Leinster v Glasgow - timeline notes
FWIW I now share my shorthand notes from Leinster & Ireland matches
Hey there…for every Leinster & Ireland match we do a Harpin’ wrap pod, which means I try to take meticulous notes which take the form of a timeline using my own shorthand. Up to now I have always deleted the previous week’s notes but now I have a Substack I thought I’d share them, not that I expect you to go through them, it's more like they are here for me to keep for posterity.
