Babbling 'brook

Some brilliant rugby all round but Edogbo… :shock: . Great hands, lines, and support play to go with his obvious power and pace. Nice to see Spicer get lifted easily and he’s definitely got something about him other than pure size. If Munster academy dont snap up Edogbo, we should be down to Cobh p...

I dont think we can blame the ref too much for that loss. The Sharks did everything they could to hand it to us, but our forwards got greedy at the end, we could so easily have won. Ruddock TOB and Frawley were outstanding, but some bad perfomances aswell, one that got away, good thing for us we ca...

Looking more and more likely that there may well be 2 QF s in SA … Hopefully URC. Will appoint strong referees and neutral TMO’s for those games

Yes but was as a result of our kicks being too long…gave them a chance to get going

Impressed with how we improved the scrum in the last quarter. We got the ball back to the 8 much quicker and got it away asap. That’s a really frustrating loss though. We made errors in the first half but I thought the officials really killed us in the second. Sure the Sharks were more powerful but...

And Frawley is our future 10….. has to be

Special mention for TO’B Too

Agree completely on all points

Shocker !!! … former Leicester stalwart predicts win for his old team…

My favourite tweet of the week from Karl Brophy…. “I know some Munster supporters are pissed off at having to play their QF. In Dublin because of Ed Sheehan, but Leinster have to play their QF in Leicester , despite winning every Heineken game they have played, scoring an average of 8 tries and 56 p...

Can’t see how any of you are nervous about this one. This is not a great Connacht outfit and Leinster are stacked with Internationals from 1-23. The only way Leinster lose this one is if they pick up an early red. I predict an Italian like performance from Connacht. They will stay with Leinster for...

So Leicester city have progressed in Europa competition…

It wasn't a 'brush'. Sexton got a shoulder/elbow into the face from Dowling as he went down to pick up a ball on 62 mins. Not sure how you'd call that 'simulation' or 'embarrassing' in any way. Both players went down, Dowling's shoulder brushed his face. Sexton roared and grabbed his head (delayed ...

was talking on his podcast Cheers, will give it a listen. Jim Hamilton did indeed speculate that the final could be in South Africa, SH winter. Interesting to see if it happens or it stays in NH. Wouldnt be too bad if @ sea level , but...Damp squib if No SA team involved... could be lowest ever cro...

Watching Stormers V Ospreys ( for my sins) ... has reinforced my views on Frank Murphy as referee... I know many on this forum have the idea that he is biased against us... but quite simply he is just a shockingly bad referee

INJURY UPDATE AHEAD OF RESCHEDULED THOMOND PARK CLASH The Leinster Rugby coaching team have issued an injury update ahead of the URC clash with Munster Rugby at Thomond Park on Saturday (KO 7pm – LIVE on RTE, Premier Sports and URC TV). There is positive news for both Ciarán Frawley and Conor O’Bri...

Agreed. He did a decent job.

I’m Peter Dooleys biggest fan but it didn’t go for him tonight

Agree - Ed Byrne showed him up ok - in scrums and elsewhere

Guaranteed there'll be the usual moaning about Busby irrespective of what happens on Sat then. Were you waiting for a chance to preemptively criticise other members of the forum? I honestly think that the vast majority of contributors to this forum have a reasonable knowledge of the Laws of the gam...

This one has been re-fixed for 2 April, as Ed Sheeran playing Thomond in May and Munster won't host Leinster then. Leinster Munster in the Aviva on the last weekend of the league 20/21 May. Moving your biggest home game of the season for an Ed Sheeran gig, that really is a shocker :lol: :lol: :lol:...

We very nearly won that game - not downhearted at all - I agree with previous poster - Leinster are far better - with our first choice team tonight ( and a proper referee of course- im not sure hes crooked - hes just a bad referee) we would have stuffed them
