Leinster Team Talk Thread (Love you Furlong time)

Couldn't watch it via chrome but is working on Safari for me.

A lot for just one game!

Every game has been the same. I thought they would up the price for the final to be honest. A pity Premier don't seem to show the schools games anymore, was always great to catch if you couldn't get there live.

24-24 Replay. Rock 7 pointer, last play.

I’ve no particular interest in schools rugby but poor enough no longer having any matches on tv. Would have thought someone would want to broadcast the final. Doubt it would be a big money spinner but worth showing somewhere

ah I’m sure they made the decision with money in mind but I think sometimes it’s better to make a bit less and get better exposure

We've been relatively unfortunate this year with the fixture list, as we've had some of our toughest games during windows when we've been missing a huge amount of players - we started the season with 2 games in SA followed quickly by Munster (first game back for most of our frontliners) and now this Glasgow game straight after the 6N.

Based on the training photos and brief injury update given, I think we might look something like this:

(15-9,1-8):

Hugo Keenan, Josh Kenny, Rieko Ioane, Robbie Henshaw, Jimmy O'Brien, Sam Prendergast, Luke McGrath, Andrew Porter, Ronan Kelleher, Tom Clarkson, Brian Deeny, RG Snyman, Max Deegan, Scott Penny, James Culhane

Bench: John McKee, Jerry Cahir, Rabah Slimani, Alan Spicer, Alex Soroka, Fintan Gunne, Harry Byrne, Ciaran Frawley

If Keenan isn't good to go then it's probably Frawley at 15, and Ruben Moloney onto the bench.

If Porter isn't good to go then Cahir to LHP and Usanov onto the bench.

Will throw my hat in with,

1. Cahir 2. Mckee 3. Clarkson 4. Deeny 5. Spicer 6. Soroka 7. Penny 8. Deegan 9. Mcgrath 10. Byrne 11. Moloney 12. Tector 13. Ioane 14. Kenny 15. JOB

16. Kelleher 17. Usanov 18. Slim 19. RG 20. Connors/Culhane 21. Gunne 22. Prendergast 23. Henshaw

Obviously doesn't usually work out like this but bringing on Kelleher, Slim, RG, Prendergast, Henshaw together at 50 could change the game if needed.

I also have no idea who is likely to play with recent injury returns and Irish players back in so the above is complete guess work.

Don't believe so, haven't seen it reported.

A lot will hinge obviously on whether or not Keenan & Porter are deemed good to go, but I think the guys who came back from the Irish camp (Kelleher, Clarkson, JOB and Frawley) are all likely to be involved, alongside Sam/Harry at 10.

This afternoon's news means the bench definitely won't be as I predicted it, so could see Conor O'Tighearnaigh potentially come in there as I think Diarmuid Mangan is still injured.

Great team and FtD on the button. Very happy to see Culhane get a start he deserves a break now. Sam back at 10 is good news and the break will have done him good. Luke is a Leinster legend at this point 2 caps from 250 is a glorious achievement. Hopefully they can take the win and get a new burst of momentum as it’s a key few weeks ahead now leading to knockouts in Europe

Not half as strong as I thought Glasgow may go. Opportunity to get a win tomorrow.

Really happy to see Conan and Kelleher named to bring some leadership in the pack.
