Babbling 'brook

The Ref is being exceedingly lenient in relation to the torrent of Ulster penalty offences. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a YC.

Van Diemen's Land - best place for him!

I see that they lost 19-17 to Oyonnax today. 4 defeats in their first five games of the new season.

Currently hunting down a bigger box of tissues to mop up the outflow.

Such cynicism in one so young!

That pass for Farrell’s try looked very forward to me.

When we hear him talking about the Australia job we know he didn't get it.

Sorry to learn of Matt Perry’s early death. I enjoyed his work in Friends as well as in dramas like The West Wing and The Good Wife. He was a good actor. May he rest in peace. Also did great work helping people with addiction issues. Something important to him and something he wanted to be remember...

The financial governance model in the English premiership is shambolic and ruinous. It’s a virus that appears to have spread to their Championship given the recent collapse of the Jersey Reds. It also undoubtedly contributed to the approach taken by the ‘spivs’who run the Premiership in their high ...

I see that La Rochelle have lost to Castres, their 3rd loss in their first 4 fixtures. Difficult start to their season. Are they missing many players to the RWC squad?

Sam Cane will have plenty of time to reflect about the impact of his RC on the outcome of the game. I recall the frankly, thuggish, approach of NZ in the match against Ireland in 2016 two or three weeks after their shock Chicago defeat. I think it was a BBC sports news report at the time which state...

Given Ioane’s antics at the end of the Ireland vs NZ game and Retallick’s reported comments also, I was quite gratified by last night’s result. What did Retallick say? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He is reputed to have sneeringly said, “Four more years” to POM after the game. If true, that so...

Tbf we had zero senior coaches this summer in the backs, which wasn't right IMO. I critised it at the time and was told that the S&C guys had experience so would be grand. I don't think that game was exactly the end of the world. I'm pretty worried about how Clarkson fared out there, McGuire lo...

We had no scrum in the first half and our tackling was dire also. Charitably all I can say is that some of the Ref decision making was bizarre, not that Glasgow needed the assistance! Evans wasn’t the reason we lost but he did not apply some of the laws, particularly around the breakdown, at all eve...

Ross Moloney appears to have hurt his left wrist defending that last try.

Bugger!

Well done, Lee Barron!

We have no scrum so Glasgow are earning penalties and position from it as easily as money from a slot machine. This could get very ugly.

That Glasgow try scored from a scrum where their TH had his hand on the ground!

Amazed we scored that try given how many infringements Ref allowed Glasgow to commit in the build up.
