Babbling 'brook

Watched Saturday's game again last night. Normally I find Lenihan to be fairly balanced but can't stand the sound of Cahill's voice. Surprisingly thought that Cahill was the balanced one on Saturday. Lenihan sounded like a child that spent the week before Christmas in Santa's toy factory and then w...

Not sure how reliable this is, but I have heard that tickets will go on public sale at 10am on Friday and are an average of €10 cheaper than for last year's semi-final at the Aviva Stadium - down on average from €49 to €39. Premium tickets this time around are priced at €90 for Premium, Category 1 ...

It would mean sending a bigger squad and paying for extra flights. Not everyone can afford a week in Fota to save 6 hours travel time. Jenkins has played 3 weeks in a row, 15 games this season and with Ryan gone we're tighter at lock. The only upside is that he'd be glad of a trip home. If we don't...

They have a good 1st choice 15. The team today was stronger than Connachts IMO. Although Connacht didn't help themselves at all.

I don't really buy this idea of ROG as a cheque book coach. He joins La Rochelle ahead of the 2019-20 season with Jonno Gibes as his Director of Rugby. Then he becomes top dog for the 2021-22 season. He certainly hasn't signed most of their best players. Botia and Atonio are over a decade at La Roc...

I hope I’m wrong but I really can’t see us getting more than 50k to Croke Park. ERC is organising which won’t help. The best hope is group offers and deeply discounted tickets. I think Nowlan Park would have been a much better option IMHO. Appreciate the immediate financial considerations but takin...

It's the incompetent EPCR that have made a mockery of the competition, the Bulls have just highlighted it.
Remember the time Montpellier were afraid to play Leinster and the clowns awarded them a BP win?

Horrible.

You can add Dublin Saint-Germaine to da bleedin list too

I call them Qatar Saint-Germaine.

Plus you have Saudi Arabia United in the NE of England. You know the lads with the black and white striped shirts?

Lucky us that they've already effectively killed the Heineken Cup then! The European Cup is on the ground but still just about alive and kicking, mainly because of the Irish clubs (Aviva crowd last weekend, lots of travelling Munster supporters in Northampton). It looks like they're trying to strik...

Reaching this point in the planning process is a significant achievement for EPCR chairman Dominic McKay and chief executive Jacques Raynaud

Do these guys never learn?

Luke Marshall retiring at the end of the season. Injuries really did for what could have been an incredible career - he looked like an amazing player at u20 levels, by some considerable distance the best young player in Ireland Don't know if you remember his performance for the Lein/ulster combo at...

As you would expect from Munster, nothing was left on the pitch effort wise but unfortunately they just lack quality and depth and the years of the academy not producing a conveyor belt is coming home to roost for both them and Ireland (same is true of Ulster in my view). Blood and guts only gets y...

Looking at the outcomes and body language on Saturday evening and reviewing both since, that performance had all the hallmarks of a week of low, or no, emotional preparation what so ever. That may have been a gamble, but with the second-half against Bulls in the recent memory bank, they would have ...

That sounds horrendous

I take it back. Seat map up now.
