Babbling 'brook

I think the bench with McCloskey/Murray the only backs is a big risk. Looks like Henshaw is covering 15,14,11 and Aki 13, Frawley 10 with Stu coming in at 12 and indirectly covering all back positions except scrum half. Yep. As GT says in his IT article; no obvious cover for wing with either JCB or...

Gervais on the money... exactly yet again. He definitely has the 'in'

Thornley predicting the same 23 as the Indo - same 23 as Marseille except for Frawley for Keenan and McCloskey replacing Frawley on the bench. Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk I don't get why we'd go 6-2 on the bench. Removes the need to give a difficult message to one of Baird, Ryan or Conan th...

Not surprised Spicer gone. I'd never seen the guy play, and his reputation (or at least size) preceded him on this forum. I'm sure it's tough for the lad but he was anonymous v Italy, and mediocre v France. Hopefully he'll bounce back. He struck me as very slow and no dynamism. Young it goes without...

One thing that hasn't been commented on about the updated squad announcement is Ross Byrne not being brought back in. If he was actually our #2 he'd be straight back in. Performance at the weekend was a bit ropey though and I'd say he might not fall back down the Irish pecking order despite being L...

Looks like Isa to me; his way of carrying the ball, and high step.

Connacht performance is dismal v14 man Cardiff. And Conor Morris (and Jackman) pronouncing Murray as Murr-Ray fffs Thats how it's pronounced where Niall is from. New one on me. I went to College with several Rossie Murrays in UCG. Never heard it pronounced that way, and is thus a first on TV? Sent ...

Jackman "Connacht need to push on now for the bonus point" . They just scored their first against 14 men (13 at one point) on 62 mins to go 12-13 up. What's he smoking?

26-0 in 2nd. Treviso absolutely dire. Turner did well as did Russell. I wonder if we will look back on today as the day Sam took over from Ross. Probably not but it'll come very soon Russell was poor I thought. I think he's a bit at sea with his role in Nienabers def system. He also had lots of han...

I'm exceptionally wary of Wales. Gatland, who is, let us not forget, the most experienced and successful coach in the competition, has taken Wales from where they were 12 months ago - an utter shambles that makes Ulster look like the All Blacks run by Tim Cook - to being competitive (P2 L2, but wit...

I wonder might they release Larmour or Frawley to play given our lack of back three options and their need for game time? Might be a good test run if Keenan is out for Wales. Byrne, McKee, Mike, Molony, Jenkins, Deegan, Penny, Culhane, McGrath, Ross/Sam, Russell, Brownlee, Turner, TOB, Larmour? Bar...
