The Official Irish Rugby Thread

[nelly sham]

Leinster have “paused” training.
Montpellier, who they play next, have 4 confirmed cases in their squad/staff. It’s what you expect after going to Exeter with their anti vaccination nonsense.

That's ridiculous

That's ridiculous

Completely fucking ridiculous, but the EPCR is there so that ENGLISH or FRENCH, and NOT the Paddies, can be European champions. Munster already showed that we can't be trusted to lose games we're supposed to, so there was no choice but to avoid the match completely.

Leinster are set to appeal for their cancelled Montpellier game to be rescheduled.

Henderson took a nasty looking injury in that game. Got caught in a crocodile roll at a ruck and went over his knee. His face afterwards summed it up, like he knew something was gone. Limped off on his own.




That decision to hit Leinster hard is nonsense, I’d imagine they’ll be successful on the appeal.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

That's ridiculous

Leinster should win an appeal.

Bullshit decision

 

[How bad boy]

Leinster should win an appeal.

Bullshit decision

Completely.

But they'll say it's due to risk levels and chances of a positive covid test. Which is horseshit based on their testing
