    Don't forget Dunne's also another top prospect at lock, Charlie Ryan will be pushing through shortly as well.

    Dev now only 23 appearances away from being Leinsters all time record cap holder. So sometime next season hopefully he'll hit that.

    Harry Byrne in and Frawley not is eye-opening.

    Has Frawley not been injured?

    It’s the squad for Europe and Frawley is back.

    The fact Byrne was picked ahead of him has to say something.

    Did you read the explanation on players that can be swapped? It easily could be a case that they’ve named Byrne because he’s fit and are seeing how Frawley reacts to playing time before possibly swapping him in.

    I can see why it makes sense to name Conan for example and then swap him out because he's a key player, but Frawley?

    But the situation is different for those 2?

    Conan has been named and will be swapped out but can be swapped back in at any time before March.

    Frawley hasn't been named but likely will be swapped in for one of the 3 who were named who are long term injured?

    Yep you can for the vast majority of games, the ticket office is via the main vehicle entrance on Anglesea Road.

    will be interesting also to see if Baird progresses up the pecking order this year, something has to give though with the number of locks at Leinster, I think Moloneys days might be numbered

    I'm not a fan of Maloney but getting rid of I'm now wouldn't make much sense. We've actually suffered his weaker years and he's now a bit bigger and better able for the pace/making less errors.

    Not that he is anything close to the calibre of toner or will he reach his heights but it's similar in that we have put the time in now so might as well reap the rewards.

    A good rabo player and a good club man who we need for weeks when ryan is out and in time probably baird or one of the others

    Is Harry Byrne the brother of Ross Byrne? One could be forgiven for thinking that Ross Byrne is playing

    How is that no advantage for a 20 metre plus gain?

    Great try.

    Excellent skills from Penny to pass back inside.

    Pretty poor play to allow Dragons a scrum in our 22.

    Leinster have been very poor this evening. O'Brien should've jumped on that ball after it squirted out.

    Very young team, but our discipline hasn't been great and some of the organisation and decision making is dubious.

    Lovely set piece try.

    Wrap around with 9 as the recipient, good hard carries from COB, Baird and Lowe.

    Harry Byrne plays far closer to the line than Ross and looks to have more pace too, although Ross’ passing is much better. Liking the look of Harry so far though!

    Nice assist from the ref for his try too!

    It's lashing down now. Set piece and forward grind will win this.

    Edit: Bonus point try scored off the back of a mail.
