The ghost of John Muldoon v the tears of Cian Healy Build up thread

molloyjh

The only way I can imagine that to be true is if the fans ended up causing some sort of obstruction or something like that. Fans being where the buses pull up is quite a normal thing. If Leo was to lodge a complaint every time something like that happened he’d be lodging complaints most weeks. I’m calling BS on that one.

Also, I think some people are taking this thread a little too seriously. It’s a bit of fun boys and girls, it’d be nice to keep it that way.

Yeah even I was a bit uuummmm right about it ( even if I pissed myself laughing at the thought of it)

Leinster have gone from +1 to -4 and that's before the team is announced.

Woah. Somebody knows the lineups!

If Leinster name the seconds and I jump on in time...

We'll see how much it jumps when the teams are announced.

Bookies have seen the outrageous arrogance and complacency of Connacht fans on this thread and figure it will filter down to the team.

Hugo Keenan and Ronan Kelleher not in the 'A' 23. Hopefully they have a part to play in the senior squad.

Both players have played a decent bit of rugby the last few weeks. More likely they're rested I think.

But I'd love to see them get a senior debut this weekend. Keen to see how Kelleher gets on especially

As the creator of the thread I would like to distance myself from these remarks.

This is as serious as it gets.

Buckle up Buckaroo's.

There was rumour that Leo Cullen complained to pro 14 officials about the fans that were located at where the busses pulled in.

I think the complaint was that Connacht organised it or told fans to be there. Which is mad considering they have to get out of the busses outside the stadium

I heard it from people that were in the Connacht set-up that day

Yeah, heard it from people within Connacht as well.
Not sure what anyone can complain about, the bus pulled up beside the Supporters area. What were fans supposed to do? Ignore the teams arrive?
Poor Leinster Lambs weren't expecting Connacht fans to be singing songs

Or possibly he made some type of complaint about the setup and people took it to be about this and it was a funny story so became what people were saying happened.

Connacht fans acting like they actually won a competition they entered last season is amusing.

Sure it wouldn’t be the only time that a coach complained about a team’s arrival at Murrayfield :pac:

I see they are rebooting the Rocky Franchise again.

Solid team. Should give the Scarlets A a good run.

When's the team for the Leinster match named?

Buer

Good to see we're putting out a strong side for our biggest provincial rivals and wrapping them in cotton wool for the minnows next week.

Oh it's on.

Connacht going to get spanked.

I think Buer was the first to highlight it but it looks like the provinces and IRFU have the teams doing a dry run on a tournament that Ireland will be playing in next season.

Reasonable chance that there will be more rotation next week and then full strength again for Europe which will be viewed as the equivalent of the quarter final in Japan.

That team is class. If any of the Connacht lads have Ireland aspirations then its put up or shut up this weekend.

Can't wait for it.

Nah, they're not.

They're going to raise their intensity by 20% just by looking at that line up. This is going to be an absolute dogfight of a match.
