Babbling 'brook

not that fans of other provinces will accept that the gap of direct financing at least is not that big. They wont have to as long as the media continues to push the simplified narrative. We are already seeing it repeated in the UK media and I'm sure we'll hear more and more of it before the Northam...

They were about 25 points wrong on Saturday…

Honestly with the way the season is scheduled this year, I’m far less worried about league position. Regardless of what happens in Croke Park and, hopefully, London, the champions cup will be done and dusted before we mount a challenge on the league title. We’ve seen what can happen when a team get...

I was expecting at least one of Jenkins/Molony and Healy/Milne, Frawley and maybe Harry might head home, and a bare bones selection for this one, but I wonder will plans change? Well, it looks like Jenkins AND Molony have stayed on. Frawley and Healy are also in this video: https://twitter.com/lein...

Joe Schmidt had conversations with Carbery, Jordi Murphy and Jack McGrath where while says he didn't tell them to move but they went straight of those meetings and immediately arranged moved. Ross Byrne and some others came under a lot of pressure but pushed back. I have no issue with Schmidt wanti...

On the topic of anchors I quite like Joe Malloy.

Welcome back, Bernard; all is forgiven.

Jackman saying that Joe Schmidt is blocking us signing Tupou.
He's certainly done us no favours in terms of squad management/recruitment since he left us.

People can take all the offence they want. I just think it must be exhausting getting that upset about such things. And My turn to use hyperbole now. On other online and social media platforms this kind of stuff. (Hatred of people you have never met over stuff that may or may not be all in your hea...

Maybe it's because Stormers have never beaten Munster but I never think of them as a massive powerhouse side (despite making last two finals). I think they're very beatable. La Rochelle who you beat out the gate beat them in Cape Town. Ospreys beat them in Cape Town. Munster and Glasgow and Benetto...

There’s surely no chance of us flying players out for the second game? I’d have rather expected players to fly home. Why not reinforce? Indeed, why bring players back home? We need a win on this trip. We screwed up royally against the Lions, so the expectation/ calculation that we could soft pedal ...

Onwards and upwards. Having screwed the pooch up in the clouds in Jo’burg, it would be great to get something out of this game in Cape Town. I was expecting at least one of Jenkins/Molony and Healy/Milne, Frawley and maybe Harry might head home, and a bare bones selection for this one, but I wonder ...

I’d recommend the Quickening thread

“Leinster have the money, Munster have the points.” Daire O’Briain on RTE. It’s not journalism but it’s fine, and even funny. But can we stop the pretence that the Irish rugby media is impartial?

That Munster win was huge for us. Almost cancels out our loss. It’s also totally reshaped the run in for them. The benefits of being able to send all your first team to South Africa. It also makes Bulls decision to throw in the towel in Europe seem even worse. Whatever happens next weekend, we will ...

Cullens crazy , yes crazy selection decisions could leave us with nothing again this year. He got it badly wrong v Munster last Yr and got it wrong again today . Why not send stronger squad for 1 game here? We will be down to 3rd by next wk. We will have to see what we are made of now with games on...

Point taken. Moved to General Rugby -》Munster.

How did I not know we have a thread for Munster?
Probably for the best.
