Babbling 'brook

I think McFadden could be in danger. Hasn't be great in the last 2 seasons and has made some bad defensive errors and looks to be trying too hard. Continues to give his all and is ultra competitive as he showed at the breakdown against the Scarlets but has got to be under real pressure now to hold ...

Gavin Cummiskey's piece in the IT about the game today represents that buffoon's low point in recent writing as he seeks to insult Northampton's coach Jim Mallinder and the Saints players by suggesting that they have resigned themselves to defeat tonight and Leinster should score 50 points or more ...

I sometimes worry for Leo. If this is true (which I assume it is) along with bringing Henry in for a short period of time..... do the powers that be really think that he is good enough for the job? In short, no. Leo should never have been made forwards coach in 2014. Leo being appointed head coach ...

Delighted. Hoping Morris plays well and it turns into a long term contract.

Welcome home Niall.

Wasps have released Cittadini as they couldnt guarantee him (enough) gametime/he no longer felt worthy to work with Dai Young Think this may even make Marty their senior tighthead. Starting spot between him and Jake Cooper Wooley so hes guaranteed a lot of gametime unless he plays like a rusty banj...

Yes.

The Cullen experiment doesn't look like it is going to work out. Judgement on Cullen should be reserved till he's had a proper pre season with his players but I had my reservations about Cullen when he was appointed and I don't think he's the right head coach for Leinster. Congratulations Connacht....

It's sad to see RK playing like a shadow of his former self but he's a liability now.

Cullen treats Madigan as badly as that other clown O'Connor did. Cullen has been an abject failure for the past four years and needs to be dumped. Madigan was lucky to get 5 mins last Saturday after his gutless display against Connacht. I've never been Madigan's biggest fan. He's talented but lacks...

I was behind the goals so it was hard to see clearly some of the decisions Owens made but we can't blame him when it was clear Leinster weren't at the races from the first minute. I have to say it was one of the dumbest Leinster performance I've ever seen. A perfect example was McGrath box-kicking ...

Wind had died down in the second half which didn't help. Heaslip needed to be on 10 mins earlier. But the biggest lesson from that is that Madigan isn't an option at 10 for either Ireland or Leinster. He was completely anonymous for most of that game. And when he did stand out it was more for mista...

You can't win a game like that with Madigan at 10. Just not smart or good enough.

Madigan was a disgrace tonight.

Blousing out of tackles, getting blocked down continuously and just generally not committed.

Dead right. Madigan is just not good enough.

I think both Marsh and Reid aren't good enough to play for leinster so let's get someone else in. I agree though I think Reid can do a job at 12 if needs be. We probably won't be allowed sign a 10 so we have to look at the least worst option. Marsh just went missing in the second half. He missed a ...

Please.... Reid FFs ???!!![/quote]

Reid at 10 is better than Marsh at 10.

I really can't see where Marsh is better than Reid in any aspect. Even Marsh' restarts are dreadful.

carlow man wrote:If we are stuck with Marsh next year while sexton is unavailable then we have big problems.

Don't want to be too hard on Marsh but he's just not up this standard.

Reid at 10 should be revisited for next season if we are not allowed sign a 10.

Weird atmosphere, because we were absolutely 'Cack' in the 2nd half... Reddin was awful , Madigan ( apart from Place Kicking ) was awful... Just 3 points in 2nd half ??... thats going back to our form per- six nations... Really, for the remaining games, I think , if we dont have JS at 10 , we shoul...

You're welcome for such great information!

Ur not far off. I vaguely remember Joe Schmidt mentioning Addison as an IQ player he was keeping an eye on.
