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

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

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?

I can buy tickets on that door for this right?

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

Atmosphere a bit flat so far.

Nugent falling over himself to excuse JBP’s poor kick on the full.

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

Try scoring machine.

Went forward?

Edit: nope, just caught us napping unfortunately

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.

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!

Another fine example of incompetent referring.
