Babbling 'brook

Strange article from the Cork Examiner. Nothing that I can see in the Dublin meeja, which is strange even though they (RTE, IT and II) have reports on his hip problem, his thoughts on the world cup and his views on bringing young players through.

Why no stars though??? It is listed as a training jersey so presumably won't be match day. I don't actually like the stars to be honest so it is on my list. :) We have some sticky gold ones we can tack on if necessary !! Can we assume they are the same exact colour and will be equidistantly located...

Kidney says he is not going anywhere. I say I'm not getting tickets to the autumn friendlies. Like that is some surprise! It is an Irish trait, he probably thinks that if he went it would look like he had not been up to the job :evil: On the other hand I can trot up the A1 and take in two Scotland ...

Its not all about the players not following the game plan. Deccie has remarked in todays IT about the social differences between the youth of Ireland and that of New Zealand: “It is but it’s one that has a high skill level too,” said Kidney. “There’s a little bit of a social reason for that in the b...

France did us a serious favour by hammering Argentina today - never would have thought it possible to move up a place on the back of a 60 - 0 defeat but, just like Wales last week, we benefit from someone else's result. Ireland, England and Scotland all go up one place, France go up two places to f...

That game was over after 60 seconds. We came in totally undercooked and it was clear before they even scored the first try. So any talk of this player or that player is a bit of a sideshow to the main issue- we weren't prepared properly and we didn't get it together at any stage in the game. For th...

It's all about the U20 World Cup. They've been winning them all and that's why they have lots of good players.

I think he's relying on Mike Ruddock to do his job for him.

It was the provinces last time, now the U20s.

We've been here before, last autumn springs to mind. Deccie should resign but he won't and the suits won't sack him but they should.

I am looking forward to Deccies banal platitudes on this game though.

Embarrassing. We aren't even f%~king thinking out there! f%~k this sh!t, kinda hope they put a record score on us if it means Kidney and co are gone. There is no way Deccie will go. We've been played off the park by a team that is miles better than us. At this stage the best we can hope for is to s...

What's Deccie going to do to shake this up?

I bet ya Vamos would notice the difference.

What can you say, the man is a perfectionist. Respect.

Talk about abusing a new poster.Thanks alot. Ah come on, you've surely a bit more fight in you than that. :D If this was janeymac, he'd be telling stories of wise old ROG throwing young Jonny his jersey and telling him "One day you'll make it kid"!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: The mental image as...

People around here are hyper-sensitive to the ROG.

:roll: :roll: Good 1 you caught me there. ROG isnt doing too bad 130 caps i think at this stage,his drive is fantastic to see and not least his mentoring if sexton. Sexton said himself that theres no better tactical O/H in Europe. But ROG day has come i suppose and sexton is a more than able replac...

That's bizarre that they have pics of the last season jersey with one star... it was never, ever made with one star... so someone had to go out of their way to edit that pic.. Why? Are we just going to have 'one star' rather than a collection, or is someone missing something? The 2 stars on my this...

Just messing with you. Is McCaw so far from favour now in NZ? Moving him to 8 suggests the coach has faith or you have no other 8s (which I can't believe).

Lewis pinged mc caw every time he lay on the ball / came in from the side in his last Wales v NZ game. pob then dropped him from the WC panel. The precious haka is getting tedious now for me sulkingly doing it in the dressing room in Cardiff because they didn't get their own way was the last straw ...
