Babbling 'brook

Don't think I'd stop going to Leinster games even if Kidney took over again. Mad to consider anything else really.

I was amazed that it wasn't at least a penalty. Lacey didn't want to know at all. It looked worse in slow motion. You're allowed lead with your forearm. Are you? My understanding is that you can only fend with an open hand. O'Brien got away with the forearm lead for years until he was finally pulle...

poor game, considering the back line you had out you should really have made more of the ball you had. I thought we were going to hang on at the end but couldn't really complain about the result. a few years back we had the best scrum in the pro 12 and you had the best attack, things have really ch...

Personally guys like Kirchner are worth their weight in gold. If they were good enough to keep players like RK out of the starting XV then we wouldn't have access to them throughout the year, they'd be back in their country playing rugby for the national team. The best NIQs are the ones who bolster ...

It was. And I thought fair play to Lacey for holding his ground on it. Nothing in it. Definitely wasn't a stiff arm fend to the head anyway.

I was amazed that it wasn't at least a penalty. Lacey didn't want to know at all. It looked worse in slow motion. You're allowed lead with your forearm. The issue is when players lead with an elbow, or if they aim the forearm towards the head area. Play it back in full motion and you'll see it was ...

But anyway, credit where it's due, MOC made an absolute gamble and it looks like it's paying off. T'eo is way ahead of where I thought he'd be at this stage. He's been one of our better players, gets us on go forward ball, and is learning the ropes far quicker than expected. That switch to Fitzgeral...

I'll be amazed if he gets banned for that. Absolutely nothing in it. Infact it'll be a crime against the game if he does get a ban.

Pity Luke isn't playing for Ireland, just holding tackle bags for the warm up really. He'll be sorely missed in Swansea.

I'm only reiterating what he said. I haven't been following Clontarf that closely. Can he step up to Pro12 level? Yeah that's fair enough, just surprised to hear it, even as third party info! Yeah I suppose we'll find out tomorrow. Like I said, I don't think he's that much of a scrummager. I don't ...

I really like Lacey too. Very clear in his communication, very loud ref. As a player that's what you want, none of this finding out what went wrong after the whistle goes shite.

Hah!

Only problem I have with the team is Ryan should be starting.

Sick of MOC favouring the younger, more exciting up-and-coming option!

Bent can move over with Dooley coming in at LH Oh ye forgot Bent can do both. Did a double take when I saw RBF in there. He's only had one run out for the As this season and the rest at Clontarf IIRC? My manager is a die hard Clontarf man and he's not convinced that RBF is the best man at AIL level...

cr@p. Anything else we can get outraged at instead now?
