Edit: It’s gone, thanks guys.

Hi folks,

Not sure if this is allowed but I have a ticket in BLK section tonight if anyone is interested as I can’t go any longer. DM if interested, first come first served.

I was slow on the uptake and would love to make it to this, the Lions started playing some really great rugby last season.

Two solid games in a row there for him. With fours lads ahead of him and Casper Gabriel coming behind is 12 his future?

Jinxed?

I live 20-30 mins away from Edinburgh so want to grab tickets for the game. Before I did, I was wondering if there was any section / set of tickets being allocated to away fans? Ideally would prefer to sit next to a few Leinster fans as I'm going on my own

As the title says - anyone know if it's on anywhere? TIA

Go gifted this jersey recently but I need help identifying most of the signatures

If you were Ross Byrne, surely your reading the chatrooms, comment sections, and media's view on you. The lad could easily sail away to a Top 14 club or Japan, earn serious money and put all this behind him.

Notice today the men's home jersey was priced down significantly. Doesn't that usually mean a new jersey? If so, why? They had that jersey for just one year. Tigers do this in England. It's becoming like football now.

A two year contract is surprising but also welcoming. Suggests there's a recognition that Tom Clarkson is sadly not going to be Furlong's replacement long term replacement, with hope that one of McGuire or the schools prospects could be

Bought my little cousin a programme on Saturday (MASSIVE Leinster fan and been to all the home games) but it got wet and it's now all stuck and a bit torn! If anyone has one they'd be willing to sell I'd hugely appreciate it 🤞

Maybe I'm in the minority but I hope very few of Leinster's players get picked to go on the tour to South Africa with Ireland.

With a new attack coach incoming we need a real pre-season for once and their absence might just highlight their importance to the loud mouthed detractors.

At a minimum Porter, Sheehan, Furlong, Ryan, Van der Flier, Doris, JGP, Henshaw, Ringrose and Lowe should be left at home to sort themselves out for next season.

Have one spare ticket for today - one of the lads pulled out last minute! Block 115, willing to accept offers

I have a spare ticket for tomorrow if anyone would like it as unfortunately I can't go now because of a work commitment. Block 525 (near halfway line), Row 13.

Cost me £90 but happy to accept £45. Will show confirmation email to anyone showing genuine interest and will send downloaded ticket via email on receipt of money.

Hi, any idea where Leinster fans will gather before the game? I’m traveling early morning and would be nice to know if there is some sort of fan zone. Football fan here, 1st time going to a rugby match so just trying to under if the “dynamics” are the same… 😀

Hi folks, anyone know where I might be able to catch the game in Tokyo?? Thanks!

Two spare tickets BLK502 for sale. £80 each.

The first is solved by a signing/developing a test-quality scrummaging tighthead to back up Furlong.

The second problem is under-acknowledged due to Leinster having huge crowds and scoring 5 tries a game (tries always generate noise). However, what teams need is noise when they are down and the season is on a knife edge. Croke Park fell very silent at key moments, just as the game could have surrendered to Northampton. The moment the opponent has a purple patch, Leinster fans go quiet, because they are no longer being entertained. Hence, they struggle to close out big games against real teams.

The main reasons for this are: (1) The fans are spoilt after years of crushing underpowered URC teams in the D4tress. (2) The demographics of the supporters are unusual —the biggest games are attended a precious bunch looking to be part of a South Dublin social occasion, rather than support their team through the brutality of knockout rugby. Many times, I have experienced Leinster "fans" telling other Leinster fans to stop shouting so loudly. (3) All of the singing culture (Molly Malone, Come on Ye Boys in Blue...) died during COVID. And we are now left with the rump of the repertoire, the torrid "Leinster Leinster...", which cannot be maintained for any longer than 30 seconds.

The solutions are: (1) A dedicated singing section in the crowd which generates atmosphere via a wide repertoire of songs during the low moments, not just the tries (2) Public messaging via the stadium announcer which educates the D4 huns on how/when they need to contribute as the 16th man
