Babbling 'brook

The FA has confirmed that the FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Manchester City will take place at 3pm on 25 May. It will be shown live on BBC and ITV. The decision (presumably by BT/TNT and EPCR) to schedule the kick off time for the Investec Cup Final for 14:45 on the same day looks moro...

There is some delicious irony in Welsh people complaining about refereeing decisions given the decade of favourable calls they've got since 2011.

Social media manager is earning their keep on twitter alright

€285 for an adult season ticket is great value. If I didn't live on the wrong side of the Irish sea I'd snap that up.

Oh no, one less scumbag turning up to Ireland games wearing a Munster jersey and refusing to cheer on anyone except their players. Whatever will we do. That’s not fair, being upset and posting online doesn’t make someone a scumbag. Would appreciate if you could rescind that comment I echo the view ...

The #DublinSaracens that overthehillplop has started brings a smile to my face. Long let the seething of that Plonker continue. Just refer to them as Forest Even before 2009 he was an insufferable bore with a portion of chips on his shoulder about Leinster. Now he has a whole chipper on his shoulde...

Priceless stuff. Leinster replace Ngatai with Barrett so.... Waterfordlad I've been a member of Irish Rugby Supporters Club since 2008, mainly for access to tickets/events. No more, I'm done. The power of one. It's a small thing at 50 euros a year but I'm quitting on principle. I'll still support M...

Oh there'll be plenty of piss boiled in Munster tonight.

Yes- that’s fair enough: sarcasm aside, of course. I will say Kidney was never anything as unpopular with Leinster fans as ROG. The dislike- don’t like using “hate”, is fairly visceral right now. But it may dissipate in time. And don’t underestimate the role of sentiment- if there’s an alternative ...

Do you think that ROGs antics and his standing with of Leinsters fans (and you would assume players) will hurt any future chances of being a future Irish coach? Absolutely, who can forget Ireland's grand slam triumph of 2009, coached as they were by the much loved Declan Kidney. Yes- that’s fair en...

Random thoughts after watching the game: A lot of my friends who support other provinces consider Larmour to be talented but flaky. Performances like this show that he is now the finished article who can step up if needed. It looked like Furlong was purposely put at Skelton to negate him and did ju...

Rte ROGfest lovein. D4 media my arse.

f%~k he's done a Leinster video we're doomed to lose.

It's surprising how little the Irish media have picked up on ROGs misogyny from the latest magazine feature he did.

It's hugely windy here in Northampton, I'm not watching the game but is it appearing to go one way more than the other? May play a big difference in the second half.

Reflections of BOD Vs Munster there from Henshaw

Like the majestic Giraffe, there is no sight more enthralling than a second row at full gallop I find a diminutive Kiwi 9 at full stretch can reach the same heights sometimes. I assume he has dual citizenship? Anyway, Orish scrum half works even better if I could correct. I prefer Mike Ross's defin...

But they beat Clock RFU?
