offical leinster supporters club Friday Night Lights is back! Nothing unusual about that we hear you say, except that this is the first time in a long time that regularly scheduled domestic fixtures are intertwined with International action. Given a number of postponements of games before Christmas, this Friday sees us welcome Edinburgh Rugby for a fixture that had been pencilled in for May, but now brought forward. This game is the first in a series of four for us over the next month where we have three games at home, before a trip to Treviso the first weekend in March, all in all a busy time for Leo and Co. Given that the last game here in the RDS against the Montpellier took place under crowd restrictions, we’re delighted these have now been lifted and that the full contingent of the Leinster faithful can attend for what is sure to be a crunch fixture for both sides. Two weeks ago we suffered a last minute defeat away to Cardiff, while the same weekend, our visitors for this evening Edinburgh, also suffered defeat away to Ospreys. Given the interprovincial fixture last weekend between Ulster and Connacht, the result of that game means it a case of 2nd vs 4th for this evening. Both sides will desperately want to get their seasons back on track as if we’re honest, neither would have expected to lose away in Wales two weeks ago. A stern, tough contest would’ve been expected don’t get us wrong, but you would’ve expected to taste success as opposed defeat after the 80 minutes and so Leo, Stuart and all involved will no doubt want to show themselves, and the fans, that this was a blip and that business as usual is expected. Our last outing against Edinburgh was the November 2020 meeting in the RDS, where in front of no fans, we came away victors on a score of 50 – 10. The Player of the Match that evening was Dan Leavy who notched up an impressive performance and set of stats on the field: Points 5 Metres Gained 68 Carries 16 Tackles Made 3 It’s obviously bitterly disappointing that Dan is not in action either domestically or internationally at this time and we, as do all the fans wish him a speedy recovery and can’t wait for him to be back soon. Switching to the focus for this week’s game and as noted above this is simply a game neither side will want to lose as both desperately look to get their seasons back on track. Edinburgh currently sit in second whilst for ourselves, it’s fourth. A number of teams have played 10 games while it’s nine for Edinburgh and eight for Leinster so the win here would give either side a much needed boost given we both also have players away on international duty for the foreseeable future.
