- Pass/Fail:
- Like I said, a wider variety of sources may be beneficial - also make sure the are reliably cited and detailed (with ate accessed, name, source etc). While I am not sure the article is yet ready for GA status, for me it is very close and I am asking for second opinion (also because it is my first review). Other reviews opinions extremely welcome.

- Well as long as the sources are reputable they are fine. Now on the other hand refs 33, 38, and 53 are dead links. Ref #5 isn't going to the right place and #45 doesn't even connect. That was just the references another reviewer will take a look at everything else. ObtundTalk 03:59, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

- Pass/Fail:
First reviewer asked for a second opinion, so I'll review the article.
- Lead is supposed to summarise the article, see WP:LEAD. So sentences such as "On 19 May 2012 Leinster won a record third Heineken Cup in four years with a 42-14 win over Ulster Rugby in the first final to feature two teams from Ireland.[3] Leinster are currently ranked 1st in the European Rugby Club Rankings." should not be included, as it is not summarise sections of the article.
- Not happy at all with the referencing in the history, hardly any inline citations, some paragraphs have none at all, which is worrying. Claims such as "Before the days of professional rugby union, there was further emphasis on Irish club rugby as opposed to the provincial game." and "Much has changed in rugby over the years, but the original idea of Leinster Club Rugby acting as a feeder for the Leinster Interprovincial side, though now professional, still stands true." need citing
- History section suffers massively from recentism, last 4-5 years takes up the majority of the section
In light of the above and unformatted references, I'm failing this article, as it suffers from recentism and numerous referencing issues. NapHit (talk) 21:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
