Babbling 'brook

End of season braai gone wrong.

I took a walk around town yesterday morning. The streets in the Grafton St area were/are absolutely filthy. It was depressing. The city council have done jack during the various lock downs to maintain and clean the streets and footpaths. Dirty old town. It was depressing.

Yahoo! South Stand x 2. I could care less if it pi@#es rain that evening.

A scarf in June?

Lottery from the 20/21 membership scheme you'd think. If so count me in

Had the pleasure of talking to Padraig twice. Once where we happened to be playing up in Stackstown the week before he won his 2nd Open where he was practicing. Really nice guy, excellent pro.

If I can use the phrase "Fur coat, no knickers" Munster have opted to spend their money on frivolities such as Zeebs and the shiny new Saffer but not sticking with the nuts and bolts of a prop who will see you through a sh*tty night in Limerick or Swansea in upcoming Pro14/16.

All that's missing from this farce is the announcement that the final is being played at a neutral venue halfway between the NH Pro14 teams and SA in Nairobi or Tripoli.

+1. I was in City West last Saturday for my AstraZeneca flavoured jab. It was ran and conducted with what I can only describe as military precision. Kudos to the logistical team who put everything in place. However I am hearing the MVC for Meath at Simonstown GFC is a bit of a sh*tshow.

One for the anoraks. Is Bundee the first Connacht Lion since... Ciaran Fitzgerald? Or who am I missing? John o Driscoll and Ciaran Fitzgerald in 83 Ray McLoughlin before them in 66 and 71. Robbie Henshaw 2017 :twisted: Of course you are correct Xan. Checked myself. I doubted you at first. How silly...

Off topic slightly but drink related, wasn't there another poster back in the day and their nome de plume was "Skinfull" also some other lad/lady who admitted to on this here forum to MMA with a Munster man outside the Horseshow House. No pens were killed or injured in the production I bel...

George North is out. Done his ACL at the weekend. Gatland surely would have brought him. Open the door for who?

Got that e-mail too. Brightened up an otherwise dull day for me.

I see what you did there!

In words of Jed Bartlett in the West Wing, "Okay, What's next?

I think that draw has yet to be made. I could be entirely wrong.

I seem to recall they hated Felipe in pretty much the same way. Loathed him in actual fact.

Was it not a mitigating factor that especially in the case of Beirne and Thornbury that they were constantly injured during their academy days so no body of work to accurately assess them on?

Stephen Jones in his player ratings of yesterday's match in the Sunday Times, when assessing CJ he referred to contractual issues behind Stander's retirement. Any truth to this or is it Jones doing what he does best that being a kn*b or a troll or both?
