Babbling 'brook

The most important thing was to win to keep us top of the league and [to an extent] put Munster back in their box. Job done on those fronts. Most of these games have been scrappy and competitive in the last four years or so, this one was another in the series. We did well to come back from 9-0 and ...

It's visible alright - from the angle behind the line. All in order.

Cor-rect!

I hope the lions tour plays no part whatsoever in the selection/non-selection of Leinster players for the Final on Saturday. Abso bleeding lootley ... Ireland/Leinster ......then St Mary's ......then Ratoath RFC ...............then.........wait...........getting there..........almost at how much im...

Ulster season ticket priority 1 starts on Ticketmaster at 9 am in your morning. I'm sure someone will post what areas are being allocated by the afternoon. For away matches it seems that we have always been allocated the corners and behind the stands and anywhere that's not that good really. It's t...

Two things to say : -I laugh out loud when I see people claiming that Leinster fans would have cheered the team louder than ever in the last 15 minutes of the game, unlike ASM fans did. I was in the Aviva stadium in december when Leinster lost against Clermont, the blue fans where quiet as f%~k dur...

Well done lads, yet more silverware. Leinster came through a very tough game to lift that cup, and fair play to them. The highlight for me was heislips modest and accurate account of the game, it showed an honesty that I thought was lacking. Not that it counts for anything, but my opinion of him ra...

No longer a rumour, the Indo has confirmed that ROG will be coaching with RM next season. So there.

So the IRFU get the last laugh

Anyone whoever wondered why Leinsterfans are so despised even by their own collegiate, would do well to read the above 15 or so posts. Embarressing doesn't come close. Girls, do yourself a favour and concentrate on the nail-bar, Hollywood/Brazilian and sunbed. It's a little thing called style, an e...

the blame the agents cards is always a bit weak when it comes to renewals The speed that the IRFU came out with their version of the transfer, and the slant they put on the news sys it all for me. I was imperative for them to get their version of the story out there before anything leaked. PR spin ...

Absolutely. You don't start building for a shot of honours next year by weakening your team actually heading for honours this season. Johnny is a better player he starts. Madigan will slot in nicely soon enough.

Really impressed with the young lads, although Conways decision to leave will bug me as I can't understand it. Just when he's started to make a real impression in the senior team this season, he's upping sticks. Especially given the opportunity he would have here next season, just doesn't make sens...

Eating

I'm going to get slagged off by front rowers for saying this, but prop isn't really a decision making position, but outhalf is, so Gatland may think there wouldn't be an issue slotting Jenkins in a bit later, while he wants his playmakers training with the squad from the outset. Every position is a...

Why is there no thoughts of citing Lund for the reckless (at a minimum) elbow on Lockey? Much worse than O Connell v the Os a while back and he was cited

harsh Dave. They are a great cup team still. Munster's performance was exceptional, they asked questions of a vastly superior team who are clearly mentally fragile. Very disappointed in ASM today, they panicked during crucial phases of a game where they had superiority all over the park on paper. T...

Great guts shown by Munster and they kept their heads when it looked like they might be overrun in the first half. Their defence was generally pretty good. Clermont are a fantastic team so were always going to make breaks but in general they coped well and their scramble defence was excellent. Cler...

No pointing slagging off the club just because Blanco is a bit of an eejit quite often. Basques are great.

Basques are fine it is the friggen Norweeegins that are trouble

Where did the reference to €250 come from? AFAIK We don't pay that kind of dosh to any/many players. I would've thought he'd be on half that at most. Maybe that's his total salary for the two years. Seems he's reasonably versatile, so lets wait and see how he shows up. It's imperative that we get h...

Sexton is the better player and Leinster's task now is to win ALL remaining matches, I do believe Madagan has a part to play too. Leinster in the knockout stages of 2 comps now is not the time to start "building for next season".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyLdP9AAB90 I think Munsters next home game should be played in an empty stadium (and I don't mean Musgrave) after this. Utterly disgraceful! And just a little bit funny since it distracted from hooks verbal excrement. Nice Blue Leinster top he is wearing too ! And h...
