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

[Deleted User]

We kick off the build up to this weekends most important fixture with the42.ie's recent interview with Bundee Aki:

Bundee: Hi lads, listen - before we start, I just want to confirm I'm not signing for Leinster or speaking with Leinster so if we can stay away from questions like that it would be great.
The42: No problem Bundee, we'll steer well clear.

The42: So Bundee, you've opened your season with a man of the match performance against Scarlets, you must be very pleased with that?
Bundee: Yeah it was a great win to get under our belts, we had a lot of belief going into that matc...
The42: Bundee, sorry to cut across you - we've just received this image, it was taken when you were still meant to be down in the Southern Hemisphere but clearly you were in fact meeting with Leo Cullen at the time - have you any comment?

Bundee: Seriously, guys we had an agreement
The42: That's you isn't it Bundee - there is no denying it.
Bundee: I was invited as a guest to the Leinster awards, that doesn't mean I'm signing for anyone, I'm very happy here with Connacht and I don't think I'd make a first choice Leinster 15 anyway.
The42: That's certainly true but you have to admit the optics on this are terrible?
Bundee: It wasn't a particularly well fitting dress.
The42: Moving on, how has Andy Friend been bedding in since pre season?
Bundee: FRIENNND
The42: What?
Bundee: FRIENNNNNNNNND

:D:D
The42: ?
Bundee: RUGBY FRIENNNNND (Bundee gives two thumbs up)
The42: ..... thanks for your time today Bundee, best of luck with the season

I hope Leinster send a reasonably strong team out wesht. Looks like Ulster are going to be forced into a sub-Ravens XV with all their injuries, it's not a good look for the league or the IRFU if we end up with two damp squibs this weekend.

Leinster have 2 big games the following 2 weekends with a 6 day turnaround, won’t be second string but there will be quite a few changes this weekend. The 2 home matches are far more important though.

No insights, just guesswork. That is a team which to me can hold their own up front and run in tries and be just as incisive as Connacht's back three.

I'd worry about intensity levels given that Connacht always are at full tilt for this fixtures but I wouldn't see a team like the above as being in any way disrespectful and I think after the result at the end of last season Leinster are not going to need much motivation.

We shouldn't be giving out about Muldoon, we should be thanking him - his disrespect has given Leinster all the ammunition they will need going into Saturday.

I don't really fancy Tomane squaring up against Bundee.

Cian Healy has brought Connacht-Leinster-ian relations to an all time low.

He'll be fine, he has been in the setup now a few months and things will start to click for him. Half the battle with Bundee is just getting him down, he's plenty evasive but I'd rather Tomane's bulk and stopping power over Reid's superior positioning and awareness.

Can’t see Ringrose playing 6 games in a row and don’t see him being left out for Munster or the Heineken games. I’d imagine it will be Tomane and ROL, which doesn’t fill me with a heap of confidence, as they aren’t a strong defensive unit yet.

Wegians89

Would really like to see the leagues best center partnership in bundee and Farrell get a run out against a decent level of opposition in henshaw and ringrose. They’ll have a field day against Tomane and ROL

Spot the odd one out :pac:

The kick wasn't even the first time Muldoon was deeply disrespectful, here he is in his younger days kneeling during the anthem:

Heymans

I'm glad to see the Title has "token" in it.

Remember that's all country people are in Leinster.

Kinda like gays and foreigners.

Serious farmer tan on Muldoon

Muldoon shaking hands with, literally, Hitler:

Scarlet for Hitler.

All these comments about Healy, clearly none of you heard Luke on TLW today. Sounds like there's a tasty bit of rivalry developed on the Leinster side to finally match what was there on the Connacht side for ages. Apparently some of the Connacht lads have been less than classy after victories over Leinster.

I suppose when you're not used to something it can be hard to know how to react.... :pac:

Or... some of the Leinster lads are sore losers

Or... Fitzgerald is playing the media game and making up sh1t to create interest and keep himself relevant.

I know which of these I consider more likely. Either way, him suggesting that is being less than classy himself. Which I'm not surprised by at all.

To be fair, I heard that neither side covered themselves gracefully after the game.

Loving the spice involved in this game.

So is disbanding Connacht completely off the table at this stage or what?

Fairly sure this was directed at Bundee.

There was a game in 2016 in the Sportsground. Leinster were camped on the line and Connacht turned over.

They get the ball back to clear and Ferg tries to charge down. Obviously gets nowhere near.

Who is there as he is on the floor but Bundee dragging the jersey off him.

Scummy thing to do. And Luke bringing it up is definitely not on the same level as what Aki did that day.

Great player is Aki. But he let himself down there.

Broadcast only got the first second of it. I was there that day and he was all over him. Stupid
