Babbling 'brook

I can't see LAR anymore in my rearview mirror for all the dust. Enough already. We've got a tricky URC quickening to navigate, a Euro semi vs Northampton in Jones' Road and, if we win that, a possible Mother of All Finals vs Dupont, Ntamack and the rest of the Toulouse garcons in London. Ooh… I’m s...

Keith Wood calling it an end to the punditry, just as his son moves into Munster academy. Is that confirmed Mildly? which part? the retirement yes. his son in the academy? not yet, but its expected to happen. Well, good luck to both Woods: father and son. You’d have to think that there’s a connecti...

Rob Baxter If Irish rugby, Leinster and the United Rugby Championship can get their house in order to allow them to invest in players, their programme and their coaches like they do, you have to say, ‘Fair play.’ “My response would be, ‘Let’s not try to say it’s not fair and limit Leinster, let’s l...

We are big spenders - there's no need to be embarrassed about it. Irish provinces have large budgets - in comparison to the Premiership at least - because Irish rugby is really well run financially with a completely integrated pyramid system that benefits and grows the game from the grassroots thro...

Can we ease up a bit on the search for victimhood? I find it irritating in Munster fans, I’m not fond of it anywhere. The irony is. The people who complain the most about munster fans are the same people who are whinging about bias in commentary/punditry/chyte on twitter. You basically have to prai...

Oh- I know you were. Not everyone was though. [emoji106]

Ah you can't expect Donal to hold his tongue when there's a chance to talk Con. I think we are definitely entering a Twilight Zone on our readings of bias. I attended the match, so only watched it later that night and next day, but I thought both Lenihan and Cahill were fine and as balanced as you ...

Ps for those moaning about our transfer policy, first we ain’t finished and second believe in our coaching team to get it right, they have not let us down since Leo took over. I don't think I've seen anyone moaning about us signing Jordie Barrett on here... I would imagine there is plenty of it on ...

That's terrible news and is the opposite of the Leinster Way. Signing Snyman is bad enough, this compounds it. He’s the reason Ireland lost to NZ. Clutch player who always performs well on the biggest stage. He’s the type of player that would make the difference between us winning or losing a final...

Great move by all blacks, Inside scoop on core of Ireland's team That stuff is incredibly over-rated nowadays. Every coach and performance analyst in the world has access to thousands of hours of detailed footage on every team out there, there are no great mysteries anymore or "inside scoops&q...

It the pricing is anywhere near as cheap it'll be v surprising. EPCR have no clue, on how to get the crowds in balanced with making a reasonable amount. I'd love to know what the GAA are charging EPCR. Sent from my SM-G990B using Tapatalk €1,000,000. That's from a contact in Croke Park. I heard tha...

I'd say cheapest tickets will be €35 with anything reasonable around €50. It the pricing is anywhere near as cheap it'll be v surprising.

Only fair.

[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] no need for that…

I do love this signing, from the perspective that whatever way you want to spin it, he's been one of the best players in the world for the past couple of seasons and brings a winning mentality into our squad, plus huge versatility. It is a little baffling from a fit perspective given we still need ...

Barrett is a FB isn’t he? Don’t really understand why we’ve signed him as we have Keenan, Frawley and JOB who can play FB and Wing. Would have thought that we have a more pressing need at THP in the light of Alalatoa’s impending departure. Jordi is the ultimate unity player: full back, centre, out ...

Gotta laugh at all the whinging about RoG being booed. Make no mistake, this is nothing more than pandering to Munster fans, especially people from Cork. Leinster players booed often in TP down the years. Leinster players given nicknames like Daverage and Kneeslip. Leinster referred to as Ladyboys....

EPCR instruct on pricing and allocate tickets to each Club for sale / distribution. Historically, it has been very difficult for Leinster to influence EPCR in pricing policy. Historically the EPRC have been shite at almost everything to do with this competition. But they are particularly venal, opp...

McRae dislikes his notoriety?
