Babbling 'brook

A word aswell for John Dobson. It has been great to see him grow as a coach over the last two seasons and embrace European rugby. What he has done for the Stormers is truly remarkable. Very well spoken, and very possibly a future Bok Head Coach. I think if youd told SA fans before the URC started th...

Delighted for our Munster brothers, fitting for OMahony and Earls, well deserved. This Munster season makes me believe magic is real!

Jenkins chance to shine

Its an absolute disgrace. Government doing nothing about it aswell. Caps need to be put depending on the quality of the establishment/rooms. Anyone charging that for sharing with 11 other people should be EXTREMELY heavily taxed.

There is nothing more Leinster than Ronnie Drew singing the auld triangle

Carty did literally everything he could to hand the game to Ulster, and still they couldnt capitalise. The Ulster fans honestly deserve a lot better. Only their two hookers were good, I dont think anyone from Ulster has done themselves any favours with Andy Farrell this evening

Delighted with this, and look forward seeing Jacques' plans in action after the WC! A true student of the game. Will be great to get him on board.

Im getting from Hansens piece that what hes really saying is, lets see if they can do any better than me. Theres no doubt that it is derogatory comment, which tbh I don't think is fitting of the man. We've clearly got him upset!

Tbh, I dont think theres any much malice in it on either forum, even tho I dont take part in it myself. A bit of banter adds colour! Toss of a coin between Molony and Kleyn. If I had to pick, I think Kleyn at this moment in time, is more battle hardened, however Molony has got called up on merit. Ei...

Someone gonna have to scrape poor ole Fickou up off the ground after this one...

I prefer seeing real, legitimate blood on the jerseys, thanks

I dont think Hansens form has been as good this year as it was last year. For me even someone like Jordan Larmour has been playing better. Im pretty sure Connors has played every position in the back row, so it wouldnt just be Josh hed be competing with, and lets not forget Connors had that jersey b...

Very surprised Tomkins isnt starting in the center, (he is an excellent defender, and underrated) You could be on to something with Gatland wanting us to start people we wouldnt otherwise, also annoucing the team early to try give us headaches. Personally Id go McCloskey, he played well in the autum...

Very nice list, but I agree with people that Connors and Conway could easily be first choice, especially Conway, he's been brilliant for Ireland and wouldnt be a bit surprised if he takes that jersey back from Hansen before the WC

Honestly , if he doesnt get cited for that clear as day flying headbutt theres something very wrong. I think he thinks he's still playing American football

Personally I would not trust Hansen or Job starting at fullback at international level yet. We all saw how the Henshaw experiment turned out. Haley is 27 I think, so hes not exactly approaching walking stick territory just yet. I have absolutely no doubt that he is the 2nd best fullback in the count...

Cant understand how Haley has not made the squad tbh. We are short on good fullbacks and besides Keenan, hes the only one whos been playing in the position consistantly well. As many have said Earls v v lucky, Larmour clearly ran rings around him the last time they played. I can understand the inclu...

Stockdale really lucky to get in imo. Mike Haley has been playing really well lately, Hodnett must be getting close aswell

Lowe, Ringrose,Doris amazing again. Looks like Sexton needed that 20 mins to shake some rust. A shoutout to Charlie Ngatai who despite a few mistakes has been getting consistantly better as the season has gone on, and seems to be really adapting now to the northern hemisphere, and the way we are pla...

Pure class, Josh has developed into a true warrior. Huge congrats
