Babbling 'brook

There is a lot to play for both teams. If Leinster lose, they are effectively out of the Pro14 running. Munster will relish the chance to kill them off. https://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2021/0122/1191359-lenihan-munster-tide-turning-as-another-derby-looms/ Perhaps maths is not his strong point I know...

Terrible game in Galway. Entirely predictable from Connacht after their performance last week. Can't back it up. Are you surprised? Leinster is their cup final every season Leinster were poor last week and could have still pulled it out IMO. No, not surprised at all. Totally predictable like I said...

In light of the generally negative tone of this thread I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to the players and staff of Leinster Rugby and Ulster Rugby for delivering such an engaging and committed contest on a grim Winters night in the aul' town and during a pretty bleak period for humanity. La...

I see Clermont lost their third home game in a row. Should make it more straightforward for Munster to qualify for the QFs.

We have two games in hand don’t we? Yes we do - away to Munster and away to Scarlets Btw, the utterly stupid new 16 round Pro whatever we're playing has us playing away to Munster, Scarlets and Benetton while Ulster got to play all three at home. They were away to Connacht, Cardiff and Edinburgh - ...

Joe Schmidt used to manufacture a poor performance when needed. I don't wish to take away from Connacht's dominant performance, but it is good timing for a kick up the arse. We've played within ourselves and yet continued to win over the past few weeks.

I like it!

Leinster win games with a bonus point continuously, even when going very deep into the squad and academy. Verdict: the league is rubbish and not up to scratch, can't provide preparation for the "good" sides Leinster lose one game, playing very poorly with a patchwork squad, against a good Connacht s...

We've now lost 100% of our games in 2021. What a disastrous year.

anyone else felt Hawkshaw did well when he came on? Tough game to come into. Yeah thought he was pretty good. Has a lovely break on him. No idea why we didn't just bring him on at 10. Not often I say it, but that was a bizarre decision from Leo. Totally agree, the oddest call. I just can't in anywa...

Agree Leinster are finished.

Won't be bothering going to another game this year now.

On a positive note, I was impressed again with Liam Turner and Greg McGrath came through well.

True, felt a bit sorry for the debutantes, tough game to make your debut. Outplayed in most parts of the pitch.

It's now official. It's the end of Leinster as a competitive force. Fact.

Looks like we've eventually run out of players, and that's no disrespect to the new caps.

3 weeks for Mr Woods. So I wonder does anyone in authority go back to the referee and say "eh.... what were you thinking"?

We possibly won't that see that ref again in this seasons competition.
