Sorry if you are upset about my comments Billy Tell but I was staggered by the result hence the initial part of the second sentence was "either something untoward happened". Clearly in this instance it did with some eight international players missing so thank you for coming to my aid in advising the handicap Leinster were operating under. It is hard enough to keep fully informed of team lineups in the Mitre10 Cup where all teams are published on this site let alone searching to find team lineups for overseas competitions hence my ignorance of the handicap Leinster were operating under.

@stargazer think we're more than well enough covered with Hunt and Pryor, throw in Evans as backup, happy days.

and Gareth Evans has moved to the Canes.
@stargazer Evans is shit anyway

Nothing to worry about ... not an exodus post.
Plumtree will join the Japanese national rugby team as defence coach for test matches against Australia and France, and a third match against a World XV. The appointment is all about personal development, with Plumtree keeping his role with the Wellington-based Super Rugby team. "I see my coaching future as being firmly with the Hurricanes, but I jumped at the chance when Japan approached me about the prospect of coaching at international level," Plumtree said in a statement.
