Would be a pretty big change in playing style I’d have thought. Nice though to have the two playmakers option.
Sam, Jack, Osborne would be a very classy 10,12,13
A huge weakness of Leinster over the last few years has been an inability to clear their lines and take the pressure off.
Munster too are struggling at it.
If you go Gibson park, Prendergast, aki /or Henshaw and Keenan it’ll be a problem for Ireland too. A complete lack of kicking in the side.
I’d say Osborne will start at 15 because of this.
It would be interesting to see Crowley at 12 as well.
I fear Ireland will try and copy this South African style Leinster are adapting. IMO they’d be better off with an Aussie or New Zealand type game with their own strengths mixed in.

Good point re kicking
On occasion Gibson Park makes a lovely clearance. He gets under the ball and gets height which allows the line to chase and stops quick throws. Doesn’t do it enough though.
Good man, another bad weekend for Munster and the La Rochelle fake “fans” so let’s find any negative we can about Leinster and focus on that.
They can’t go a day without unleashing their toxicity.

Good always wins out over evil.
It was Leinster fans abusing poor Ross Byrne.
The guilt is dripping off that post.

Great to see new IRFU performance director David Humphries emphasising that they will continue to back Leinster and its success in developing Irish players.
Shrewd - as any businessman knows you don’t starve your prized asset to reward mediocrity
Irish Rugby is lucky it has Leinster. Without them, they’d be no better than Wales or Scotland.

Like Dublin in the football in Leinster?
For the GAA interprovincials?
