Half-time: Leinster 'A' 33 Bristol 5. Brilliant first half from the lads, five tries and a bonus point in the bag. #LEIvBRI #BICup

Yeah Toulon was our last loss there 2 years ago. We've won 3 games against Munster, 1 against Saints and 1 against Wasps since.

A win against Bath also in that time, no?

Big article on the Leinster academy in the Irish Times

Pretty sure Bath in the Aviva was under MOC, played them in the Rds under Leo

We played Bath in the Aviva in 2012 under Joe. Absolutely hammered them. But that's probably too long ago now.

Bridge93 · 16-12-2017 11:27am

we played Bath in the quarter final at the Aviva. 2015

You're thinking of Cardiff.

It's paywalled sadly.

Bridge93 · 16-12-2017 11:48am

We played Bath under Joe too and did hammer them. Was during the back to back games. I remember because it was the coldest game I've ever been at.

Bit ropey after christmas party but heading into town now for a feed and then onto the Aviva. Perfect winter day for rugby, cold but not freezing, barely a breeze.

Yeah I remember that.

Lukey had a great game, I think we put 50 up on then and banahan got their only try late in the game

Actually just checked, my memory is flawed!

They scored 3 late tries after they got to 45-6 down. Banahan didn't score, but the Beaver did.

It was soooooo cold that night....I had a sneaky can in my jacket but couldn't drink it my hands got so cold.....in the end my friend was working in the Aviva that night and brought me up after about 20 mins to the premium level....I was never so happy in all my life:P

Would be great if Glasgow could do Leinster a favour here.

No that was the season before.

Not watching the Monty-Glasgow game but that scoreline will do for now. Hopefully Glasgow can score first in the second half....

lotmc · 16-12-2017 3:16pm

No favour from Glasgow. They are gifting tries to Montpellier. Bonus point try just scored. Score 26-19. The shame of it is that Glasgow were an easy pass away from going 14-26 ahead but blew it. Two fast tries conceded immediately after.
We will have to do this ourselves!

Hope its OK to ask this in this thread...but I'm looking to get a few tickets to a Leinster game as a present for my friend and I was wondering which game would be the best to go for?

I've been on ticketmaster for the last hour looking. I see they're due to play ulster, Connacht, scarlets, Glasgow warriors and southern kings in the new year? I figured Scarlett's would be a good game but there's only tickets in the north stand left which probably aren't great? (I don't mind spending a bit extra on good seats)

If you had to pick what game would you rather get tickets to?

Just avoid the southern kings who are total cannon fodder, everything else would be great.

errlloyd · 16-12-2017 3:33pm

North stand tickets arent bad. They're unreserved so you can get very good seats if you show up early enough. Uncovered so if it rains you get wet, but that's life.

Former Former · 16-12-2017 3:37pm

Well that's that for Glasgow.

awec · 16-12-2017 4:14pm

The crowd looks terrible on TV.

Quint2010 · 16-12-2017 4:15pm

How is it that Leinster each years always get ridiculously difficult groups? The positions of the other three teams in their prospective group are 1st, 1st and 2nd!
