Debbie Carty welcome PRESIDENT, LEINSTER RUGBY 2022/23 On behalf of Leinster Rugby, I would like to welcome you all to the RDS Arena for this afternoon’s match against Cardiff in round thirteen of this season’s BKT United Rugby Championship. In particular, I wish to extend a warm welcome to Dublin to our Welsh visitors, to Alun Jones their Chairman, to the squad, their Head Coach Steve Law and their management team and hope you are enjoying your visit here for the URC competition. Leinster have won their last twelve matches in the URC and their last four matches in the Heineken Champions Cup against Racing 92 and Gloucester, I would like to congratulate the Leinster squad captained by Garry Ringrose over the last while, on their EPCR and URC wins to date. Leinster are leading in the URC, and will be confident heading into tonight’s match but the loss last year over in Cardiff will no doubt be still fresh in the minds of these players. We also expect Cardiff to be confident after having won three rounds in the Challenge Cup and seven of their matches in the URC. We expect tonight to be a challenging and physical match as it always is against the team in the light blue jerseys. On the domestic front, it’s going to be a busy few weeks ahead as we get into the business end of the leagues and I would like to congratulate North Meath on winning Leinster League Division 3 last Sunday, and I would personally like to thank their minis girls who presented me with a bunch of flowers. I was delighted with the girls and the flowers! The draws for the Band of Ireland Provincial Towns Cup and the Metro Cup have both been drawn with some interesting games and local derbies coming from it. The Towns Cup will be starting on the 12th February, with the start of the Metro Cup still to be confirmed at the time of writing. I would advise you all to get down to your local club for what will be some cracking games of rugby. On the interprovincials side, the women’s competition has finished, with Leinster winning two of their three matches but unfortunately, they lost against Munster who went on to win the series. I’m sure the team under the steerage of Tania Rosser will have learned from their three games and it will all stand to them going forward. With so many positive performances and debuts, it’s a great foundation for this coaching group and squad of players. The Seán O’Brien Hall of Fame Awards and lunch hasn’t been on for the last few years because of Covid but I am delighted to say that it was back this year at a sold out Bective Rangers RFC. I look forward to attending a great lunch where we will celebrate Junior Rugby in our province and I look forward also to meeting the nominees that are up for the award. I would like to sincerely thank Bective Rangers for giving us their function room for the day. I would like to welcome to the RDS this evening the mini rugby teams who will play at half time in the Bank of Ireland Mini Games. To the players from Arklow, Boyne, Mullingar and Seapoint, your coaches and parents, I know you will all enjoy the occasion. I would ask all supporters to show your appreciation and cheer on these young stars of the future. To our title sponsor Bank of Ireland, great patrons of both our professional and domestic games, who along with all our premium partners and suppliers, who do so much to support Leinster Rugby, I offer my sincere thanks. Finally, to you the fans, our Season Ticket Holders, members of the Official Leinster Supporters Club and friends of Leinster, I thank you for the contribution you make on match days. I am sure this evening will be no different as you get the roar going and the flags waving to cheer on “the boys in blue” to another victory. Let us hope for an energetic, exciting and injury free match this evening. Debbie Carty Leinster Rugby President 2022/23 4 | www.leinsterrugby.ie
