Babbling 'brook

Folks...more rumours and less of the rest, please

6 episodes in. All a bit disappointing really. I wonder if a non rugby person would even understand how the tournament works with no explanation of the points system and the concept of a table with no climactic play-off. Nor indeed is there even a brief explanation of how points in a match are scor...

I moved house and haven't gotten my sh!t together - or rather unpacked a lot of my sh!t!

Haven't fallen out at all, still good pals, though John has no idea where I live now. Mwah hah hah

Don't worry. I still know.

Match Preview It's the commentator's nightmare once again! Leicester.., sorry what was that, Leinster? v Leinster.., sorry what was that, Leicester? Leinster are qualified after three games and Leicester could well lose tomorrow and still be qualified as well. In fact it would take a very odd resul...

Take it to the rant thread

Match Preview Leinster suffered only their second defeat of the season on New Year's day at home to Ulster. Fair play to Ulster, they studied Leinster's blitz defence and exploited it smartly through a superb display of attacking kicking by Billy Burns. Leinster dominated possession and territory b...

Lads, calm the fcuk down.

Match Preview Leinster take on Ulster in the new year's day game in what will be their last URC fixture for seven weeks. A win will maintain their spot on top of the table for the break. The Munster game was another tough challenge due to the horrendous weather conditions. It wasn't a pretty game t...

Jager was going to be done anyway I think.

I've no idea why they didn't go uncontested. Tom Court special.

I think they would have been down to 13, so a try would have been much more likely.

Zebo looks delighted

Ballsy / crazy call. Delete at appropriate.

Listen lads, it's easy to kick a 60 metres penalty in the south of France, but it's a completely different beast to do the same on a dirty night in Limerick.

Coombes was cleared out there and came back in on the ball again

That's a horrible miss from Crowley

Merry Christmas to me

Match Preview Leinster take on Munster for the second time in five weeks after mixed fortunes in Europe for both clubs in their previous games. Leinster beat Sale at home but made harder work of it than expected. Sale reacted belligerently to being called a team of dirt-trackers and produced a spir...
