Terenure to play a high tempo game so hopefully should be a decent game.

    Munster chose to go with Bill Johnston instead and Rory Scannell was playing 10 at the time as well.

    Some turnaround actually went to the game and would have put money on Terenure at half time as they looked in control and Landsowne looked tired had lost 2/3 to injury in first half as well. Role reversal in second half with some great play by Lansdowne back 3 and a sub back row who carried brillantly when introduced in the 2nd half none of whom were involved in the Bateman or AIL Final teams that were published. Peter Sullivan the Irish 20 is a beast of a man for his age and a winger he destroyed Terenure 2nd half. Heard after that Lansdowne have Leinster League Cup, Leinster Senior Cup, Bateman Cup & All Ireland League Cup some acheivment with their 20s winning the league as well not sure but think I saw on twitter that their J1s won the League as well. Great year for them.

    Tom Roche the fullback is under-20 too.

    Good to hear in Sullivan, don't think he has an academy offer.

    Yeah don't think either have offers but if they continue that form at Senior level they wont be short of alternative offers. Sullivan looks a bit raw but serious potential huge man with speed as well. Roche might have a shot at making JWC squad he scored a lovely try from inside his own 22. They have some of the tries by both on Lansdowne Twitter page

    No He pulled out after warm up.. Overall a very thrown together team for Terenure with some making their debuts at 1xv level from the start and from the bench.

    Could well do.

    Anyone hearing of players moving clubs for next season?

    Hear Tarf have signed a few big names from Trinity.

    Hear Belvo on a big recruitment drive as well.
