    Surprised Kelleher is so prominent in the minds of the national coaches where iirc he literally hasn't played once for Leinster. I wouldn't have thought they'd spend much time watching Leinster A/AIL but evidently they do

    He came off the bench in Leinster's last game but yeh they must keep an eye on the AIL as well as the 'A' games.

    Could be wrong here but I think he's appeared for Leinster off the bench

    I was in Krystle the other night, got a high-five from Jordi Murphy because we're up to Leinster thread VI while Munster are only on IV.

    True story.

    That moment when you want to roast someone but you've already got a warning on the Rugby thread...

    Sit through a feckin hour of that plank Daire O'Brien and not a single mention of the match on ATH. I understand they had to take some time to pay respects to the sad passing of Bill O'Herlihy but still...you'd think the selection for the match would be a fairly big talking point.

    Does D'arcy's omission here show he's properly out of the reckoning for the World Cup?

    Much bigger talking points considering Munster, Ulster, POC, Connacht and MOC news this week. Not exactly a whole lot of time and Babas game is bottom of that list IMO.

    Respect for Shane Jennings. It's great he gets a send off like this, he deserves it.

    Totally. It's like that moment when you realise that, no matter how obvious the gag, it will go over someone's head.

    It's unfortunate for reasons beyond anyone's control but Thomond Pk may be the worst possible venue for this game. Even the Irish based Barbarians are from Leinster and Ulster!

    Any of the Dublin posters heading down to this? Have Thursday and Friday off and am now finding myself with a little more spare time than previously expected...

    Heading to this but can't say I'm too excited about it to be honest. Pity Connact/Munster players aren't involved, the fixture had a lot more potential when it was annouced. Still, Thursday night rugby in Thomond, should be a laugh

    Yeah heading down to it, got two €35 terrace tickets. Should be worth it to see Jennings & Heaslip battle it out

    I looked at them earlier and thought they were €30 but I doubt I'll head now unless I pick up a freebie.

    €30 for the North and South terraces, €35 for the East and West. I'm in the same boat as yourself. No way I'm paying those prices for a Leinster/Ulster XV v the Barbarians.

    The tickets did go half-price a few times, but I wanted to see the sides before I decided to go. There is no chance that I paying that much for a terrace ticket.

    I think it was only Category A stand tickets that went of offer, though some day last week they offered 20% off all tickets.
