Kick-off: 7:35 pm, Friday, 31st May 2024

Venue: RDS Arena, Dublin

Match Preview

Leinster will welcome Connacht to the RDS Arena for their second interprovincial clash of the season and the final round of the 2023/24 United Rugby Championship (URC). Kick-off is scheduled for 7:35 pm on Friday. After a heartbreaking extra-time loss in the Champions Cup last weekend, Leinster faces a quick turnaround for this game.

Leinster’s Recent Form and Team News

Leinster are coming off a grueling Champions Cup match that extended into extra time, resulting in a tough loss.

Jamie Osborne and Ciarán Frawley, who starred in the Champions Cup Final, start in the center. Sam Prendergast and Cormac Foley form a new half-back pairing.

Dramatic Drift of City of Troy in the 2024 Derby Market

The Dramatic Drift of City of Troy: A Pivotal Moment in the 2024 Derby Market

Aidan O’Brien’s prized colt, City of Troy, has recently experienced a significant drift in betting odds, creating a stir among racing enthusiasts and bettors alike. Once a formidable favorite, City of Troy has seen his odds lengthen from 3.2 to 4.5 on the Betfair Exchange in just a few hours. This sudden shift has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about his prospects in the upcoming 2024 Derby.

City of Troy’s Disappointing Performance in the 2000 Guineas

City of Troy’s performance in the 2000 Guineas was nothing short of disappointing. Despite being the race favorite and the top two-year-old of 2023, he finished at the tail end of the field. Aidan O’Brien, the esteemed Ballydoyle trainer, later acknowledged his role in the colt’s downfall, admitting that he might have placed undue pressure on City of Troy, treating him “like too much of a God” in the lead-up to Newmarket. This candid admission has only fueled doubts about the colt’s ability to maintain his form as a three-year-old.

Los Angeles: The Potential New Derby Favorite

The uncertainty surrounding City of Troy’s future has opened the door for his stablemate, Los Angeles, to potentially become the new Derby favorite. Should City of Troy’s drift continue, Los Angeles could assume the top spot before the race kicks off next Saturday. The shift in sentiment is not entirely surprising, given the skepticism about how well the progeny of Justify, City of Troy’s sire, can progress at three years old. The colt’s shattered confidence and underwhelming recent performance have further prompted punters to reconsider their bets.

Market Predictions: Coral’s Insight

Coral, a prominent bookmaker, has observed the market dynamics closely. They predict that City of Troy, who has long been at the forefront of the Derby market, could soon be overtaken if punters continue to place their bets on the colt’s key rivals. The current trend indicates a potential reshuffling of favorites, adding an intriguing layer of uncertainty to this year’s Derby.

Conclusion: The Unpredictable Nature of Horse Racing

In the high-stakes world of horse racing, where fortunes can change in the blink of an eye, the drift of City of Troy serves as a reminder of the sport’s unpredictable nature. As the Derby approaches, all eyes will be on the betting boards, watching to see if City of Troy can regain his footing or if a new favorite will emerge to claim the spotlight.

Stay updated on the latest 2024 Derby news and betting odds shifts, and follow the thrilling journey of City of Troy and his contenders as the race day draws near.

Aidan Morgan to Join Ulster Rugby Until June 2026

Aidan Morgan to Join Ulster Rugby Until June 2026

Ulster Rugby is pleased to announce the signing of fly-half Aidan Morgan, who will join the club until at least June 2026.

The Auckland-born playmaker, who turns 23 next month, is Irish-qualified through his Belfast-born grandfather. Morgan will make the move to Belfast this summer on a two-year contract.

Morgan, who represented New Zealand at the U20s level, first gained attention during the 2019 school campaign, helping Kings College win its first Auckland Schools championship title in over a decade. He was then developed through the Hurricanes Academy.

Currently playing for the Hurricanes, Morgan has earned 23 caps over three seasons in Super Rugby, becoming known for his energetic and competitive style of play at fly-half.

Bryn Cunningham, Ulster Rugby’s Head of Rugby Operations and Recruitment, commented on the signing:

“As part of our recruitment process, we explored various options to align with our short-term needs and long-term ambitions. Aidan brings a mix of youth, competitiveness, and high energy, which aligns with our strategic objectives. His maturity as a fly-half and being Irish-qualified with Ulster roots is a significant advantage.

“We’re excited for Aidan to develop with this talented squad under Richie’s leadership, and I’m confident he will make the province proud.”

Aidan Morgan expressed his enthusiasm for the move:

“I’m really looking forward to moving to Belfast this summer and representing Ulster, the birthplace of my grandfather. Ulster has a rich history, and I’m excited to experience the atmosphere at Kingspan Stadium. I’m eager to join a talented team and play in front of passionate supporters.

“It’s a great time to be joining Ulster, and I look forward to contributing to the team’s future under Richie and the coaching team’s vision.”

Morgan’s signing is anticipated to add depth and dynamism to Ulster Rugby’s squad as they aim for success in the coming seasons.

Rhys Ruddock Announces Retirement from Leinster Rugby

Rhys Ruddock Announces Retirement from Leinster Rugby

Leinster Rugby’s back row forward, Rhys Ruddock, has announced his retirement from professional rugby at the end of the current season.

Ruddock, who has amassed 228 appearances for Leinster and earned 27 caps for Ireland, will conclude his illustrious career as this season wraps up.

The 33-year-old debuted for Leinster in December 2009 against the Dragons, quickly becoming a key player in the back row and occasionally the second row for coaches Michael Cheika, Joe Schmidt, Matt O’Connor, and Leo Cullen.

Less than a year later, Ruddock made his senior Ireland debut against Australia in 2010 at just 19, after a late injury call-up for their tour.

Ruddock’s leadership has been evident throughout his career, captaining Ireland U-20s to a Six Nations title and later captaining both Leinster and the senior Ireland team. In February 2011, he became the youngest Leinster captain at 20, leading the team against Aironi.

Reflecting on his decision, Ruddock said, “Retiring from the game I love isn’t easy, but after 15 years, I feel it’s the right time. Playing for Leinster has been a dream come true, from supporting the team as a child to making lifelong friends and being coached by incredible people. I’m grateful to the fans, my teammates, coaches, and my family for their unwavering support.”

During his career, Ruddock has been part of six URC title-winning squads, three Champions Cup titles, a Challenge Cup, and was named in the PRO12 Team of the Year in 2014. Internationally, he won a Six Nations title in 2014 and competed in the 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cups.

Leinster Rugby Head Coach Leo Cullen praised Ruddock, stating, “The Ruddock family has significantly contributed to Leinster Rugby. Rhys has been a fantastic player and role model, showcasing his leadership and competitive spirit. We wish Rhys and his family all the best for the future.”

Ruddock looks forward to supporting his team in the final weeks of the season and embarking on the next chapter of his life.
