Babbling 'brook

Don't suppose anyone knows where I can watch Leinster in Mulhouse, Alsace, France? I queried the local Irish bar but got no response.

Hey guys, I've started a page to petition that the 13 jersey be retired from Leinster when the greatest of all time, Brian O'Driscoll, hangs up his boots at the end of the season. I think its the least we could do for the man. Please like, share, etc so this gathers momentum. Hear our call Leinster!...

Logorrhea - Forgot anyone who doesn't agree with you is pathetic. Get a life. Hey, I'm not the one whos dismissing a true Leinster legend for accepting an offer 99% of us would have accepted, while conveniently ignoring the foreign players playing for Leinster, and the other Leinster legends who ha...

T'was a Genuine question, all of those players were regarded as one of the best in their respective national teams and left for foreign cash. Hell I didn't even think to put Contepomi's name in there. I do not understand how anyone can cheer their lungs out in support of a player for so long and th...

No time for mercenaries. You also edited out my point that it could/would open the floodgates for players to leave. I assume it galls you to see/have seen ISA, Le Roux, Elsom, Wright, Hines...... et al, in blue? Now you're being silly. I forgot its not ok to disagree with the old guard here! Logorr...

A lot of very emotionally responses here - saying he's a mercenary etc. He's a phenomenal player hitting his prime in a pro sports career with a limited shelf life. IRFU contracts are good money, but hardly enough to retire on. He's making the most out of his career while he can. If I was in his bo...

Wonder how much his girlfriend was in his ear?

Might seem harsh but I think he shouldn't be chosen for Ireland. If he is then it'll open the flood gates and we can kiss the domestic league goodbye.

I'm actually disgusted by the move. He clearly just wants money by going to play for those mercenaries. He should vacate the jersey now and make way for Madigan.

Is it just me or is Fionn Carr afraid to tackle? I know he's not the biggest lad on the field, but there were several occasions last night when he seemed to pull out of tackles or not commit at the breakdown. It could be argued that he decided not to compete and reset defensively, but there were mo...

Yeah I know, its depressing. But I tend not to question the team's music choices, otherwise I wouldn't like any of them.

There is the small matter of having to use the NIQ spots also. We have 5 spots to use and the IRFU are hammering at the door, trying to diminish the requirement. What would it say if Leinster turned around and said "Actually, no, we reckon we can manage with 2." We might not need NIQ play...

Handshake deal my arse. He's just a money grabber.

Why's he going to play for Taranaki now? Should he not be coming here for a bit of pre-season first??

Much rather get Clermont in the pool stages then having to make a trip to France later in the tournament. Pretty happy with the draw all round.

GT's article in today's IT is a disgrace. Congratulating Leinsterfans on booing at the end and for the referees presentation. Surprised he didn't advocate some Leinster GAA tactics - Beating him up or sticking him in the boot of a Renault Megane... :lol: In fairness he says "It was eminently f...

Poite was a joke as usual, if anyone else did that bad in their job they'd be on the dole queue right now. Thought our boys looked tired, but despite the bad calls from Poite the Ospreys played very well, took their chances and did enough, so well done to them. Have to say some of the Osprey's fans ...

Yep, thanks to everyone. We were mugged of the double but we won the Heineken and proved we're the best teams of all time so I don't care too much, you can have the Rabo Ospreys. Well done all.

Why this late sea-change in opinion. Injury?

Well up until a couple of hours ago it was questionable as to whether BOD, Rob, Boss, Ciano or D'arce would play. They probably thought they'd say they called it first.
