Don’t know. But I reckon he’s still a rubbish lock!

Not confident. Looking forward to the atmosphere though. Not too many games like this in the RDS these days.

Very odd that they've selected Ramos at 10 ahead of Holmes or even Ntamack. Ramos is a full back; he started the last couple of T14 games at 10 for them but, aside from those and one or two games in previous seasons, he has never played outhalf.

yeah i was reading the list above and assumed they had somehow mixed up the huget, ntamack, ramos axis.

hes their top try scorer this season i think, and thats a huge risk to take him out of the back three

edit: not top try scorer, but top points scorer due to his boot.

the only thing is we would have been training expecting him to play 10.... as Lancaster predicted here 4 days ago.

Your youngest child should cover it...:cool:

I've done well out of boards before ticket wise.

We have a spare one going, one of our group can't make it. If you're a season ticket holder, I think he can send it over to your account.

South stand.

Do you not need a season ticket account to open them for the mobile pass?

No, the recipient just prints the tickets.

Oh right, didn't know that.

Do people actually think we can win tomorrow with this team? Doesn’t look the strongest tbh, I could see Toulouse winning this one by the scruff of the neck

To be fair, this is what most teams in Europe are like.

Leinster fans are sort of spoiled by being used to a 23 made up entirely of top test level players.

Stout Warrior · 11-01-2019 8:14pm

Expecting big games from Byrne and Kearney tomorrow. They have the most to prove of all the Leinster players

troyzer · 11-01-2019 8:41pm

Does anyone know a good rugby pub in Paris? My girlfriend is over there with her Mam and they want to watch it.

Leinster's pack is still very good. The problem is the replacements. Injuries mean our bench just isn't as strong as normal. We won't get the boost that substitutions have given us in recent games.

I'm excited to be going to the RDS for a match that isn't a forgone conclusion tbh

Really nervous that this could be the end of our campaign

Time too see if our policy of blooding youngsters will beat fruit.

Putting 50 points up on poor Welsh opposition is all well and good, now let's see what they can do against a powerful and flairful French team.

Allez les bleus. !!!!!

I've been to O'Sullivans Rebel Bar which is close to châtelet metro station several times. Right at the heart of Paris' city center and great buzz.

Mate and his gf have bailed on this. Two tickets for the South stand going free, unreserved obviously. First come first served, pm me your email address. Only stipulation is that you've posted in the rugby forum before today.

[edit] These have been taken. You people are quick off the mark today.

Really looking forward to seeing Dupont again.
Plays heads up rugby & backs himself. Already has a nice highlights reel against Irish teams.
