Babbling 'brook

THat may all very well be. AS I said he won't be playing 15 for my team or we'll take it off the field. And we will put him down.

Horgan poor on Saturday should start on bench. If Nacewa is going to start should not be at out half he cannot play there put Contemponi back at out half. Can I ask did Kearney not realise the time was up on Saturday when he kicked the ball back the last time? I was getting images of Wasps scoring ...

....anyhoo...time to draw a line under saturdays match and focus on next sunday. A bonus point win secures qualification and a regular win gives us a shout at qualification. Presuming that CJ, Stan and Leo are out through injury, and that Mal is out through suspension, I'd go with the following (th...

Rgardless of this decision no citings have ever taken place before in inter pro games. Why have Connacht turned around and done so now. The Fogerty incident would be deemed by a court as assault and possibly therefore something had to be done there but the Jennings thing happens all the time on a ru...

I agree with tht Doc. Felipe will start 10 I think and the centres could well be Darce and BOD. From reading different reports Darce has been moving into the centre a lot in training matches and drills. Hopefully we will see a backline of 10 Feleip 11 Keogh 12 Darce 13 BOD 14 Luke 15 Rob With Nacew...

I fully understand why. Amended above.

Well done Shane. Pity he didn't top it with one if his rampaging specials down the righthand touchline- came very close though. Fully expect him to be involved next week and against Edinburgh. The fickle sheep on here tend to have short memories and not great knowledge of quality.

Hope he doesn't go any where. Slammed it in the face of those intelligent "supporters" on here recently claiming he was a bad kicker, not an outhalf , and past it. Well done Felipe, I hope you bleed a massive contract out of the branch. You deserve it.

I think it's more than an experiment. IMO he will be FB for national team in the future if not this season.

Ror Can you do more research before ranting in this manner.

It's a let off that Williams isn't playing for them. Should be interesting to see how O'Brien gets on in the loose or if he goes missing in action. I think they usually keep the ball in open play and go through many phases. Hopefully we can spread them thin and break their defence.

In fairness I don't think the high ball is a good tactic for this team.

Pretty much full-strength apart from Martyn Williams and Ben Blair who's place-kicking is so important for them. But a very strong team and a really impressive bench. Might be worth sticking a few garryowen's up on Halfpenny , providing the chase is good of course. Nice to see Jamie Roberts back af...

Can't beleive that Fogarty only got one week. We are lucky that SOB is about and I know that he will make the most of it. First choice Back row cover in match day twenty two Keogh maybe? So does anyone know the exact dates and ML and HEC games that both players miss? Would like to see Keogh get a b...

K1 tournaments are far superior. Far more entertaining and better athletes. Bob Sapp V Ray Sefo was awesome. Steamtrain, K1 is a freak show, very few decent fights. It's like a real life version of Street Fighter 2 Very true. That's why I prefer it. I'm pretty sure they are the better athletes or f...

Jennings forearmed yerman from behind. It was a closeline which put him down. Not a touch on what Fogerty did no matter how sneakey Donny thinks it was. The decision is a disgrace.

If Jennings threw one unprovoked punch no matter how defenseless the person on the recieving end it cannot in any conceivable way shape or form be worse than Fogerty's assault on a trapped defenseless person inder a ruck with no arms free to defend himself no matter what the provocation. Absolutely ...

Felipe and Manuel Contepomi Jonny and Mark Wilkinson Isitolo and Finau Maka Rico and Hosea Gear Henry and Robbie Paul (Henry got caps for England in RU while both are RL internationals for NZ) Delon and Steffon Armitage (who I think may have an older brother who's also a pro) Trevor and Ray Hogan D...

Ah you must mean Mike Keating. Keatley played for 'tarf last season so that's why I thought you meant him. Don't know too much about Keating, although as you say he's been scoring a few tries for Clontarf alright. Just thought I'd bring this back up front. When are the 20's playing this season - wo...

I would like to add appreciation and thanks to Rocky for signing and lifting the general level of forward play. Without him we would be in big trouble up front this season. He is the only international standard forward on display at the moment barring Jackman. Jennings and Heaslip are generally bel...
