In the day that's in it.. might as well start off the new seasons Leinster thread with their new jerseys....
Home & Away....
Alternate (training..??)
I quite like the home and away, they way they included the Leinster Crest, got rid of the ridiculous blue magic go faster stripes...
Not sure about the 2 stars... but they deserve them..... especially the second 1...
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
No more unicorn sp**k. Result. The away looks decent alright - I still prefer the first bank of ireland one or the last back of scotland one but them's the rubs.
Some in and outs for the season........
IN: Seán Cronin (Connacht), OUT: Stewart Maguire (Connacht),
Jamie Hagan (Connacht), Stan Wright (Stade
Franįais),
Damien
Browne (Brive), Nathan Hines (Clermont),
Steven Sykes (Sharks), Paul ODonohoe (Connacht),
Matt Berquist (Crusaders), Michael

Must be a bad news day. Someone tell me this is a wind up please! No shocking pink!
Beats the unicorn sp**k hands down. I actually quite like it. Will need to try one on to see if it suits my ample, porky frame though.
Ireland by birth, Leinster by the power of Greyskull.
How this signing turns out will be crucial to our chances this year. I haven't seen much of him but he comes with a decent reputation, if he can bring the same power and workrate that Hines did then we're laughing.Originally Posted by i_like_cake
Cronin will give us depth at hooker but I can't see him starting the big games for Leinster, Strauss was the best hooker in the country last year and offers just as much as Cronin in the loose. I hope Cronin can push ahead of him as he's Irish but it'll be a hell of an ask.
Berquist is a decent player from the few games I've seen, losing Sexton to injury won't be as much of a disaster as it would have been the last two seasons.
Hagan should see a good lot of game time and working with Feek should do him the world of good. Would be brilliant if can become an Ireland option.
Browne and Carr are squad players, will do a job in some ML matches.
yeah, the way Conway is playing its going to be hard for Carr to get onto the ML team!
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
I still think its a really poor decision on Fionn Carrs part to go back to Leinster. Also how many big matches is Jamie Hagan going to start? They both would have been a lot better off staying with Connacht and getting regular Heineken cup matches.
Also, those jerseys would be twice as nice without the Harp going across the stomach of them. I'd feel a right tit wearing one of them to the pub to be honest
Superintendent Chalmers: Thank the Lord? That sounded like a prayer. A prayer in a public school. God has no place within these walls, just like facts dont have a place within an organized religion
Hagan's going to do well under Greg Feek and with Ross gone for the world cup he'll get game time. Everyone was brought into rotation last year including Clint Newlands who I really wanted to see punch someone. Hines is a huge loss - browne's a big feckin yoke though...
peter borlase came to munster with a "decent reputation"
whats wrong with it now genius
Not sure about the lines on the jerseys, a bit too much going on there for my liking
Away one especially looks cat with the logo buried inside the shorts. Something weird going on there I reckon - or it could be the copious amounts of beer I've had tonight.....
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat
Did anyone notice how tall BOD has become?
"Theyre the benchmark that everyone else has to raise their game to meet." Alan Quinlan on Leinster
I have only seen Matt Berquist play a few times he reminds me alot of Shaun Berne he has good hands and gets the back line moving but his kicking is a bit scuttery
Haven't bought a Leinster jersey since 2008, and the trend will continue. Really don't want to go a game with my father wearing that thing. Maybe I am beginning to sound like him too much - what's wrong with a blue jersey with a collar and some neat yellow/gold touches.....eg, last season's Heineken Cup edition? This will sound ridiculous, but Leinster looked like a brilliant/professional club team in the H-Cup strip, but like an American baseball franchise in the ML gear.
That yellow one is like a bad Liverpool jersey with COLLYMORE 8 on the back from the 90's.
Happy witht eh squad, but would have liked to see Niall Morris stay. Fionn Carr is still pretty young and he's an established ML player, whereas Morris was still "an exciting prospect." Hines is the big loss. We managed all of last season without Stan, the legend, but I wonder how good our season would have been had Hines been out for as long
Unless its is on a match day there is no need to wear a
rugby jersey to the pub or anywhere else for that matter.
Leinster sign another tight head prop...... Nathan white from The Waikato Chiefs....
Ross, Hagan, Newland and now White.....
WIll Ross and Hagan go to the world cup...?
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
Hagan can play both sides as well can't he? Given how Court's form dropped off, could be Hagan as bench cover at RWC.
isn't Newland gone home?
\"In a world gone mad, only a lunatic is truly insane\"
Unlikely Hagan will go but it gives us cover at TH during the RWC. Were one to get injured early in the season we'd be seriously screwed.
yep

Gone since before the end of last season, was only signed as short term cover.
yep

Ross, Hagan, Shawe and White cover TH
Healy, VDM and McGrath cover LH.

I look back on 2008 at the Millennium Stadium as the highlight of my career because, although being capped by New Zealand and playing for the All Blacks was fantastic, this was special. - Doug Howlett
Mcgrath has played TH as well. Came on in place of Hagan last night and tightened up the scrum, albeit, Hagan seemed to be having some trouble with an eye injury throughout.
He's huge for his age, could well be one to watch for the future..
Fixed that for you.

Out for 4 months with a fractured patella. Bad luck Matt - get well soon.
Being upbeat, it's a good opportunity for Madigan to get a decent run and show his talent.
