The Roman numeral for 8 is VIII. You could use the Irish for 8 which is JH.

Following on from YRs idea of the play on the 8:

The Barbarian vs The Wolverine

Deegan and the Saviours

Anyone who remembers Rugby08 might get this one:

Not surprised by either. Lancaster basically said as much for Lowe and said Ringrose would be back in the next week or two. Meaning two.

Or Christmas themed - Lowe Actually.

With rumours of Tracy and Byrne starting and McGrath on the bench for Ireland it doesn't look like a huge amount of the players will be coming back...!

It seems like we can only hope for Bent, Murphy, one of Conan or Ruddock and Dave.

Byrne, Cronin, Bent, Fardy, Molony, Conan, Murphy, Deegan, JGP, Byrne, McFadden, Reid, O'Loughlin, Daly, D.Kearney

Porter, Byrne, Heffernan, Nagle/Doris,Timmins, McCarthy, Marsh, Larmour

There could easily be other injuries I'm forgetting

I certainly can't see us getting Ruddock back anyway. And either Conan or Murphy are likely to be the extra back row. I'd also bet that Dave will stay with the squad as well. The other problem is that anyone we do get back won't have trained at Leinster for weeks. Not sure on the status of Nagle, Leavy or Daly either. Our back row stocks will probably be tested severely.

Should I be honoured that my nonsensical reference from The Office was the last post in the old thread?

No comparison whatsoever. At least Luke Skywalker managed to figure out who his dad was.

Adding the Leinster thread mascot back to this new thread. Can't believe he was omitted from the opening post.

That's really where he's needed at the moment I suppose with Rob, Dave, Carbery, Byrne, Daly and Lowe unavailable. Would have thought they'd put him at FB and Larmour on the wing though.

Glad to see Deegan getting the start even with Conan released. Team should be good enough to get a win but I certainly wouldn't be counting on a BP for this one.

Dragons team:

15 Angus O’Brien, 14 Jared Rosser, 13 Adam Warren, 12 Jack Dixon, 11 Ashton Hewitt, 10 Gavin Henson, 9 Sarel Pretorius; 1 Sam Hobbs, 2 Ellis Shipp, 3 Lloyd Fairbrother, 4 Joe Davies, 5 Matthew Screech, 6 Aaron Wainwright, 7 Ollie Griffiths ©, 8 James Benjamin.

Replacements; Gerard Ellis, Luke Garrett, Brok Harris, Rynard Landman, Ben Roach, Dan Babos, Arwel Robson, Connor Edwards.

Not a bad team considering so many away with Ireland.
Good to see Isa back. A decent bit of impact from the bench
