Babbling 'brook

Not a fan of complaining about refs, don’t want this to turn into that shower down south posting gifs on twitter for every wrong decision, but one thing happened I thought was odd today. At around 53 min mark Toulouse are taking a box kick and DuPont rolls the ball out to the back of the ruck. It l...

What a performance....immensely proud of every player on that team today, to a man they played out of their skins and for each other!!!! Obviously minus some big names they stuck together and put us back in pole position Thought the pack were exceptional and the catalyst of the performance...Healys ...

On what basis is Cronin coming to the end of his career? Certainly not on the basis of his performances and his pace. Why is everybody over thirty ready for the knackers' yard in your view? 30 seems to be the new 50!!!!!....have to agree with you on cronin, his pace/explosiveness isn’t dropping. As...

I’d go Dan Sheehan and Brian Bryne personally

Last night really was a case of just beat what was in front of you for our lads... Valuable game time for a few like Jack Mc, Cronin, RK and Porter who will be involved next week We played some really good stuff but at times over played and had some sloppy turnovers from Penney and COB (both I thoug...

Good win against fairly weak opposition. We didn't shoot the lights out but were completely in control from 1st minute. Pack was excellent. Molony and Kearney have really come on this year I must say. Molony in particular looked a cut above. Deegan had a great game too. COB was a clear MOTM. Looks ...

Not going to dive into the analysis of rugby in that game because there wasn’t much of it to be honest We started well and really took it to then but the discipline in that first 40 minutes was appalling Countless idiotic penalties across the 40 but for me Fardys high tackle on Cloete was the dumbes...

I felt Andy Dufresne when he got out Shawshank after that match tonight!!! Very very lucky but you can’t doubt the heart and will to win from them boys tonight 41 phases to score the winner and it was fitting it was porter who was outstanding Bench really added incredible impact from cronin to Ed Br...

Superb 55/60 mins that really put them away...last 20 was a bit disjointed more so to do with the fact we had it wrapped up and conditions worsened Lot said here about 2nd rows who I did think were superb but front row really laid the ground work by dismantling their scrum (I maybe be biased as a pa...

If it was the other way around, I would feel seriously aggreived about the Larmour intercept try. It was a terrible throw,which was quite obviously crocked. That should have been scrum advantage to Bath, but two passes later, it was an intercept. How they could say advantage over after two passes i...

If people thought we put in a rusty performance last night, after watching Munster game ours looked like the BaBas v New Zealand 1973 game!!!! Fair point GB2. In the debate over whether you should rest players before these games or have them playing continuously, I expected Munster to notch a '1-0'...

Way too much negativity on here post game Granted it was a scrappy performance but do people on here think Bath were going to ly down and get their bellies at home with a packed rec and their HC cups hopes hanging by a thread Factor into that the shocking conditions which I saw first hand and it was...

Full Leinster bench is impressive reading!!!! Very strong team and not much arguments to be made bar 1 or 2 gripes JVDF must be sick enough and I reckon Leavy will start against the ABs personally... Marmion over McGrath, not too much to be said I suppose I reckon another electric performance from L...

I think these few games will be Adam Byrne’s chance to impress / remind the fans that he still exists. I’d be happy to see Penney or Jack Kelly selected as a bencher for some of these games. Both seem to be faring well in the As, but might be too soon, Penney in particular since he’s not even 20 ye...

Has our lineout got worse this year? The last lineout loss (to the back through Toner's hands) was crucial as Toulouse owned the ball for the 2 or 3 minutes that were left. At first I assumed it was an over-throw but looking back Toner has no front lifter and does remarkably well to even get his fi...

Get that sense like a few on here that we didn’t respect the opposition and/or what the company means to tolouse as much of as we should... Started very shaky and looked a bit off both in attack and Defense and let them into the game from that Story of the first half showed this really James Lowe’s ...

Bit late with the post match analysis... Thought it was clinical stuff from minute 1 to 80 with no let up Yeh few mistakes (knock ons, couple dodgy throws, kick outs on the full) but the pace we played at these mistakes will happen...thought we ran into the ground in first 40 and they’d nothing left...

A good game, not a great game, but rarely these are Plenty of physicality and edge but like many here have said we were in 3rd gear and never drove on and buried them early which constantly gave them a sniff....fair play to Munster they threw everything into it but at the end of the day couldn’t get...

Thrilled with that performance tbh, steel in defense for 80 minutes and not an inch given Put them back in their box which was great to see I was at the game and some of their supporters are pretty average individuals who were even “he haw” calling Rhys for a knock on in the warm up, once they were ...
