Leinsters anti rugby is going to a new level playing four centres and no wingers.
Oooft
The first and foremost of these is retaining key leaders within the organisation for extended periods of time. Leinster have had only two CEOs in 25 years and Leo Cullen, who has wisely been recontracted for another two seasons, has led a rugby programme since 2015 that is the envy of clubs across the globe.
Compare that to Munster, where the number of former head coaches since 2016 reads as long as a list of Elizabeth Taylor’s former husbands.
So Jordie Barrett is allowed to start in big games and no skullduggery needed to get him into the team.
And Tommy O’Brien hasn’t suddenly reappeared.
I doubt we’ll see a back-track on here though …
Sure what would he know when compared to some random Munster supporter on twitter - he only ran one of those school rugby programmes for years!
He nearly choked on a heap of blood capsules I heard. Snyman will bust him hard way the next time.
The Leinster lads are seething all their cheating is being talked about publicly.
They are the Man City of rugby.
Cheating in every and anyway possible to try and win.
The @rugbyinunion account doesn’t quote any figures in the few tweets I looked at there
He makes the point that Blackrock have a bigger rugby budget than some of the URC franchises. It’s not an outlandish claim but it’s probably unlikely.
A lot of actual Irish players playing you see.
It’s a school with 2,000 kids. It’s hardly a surprise that a lot of money goes on sport. The “budget” is something made up and now passed along as gospel.
€2m on sport wouldn’t surprise me at all given they have two swimming pools (one is closed), extensive grounds and hours and hours of kids time to fund.
It works out about €1k a pupil.
€2m on rugby is highly unlikely. Seven figures possible.
1-0 Argentina
They’ve started like a bath out of hell
Blood bath
Tee hee!
Some start from Bath here.
Leinster will win this
I wonder could a few more fireworks help the Leinstertainmemt?
Dropped that forward there?
