Babbling 'brook

Am I right in thinking that there are no NIQ 9s in Ireland now? Someone suggested in the thread for the Sharks match that we should try to sign Grant Williams. How great would that be? Maybe our new coach can pull some strings in that regard. Failing that, we could have a look at a short contract f...

Can't really buy into the talk of starting Dev, the guy is a club legend but he's not really performing at this level anymore. Molony has been performing better all year in the league and reversing that because a bit of panic directly after facing one of the best mauls in Europe would be a mistake. ...

Typo?

Definitely a mistake, they also have Dev at 19.

We've beaten Munster multiple times before with 10+ guys rested, in fact the only time we lost in recent years was when we went fully first string.

They'll be desperate to prove a point but if whatever group of players we send out will be good enough to win.

I can't see us being a particularly attractive destination for a young Munster lad, none of them could crack the current 23, if I were Daly I'd be more interested in Connacht especially seeing how well Wooton has done up there. Ulster seem to be overflowing with young wingers at the moment though, b...

Murray Kinsella was reporting that Munster made a play for Deegan recently but were rebuffed and told Deegan was happy at Leinster. Frawley is a little more concerning but he may not be out of contract. If he does leave it is very unlikely he would go to Munster. Ulster looks a bit crowded at 10 to...

I'd be most disappointed over Frawley, followed very closely by Deegan Murray Kinsella was reporting that Munster made a play for Deegan recently but were rebuffed and told Deegan was happy at Leinster. Frawley is a little more concerning but he may not be out of contract. If he does leave it is ve...

Toner definitely was talking fairly enthusiastically about the idea of playing abroad in some of his interviews recently. Glad he's staying on but hope he gets an opportunity to play elsewhere if that's what he wants. I'd say he's happy here while we pick him. Well obviously we're his first choice ...

there’s no point in having a great 3rd choice when it comes to knock outs. Who do you think Ciaran Frawley, Harry Byrne, Dan Sheehan, Scott Penny and Max Deegan should move to? They all presumably are aiming for a future where they're not third choice anymore, while this guy will never be ahead of ...

What's the thoughts on backrow selection if Doris is fit? Would be harsh on him but I can't really see any of the current trio losing their spots, Conan is in brilliant form and trying to play one of them at flanker like we've tried in the past is best avoided too. We've got a 6, a 7 and an 8 in the...

This would be a huge win for us. Would definitely ease the pain of the back to back Saracens losses (something I suppose Exeter can probably empathise with). On the other hand if we lose this team is going to start having the underperforming tag thrown at them, with some justification. A loss here w...

Easier to reschedule football games I suppose.

Confirmed on the club twitter now. Game's off.

Definitely a fair few guys in the squad deserving. Cronin, Bent, Ruddock, Dave would all make a lot of sense. Fardy too although I suppose his cap numbers could count against him. Luke McGrath is probably down the queue a bit but has 145 appearances, good chance he's a future inductee (or whatever t...

I think they'll continue with ROL for his reliability. If it does turn out to be Harry at 10 you have to go with ROL I think, Harry and Frawley are great together but that's too much inexperience for a game of this magnitude. That said, assuming there is one of Sexton or Ross available, I can defin...

That's a toubling injury list. James Ryan will be sorely missed against this pack. Anyone for a Harry - Frawley - Henshaw midfield? I think they'll continue with ROL for his reliability. If it does turn out to be Harry at 10 you have to go with ROL I think, Harry and Frawley are great together but ...

Needs to happen.

That said, it also needs to happen for Fardy. No reason both can't get done.

Can’t wait for the Rainbow Cup. Great way for the young lads to get game time and have a challenge. Great the way we’re playing South African teams as it will give us more competition. We won't be playing the young lads save for injury or catastrophic loss of form - the internationals are back and ...

Was a bit wrong about the team but happy enough to be. That's a strong side that should have enough about to hopefully see off Munster.
