[@foxliam10]

This might sound crazy but leinster is underperforming like yes they are unbeaten but they have a squad better than most international teams youd expect to see them crushing teams not just comfortably winning

[@Camcolito]

SA win games by a point or two and they do ok.

[@redmondo42]

Prendergast looking good to retain his place vs England

Great stuff lads, love the podcasts.

get Madigan back. He changes the whole dynamic.

Regarding Porter, totally correct, he is a savage and shouldn’t be flogged like a donkey. Our prop depth is a concern and we need to sort!

Jack should go to France and make himself a big pile of cash ... he's been so hard done by these showers at the IRFU its sad.

[@ciaranbrk]

Which jack Conan or Crowley ?

[@fionnmckool]

So , jack should go to france, fup munster for what. Cause he is entitled to the 10 jersey. Very munster attitude, it's our ball and we are going home. Munster management want irfu to give them equality without managing themselves

[@DAGATHire]

Bloody WUM comment. Sad baiting crap

[@amantedellopera1681]

How has he been hard done by? His form lately is not great,sam offers a different style,a great attacking 10,we need both of them,but jack has not been hard done by,he is at the moment the better 10,but that could change

[@gijack1279]

irish independent lol, it’s Leinster independent

[@deirdreryan5674]

Lads, this is like two Leinster guys talking about Leinster in the pub. The title is totally misleading and there are other provinces.

[@ciaranbrk]

And the other provinces are practically all out of the champions cup. There is only one that matters this year I’m sorry but there it is. The other provinces need to step it up.

[@volleyunit]

Felt Ahern comprehensively outplayed Baird in a team going backwards. Aherns potential is greater in my opinion

[@eoinh3816]

By doing what? Hiding out in the wing with a malfunctioning lineout while Leinsters lineout was excellent and Baird was great in the tight? Ahern is too slight for international level, it’s why he hides out on the wing and tries to take on wingers. Ahern would be 7th choice 6th at Leinster, behind Soroka.

[@paulnash5500]

Would you be a Munster supporter 😮

[@volleyunit]

@@eoinh3816so many backrows play that role these days, this is just a comment bereft of knowledge. You see Savea, Kolosi etc on the wing consistently. Hardly slight back rows. He’s tall but nearly 120kg and very dynamic. Anyway let’s see. A lot will be told in 3 months

[@electric69irl]

How did those lineouts and scrums with Ahern involved go for you?

[@patman142]

@@eoinh3816 nonsense, Ahern has more aggression in his left finger than Baird and won't take a backward step. He is only 24 and will put on more bulk

[@grahamshaw3802]

All interpros games should be full strength. Its our product and we are in charge of those games. It shouldnt be a choice of one game or the other every year

[@barryryan14]

Ruadhari talks some bollacks when speaks about Crowley.

[@eddiecarbide]

Unreal… Alternative Facts…

[@happyhabitpodcast]

Leinster have stuttered on multiple occasions this season, yes they are unbeaten but realistically they havent played any top sides in europe yet, based on what Ive seen so far they are unlikely to win that coveted european trophy. Munster by comparison are in dire straits. Theres such an imbalance across the irish provinces is scary. Munster, connacht and ulster are really quite irrelevant given this seasons perfromances and prospects ahead.

[@hankscorpion9939]

Are the other three provinces also at more of a disadvantage now compared to the Scottish teams for example because they are the only ones who have to play Leinster both home and away?

[@jjcasey3191]

Thomas Ahern above Ryan Baird for the future

[@ciaranbrk]

For the future perhaps Baird needs to become a jackal or line out specialist he has wheels but he needs to specialise in something.

[@lizzyhanahoe4197]

I do not think Mack Hansen should get a ban for saying what he said, he’s only just back from a long injury and I really do not think it would serve any benefit to anyone. A fine would be sufficient if something really has to happen. So many fans from all over the place seem to agree with him. Maybe referring in general needs to be looked at? I think it was Cian Prendergast only the week before said to the ref that he was responding to the crowd, that can’t be right.

[@patmc5474]

Connaught are struggling badly,no ides what is goingnon with them.

[@johnmaguire7361]

Has there ever been a player who has had so much smoke blown up him by the media as Ryan Baird?

[@Jereth127]

Sam Prendergast

[@criticaltheoryofsociety7476]

I've noticed that the more blown up a Leinster player coming onto the Ireland squad is, the less deserving of praise they actually are. But, paradoxically, vice versa is also the case - e.g. Dan Leavy and Jamie Osbourne.

[@eoinh3816]

Jack Crowley. Hid behind a dominant Irish pack and centre partnership in the 6n, Frawley came on and won the game for Ireland in South Africa after Crowley was losing it. Then rightfully dropped in the autumn.

[@ciaranbrk]

Yeah his name was Tomas o Leary was as useful as a knitted Willy warmer.

[@CC-dg2mo]

Leave was a savage and part of what Ireland want to be. Fast, intelligent and dynamic players regardless of their position, not one dimensional bosh merchants. Leavy was a true loss - you forget his continuous gain line success and beautiful handling and link ups with Ryan et al…..?

[@nickoneill5773]

Maybe Felix Jones should join National set up to help facilitate rush defence.

[@MrFranKane]

Anthony Foley cup should come with a spice bag and a nod to the man himself. Its gotta be a number 8 on the menu ffs

[@TheDIYTechnician]

Referees are a joke in the modern game. They have plenty support around them and they still get it badly wrong. In most workplaces your fired. Hansen is only saying what a lot of weaker clubs and nations experience on a regular basis.

[@bejaysus7388]

This was painful to listen to. Talking shite about Leinster

[@johnarmstrong8694]

What a lot of "Bollocks" players don't criticize referees especially so publicly as Hansen did. It's just not on. All teams and players feel this emotion at some time in their playing careers but very very few go public with their views. Hansen must be sanctioned accordingly no matter what you two journalists ponder. A wrap over the knuckles is just not good enough. He brought the spirit of Rugby into disrepute for heavens sake.

[@tvpc3194]

hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@eddiecarbide]

Refereeing standard is a huge problem though, has been for years now across the board…
