Babbling 'brook

Went back to start of rte coverage.First question go easy asks Donnacha the smiling buffoon is about Jordie Barrett and Doc says it was the most financially flexing week by any team ever in World rugby(French teams????). Utter garbage.

No arms tackle on Mangan to prevent a try and ridiculous disallowed Turner try plus other dodgy decisions

Legitimate try by Turner disallowed

22-0 down after 16 mins. Not good.

You can paint that a lot of different ways, I think people are looking at that picture totally wrong. You’re looking at a player leaving New Zealand and not going to Japan and not going to France [for more money] but coming to Ireland. Obviously, he’s got some roots there [in Meath], but it’s a mov...

Would be a huge plus if he could make the bench for Northampton and start if we get to the final 3 weeks later on 25th May probably against Meafou/Toulouse pack.

The Bulls game showed what strength in depth we have with Osborne forcing himself into our best xv and Russell, Turner, Milne showing their potential. Yesterday was a day with our best available 23 and they all played magnificently. Losing was just not an option we could contemplate as to be defeate...

Frawley at 15, Harry on the bench

Huge loss if true. Would have preferred Russell on wing with Larmour full back if we have to make change.

Tadgh Furlong could be our most important player tomorrow, the 2 LAR loose head props are 21 year old Penverne age 21, 6:2, 111kg and Kaddouri aged 20, 6:2, 114kg. They both played against Ireland Under 20’s last July and have played very little for LAR. The Tongan hooker Latu is 31 and unlikely to ...

Schlavi has moved over to tight head on bench to replace Columbe and he is a big unit as well.

Don’t know much about their loose heads or hookers with Bougarit and Wardl out. Does anyone know much about them?

Only 15 mins to team news. I expect us to go 6-2 with Will Connors added to 13 forwards used last week. 9 backs means we are likely to use only 2 of Ross, Harry and Frawley. I think Ringrose will be fit and get 14 or 23 shirt and even though I’m a big Osborne fan would not rule out Ngatai at 12 if h...

ROG has LAR based in Cork for week for training camp . Of course he does :roll: Will at least give the Munster Fans something to get behind after they lose to Northampton today :green clap: I’m no fan of Lar coach but I think we are better not giving him any oxygen for this one. Best way to treat h...

Any chance Skelton will not dominate this game and constantly lie on top of our players? Hopefully the ref will not allow him get 5 mins treatment on the pitch to slow game down like he did in previous encounters.

In 2021 Semi Final And 2022 & 2023 Finals Lar beat Leinster despite most of us thinking beforehand we would win. We did win Pool game this season but that will count for nothing unless we win this one. Where will this years match up of 2 superb teams be won and lost and even though we have belie...

Stormers 13 La Rochelle 0 at half time.

Ross is probably a better bet for managing the expected conditions but Harry must be disappointed given how well he's played recently Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk I think people don’t fully appreciate that playing last 30 minutes can be as important as playing the first 50. I can see Harry c...

Any word on our 6 fitness doubts - Keenan, Henshaw, Ringrose, Frawley, McGrath and Porter. Don't think there is anyone else doubtful who has a chance of playing tomorrow. Main selection debates at 1&17 - Porter, Healy, Milne, 4,6,19 &20 - Jenkins, Molony, Baird, Conan, 21 - McGrath, Foley, M...

If Keenan fit he comes into back line for Russell who has been very good lately, if Henshaw not fit Ringrose or Turner will come in at 13 and JGP will be at 9. In the pack I would play Baird with big Joe in second row as vdf, Conan and Doris is a great back row and Baird too good to leave out. Kelle...

Last night was a phenomenal game and particularly brilliant 35-0 second half against a very good team. Everyone played great especially some of the younger less established players like Osborne, Russell, Turner, Harry, Milne. Osborne in particular looks like he will go to South Africa with Ireland t...

Milne, Russell, Osborne and Turner showed they can push on and Larmour has not been this good in a long time
