Babbling 'brook

Having read Thornley's comments and saw highlights (did you hear that Sky, HIGHLIGHTS), what the hell was up with Sarrie's last pealty? How the fock was Leo pinged for not rolling away? Appalling decision. Leo was called for offside. He was in front of the back foot when the ball came out, and then...

So how was the evening? Any interesting Qs or As?

You're a gent and a schol, Dave. Much appreciated.

That was really funny!

Is it bad that I thought no.7 was wearing a sumo suit?!

No4 had me crying. I had to watch it over and over.

Any chance of the Lulster/Cunster match tries getting put up? The RTE player doesn't work for those of us in Yankland.

Murphy was central to Leicester’s wins in 2000 and 2002.

He was?

If they want to reduce kicking in the game, they need to stop tinkering with the laws, and instead change the aerodynamics and/or weight of the ball. When the likes of Kearney, Lee Byrne, Steyn and Carter can kick nearly the length of the field, of course their teams are going to take advantage of t...

We're not short on 7's. We need hookers. O'Brien is on the bench for tomorrow, and with everyone fit we have Jennings and O'Brien in the 22 ahead of Strauss for 7, as well as Ryan backing them up. If Strauss can make the team at hooker next season, great. But if he can't, then we shouldn't be shoeho...

It's gotta be disco den for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m47gK-qTQM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA6vdKNuKro Has the try he set up for Tyrone Howe against South Africa ever been put up on youtube? And if not, does someone out there have it to do so? I remember it as being one of the best fi...

Remember it well, mind you he didn't let him get to his feet, could have been a pen... A myth that's been floating around rugby ever since that happened. The problem wasn't that Geoghegan didn't let Andrew get back to his feet, the problem was that Geoghegan went off his feet to tackle Andrew at fi...

“This is my club. I definitely couldn’t coach another club in the league. I couldn’t coach against Leinster. I know it’s bad, or maybe it’s good, I’m not sure, but I couldn’t do it to my club, you know? That’s how I feel.” Know exactly how you feel MC. Straight from the Matt Williams (I mean Aussie...

Still wouldn't mind seeing McGeechan get the gig The man who selected Vickery at tight head against the lions? That's a mad statement altogether! It's not as if Vickery didn't have the pedigree, not too many people were disagreeing at the time, and to be fair to the man, he hasn't had too many game...

Wasn't that Cheika's stated aim when he took over Leinster? To have a players capable of playing for Ireland in every position?

Think we can safely say mission accomplished when he leaves at the end of the season.

Whereas I am a big fan of Shaggy's I don't think inundating Ireland's most successful coach of all time with letters will amount to anything. I would really hope the Irish team wouldn't be picked on the basis of fans writing letters to the coach. We would've had 14 Munster players + BOD for the las...

Looking at the A squad again I wonder will McFadden be played at 12 and Cave at 13? I'd like to see that. Also disappointed Caldwell wasn't called up to that. He's off on medical leave, having a brain put in apparently. Thats not completely correct Donny. They're actually just removing the current ...

I'd say he'll play until he's dropped. Not the type to retire. He doesn't get injured much (contact dodger that he is!) so I wouldn't be surprised if he was still around. Presuming they take 3 OHs to the RWC, he'll probably be there with Sexton and Humpreys or Keatley. Hopefully he'll have ironed o...

I'll give you the D'Arcy one, but there's no way you could credit Gaffney in ANY way for the other two! Point still stands. I dunno Jezzer, for the Fitz one, though it came from broken play, the way the players committed their man before offloading (esp Shaggy) to put Fitz in a one on one is someth...

Of the tries in the semi, D'Arcy's was directly off a lineout, Fitzgerald's was after a few phases of structured play off a lineout near halfway, and BOD's was an intercept after several phases of Munster possession around the Leinster 22. As for Saturday, I thought we were very laboured across the ...

I should've known you wouldn't have let me down like that, Dave!

Have to say I think O'Driscolls first try in the 06 Toulouse match is one of my favourites. Saw it described recently (possibly this site) as the perfect try. That nobody on the Toulouse side actually did anything wrong in the entire move it was simply a magic moment of rugby when everything clicke...
