Think Milne should get the bench spot over Byrne. Milne has played very well his last 2 appearances. I'd obviously have Healy over him but think he should be 3rd choice at loosehead. Could bring some serious ballcarrying off the bench if called upon.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑March 20th, 2023, 5:28 pm If Ed Byrne is available, I think we'll play him to start or off the bench with Cian to start We'll need one of them against Ulster and hopefully the following week. Ed has missed so much if he doesn't get in now the SA tour games might be his only rugby before season end.
I'm still hopeful N'gatai will make Ulster game. Personally, I'd like to see Jimmy O'B get a run with Larmour & James Lowe before Ulster game.

No mention of the travelling party yet from the stormers. They’re keeping their cards close to their chest. Maybe tempting us to start the rookies or bluffing as they won’t play their boks at all?

I doubt it. It's such an important game we are going to field the best team we can muster regardless of who they select.
Hopefully the IRFU let us use all but the highest mileage 6n players with the proviso that they won't travel to SA.

interesting that there is no training photos this week.
Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
Looks like the likes of Malherbe, Kitshoff, Orie, Willemse, Libbok have travelled with Stormers anyway.
Really looking forawrd to this game I must say.

Leinster had a short video clip of training yesterday in Donnybrook. Ross Molony was definitely there, didn't spot any of the others but it was only a short clip.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2023, 8:53 am interesting that there is no training photos this week.
Also worth noting that Munster have said they won't have POM or Murray back for their game this weekend.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

Liam Turner was on media duty on Monday, which would indicate he'll be playing:

Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
SO definite maybes Henshaw, Furlong & JOB with an outside chance for Byrne, Conan & Baird. Would be good to get 2 of the former integrated after long absenses

Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
I'll be very surprised if anyone who started on Sat plays on Fri.
If nothing else, they'll have little time to re-integrate. They won't have trained on Mon, they may have trained lightly on Tuesday (probably nursing a hangover), Wed is a day off and Thurs is the captain's run.
Healy, Ross, JOB the most likely.
But in reality it will be a surprise if any of the Ireland 23 play.

Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
Yeah. The hangovers alone could do it. Bench at best for Ireland players

There's zero chance that any of the 23 from Saturday will play this. They were on a 3 day session!

The Stormers are bringing their springboks anyway.
Looks like they’re fielding their strongest possible team.
Re: Leinster vs Stormers, Friday 24/03, 19:35, TG4
Their Springboks have not played since January, so need to get game time ahead of their H Cup R16 game v Harlequins next week in Cape Town.elephantman wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2023, 3:17 pmThe Stormers are bringing their springboks anyway.

Looks like the Stormer are coming fully loaded, but strangely still resigned to only be hopeful for a losing BP.

Planning on taking the little man along. I can't buy a single kids ticket for Grandstand via TicketW@nk€r. Is it possible for me to use my ST for Grandstand and buy a ticket for North Stand and for me to sit with RoboTot in North Stand. I can't see it selling out. You can of course buy a single kids ticket for North Stand
