Thanks to all the staff Univ Hosp Waterford especially Pine Ward and Med 7 whom over the course of 3 weeks took a man with the dodgiest of tickers and made him well enough to leave. Legends (and Leinster fans) to the last. And god help the next immigrant basher who starts.

Maybe we could just build more houses, remove the ability of NIMBYs to block development and build some more houses? It’ll probably be easier than getting an exemption from the Single Market.

This ex post justification for NIQ signings by Leinster is tactically masterful but emotionally challenging. Point made, can we start playing now? LioVLei

James Ryan and I are both going to be fit and raring to go for this one. I feel it in my waters. He’ll sell the last few thousand tickets himself. #SeaOfBlue *Definitions of fitness are different for players and fans

For the avoidance of doubt, the LR admins are on central contracts and not available for other provinces for transfers or sabbaticals.

@gortoshay1 I hear they are demanding nominations for European POTY be shared across the provinces too.

The aim is to have the same percentage of these nominations as Central Contracts. #SeaOfBlue #Leinster It’s JGP, Lowe, Dan and Doris in that order btw.

Obviously great news for Munster but having two NIQ centres at the province will surely infuriate the same fans who have been burning down Irish twitter since the Barrett to Leinster announcement on Monday evening. Is it a good idea for the IRFU to sign this off? #JustSayNoDavid

Thank you David Nucifora for rewarding provinces that are well ran and have provided players to our most successful international men’s side. Frivolous spending on poorly sourced imports could easily have lead to any team having to release or worse sign Burns

When is big Joe being out on a central contract - Scott wants to come over for a few months too! #grassroots #seaofblue #jordie #bandofbros #leinster

Right, lads, admit which one of ye did this! #grassroots #Jordie #Leinster #seaofblue

Where is that guy who said Leinster’s need to be liked was our biggest failing?

In the interest of fairness, Connacht and Ulster should both be allowed pick up a Barrett brother on a short term deal next year. Leinster should help finance this from our Central Contract savings.

Has Munster rugby (and it’s fans) considered just being better at producing talent? That way, you too can have all the starting Irish players, central contracts and the seemingly infinite money cheat that allows for Jordie to be given the literal county of Meath as payment!

Hearing rumours that Henshaw swung Jordie’s decision to come over by throwing in some of his Westmeath minor gear from back in the day.

Jordie always dreamed of playing for Leinster from his time kicking a ball on the GAA fields of Meath. #grassroots #seaofblue #leinster
