Leinster Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread XI (The Finals Countdown)

Anyone who says Adidas can't make a nice jersey, or just pick club jerseys from a template is wrong. The problem clearly lies with someone in Leinster because this Quins jersey is gorgeous, and I would buy it were it not for DHL.

I prefer the Leinster jersey :pac:

That Quinns jersey is horrible. Again, take a really simple, perfect concept and destroy it by over designing.

I think theres an element of broken clock to this. Just because some of what they make is crap doesn't mean it all is. And similarly, just because some of their stuff is nice doesn't mean it would all be. Like musicians, sometimes they'll design a winner (write a hit song) and sometimes they'll design a loser (follow up a hit song with a crap one).

To point the finger at someone in Leinster over an entirely subjective topic is disingenuous.

Personally I like the new European Jersey and I really liked the Navy one last season. Also last seasons black training jersey was the pick of the bunch for me. It was lovely

Personally I think that Quins jersey is horrible and reminds me of the wallpaper in my Grannys house.

What irks me about the Adidas stuff is the fit isn't that good and the iron on logos are of poor quality

You can chose to like or dislike the designs Jerseys that Adidas puts out for Leinster. That's up to you. However the accusations that went around here that Adidas are just going through the motions and don't have a design team for Leinster are what I'm pointing out are wrong.

If your gran has that wall paper fair play to her.

For the record I like both the Leinster and Quins jerseys...

Don't have a problem with the jersey design, some will like it some won't in other news water is wet, it's the quality of the materials used that annoys me.

My point still stands. Presumably you thought this was directed at you - it wasn't.

People assuming that a "finger of blame" should be pointed at some in Leinster is not a fair stance to take on someone doing their job and signing off on a product that some people like and some people dislike - like literally everything that is produced for the masses.

On the second point. She did. She's dead :pac:

The year will be 2099 and people will still be making blood jokes about Quins

I'd say the period will be longer than that.

Rightfully so

Its 10 years. I think we can all move on now.

DonVito

Where's the fun in that?

Don't mention the war.

If Leinster lost then maybe, but we won and won the Heineken cup that year

So why would it be a war?

It’s stupid to even mention....

One of the most important matches and victories in the team's history and they tried to cheat us out of it. I've no problem at all with giving them stick for it.

The people who did it aren't at the club any more though, I'd have a problem with Richards more so than Quins

Good article about Eoin O’Malley here. Reading that my appreciation of Joe goes up a little more, if that’s possible. O’Malley was such a loss to Leinster, have to wonder would he have been in the shake up for Ireland if he was still playing.

Even BOD admits the O'Malley had him running scared at times with his form playing with Joe

He was such a classy player, used to love watching him. Such a shame for him but glad he has made a good career outside rugby

I don't think he would be around for this WC....but in 2015 if he was playing he could of had a huge impact

Never got to see that Fitz O'Malley axis in midfield, could have been something.

yep, that’s life. Tom Williams will really be remembered for one thing and it ain’t his rugby skills. That’s the facts and the sadness of the situation.

He's only just turned 31 so he'd still be around, but realistically he'd be behind Ringrose for both province and country, equally would he have kept Payne out of the national side when BOD shuffled off? Probably not imo.

Very hard to tell really, but I think Ringrose would not have advanced as quickly with Leinster or Ireland had O’Malley not gotten injured. It was clear Joe rated him quite highly but BOD was in his way. Impossible to tell how he’d have developed as he was only 25 at the time of the injury and would have been first choice when BOD retired.

In 2015 Payne had an injury and we never really found someone to replace him


He might of had a uge impact then, this time around I doubt it with the current options

Henshaw probably doesn't come to Leinster if he stayed
