Babbling 'brook

To be fair - one of them did work for Northampton! I wonder if that's the lad we met last time we won in Northampton in 2019. Met him, his girlfriend, and parents sitting next to us (we were 2 couples) in a restaurant. We were almost apologetically gracious after the comprehensive win. While his pa...

The wonder of AI.

My attention has been drawn to the Sky Sports schedule for today:

Jeepers, the boys are not being given much of a break!

2021: lost to La Rochelle by nine points.
2022: lost by three.
2023: lost by one.

We are getting there slowly but surely.

Horrific match, devastated. Got assaulted by La Rochelle fans in the aviva aswell. Next season we need some cajones i think, just be absolutely ruthless. Jack Boyle needs minutes, Prendergast needs minutes, we need more than 1 big boot on the pitch at one time. Desperately need another tighthead pr...

And what's this nonsense of hoping Munster go on and win it. Is there no memory here? They don't want us to win. They dont want us to win ever. The vast majority creamed themselves when a lad from Cark coached a team that beat us. Coached ffs. I hope they are beaten like red headed step children. I...

We were more comfortable than I thought we'd be in winning it. My only worry going into the final would be our scrum which took a hammering. Furlong looked absolutely wrecked out there after 30 mins. I'd be seriously concerned if we got into another arm-wrestling match in the finals against LR. Eh?...

Lads and lassies, enough of the negativity. We're the top side in Europe this year, have swept away everyone who has come before us with an incredibly well drilled team full of test level talent playing at home in a game we've been preparing for for 3 weeks now. Ignore the absentees (of which Toulo...

Maybe "Taken the shilling and bought some soup to sip"? i'm not sure what we're doing anymore :shock: Roughly speaking ‘soup’ is religious; ‘shilling’ is cultural. The Shilling was the nominal payment presented to a recruit when they signed up to serve in the British armed forces up to th...

Shouldn’t that be “taken the shilling”?

Thought it was “sipped the soup” myself

At HT Leinster 'are in a real dogfight'. At FT Leinster 'haven't really been tested'.

Sounds better than the BT Sport's coverage which was Premiership Rugby and friends level coverage

BOD has really “taken the soup”

Shouldn’t that be “taken the shilling”?

Let's take a broader view of matters:
Yet another Munster defeat → a seismic shock to Munster morale → camel's back broken → slow but irreversible decline → greater pressure on Leinster to prop up the Irish team → more crucial injuries to vital Leinster players...

Have just listened to Birch describing it as a 'disaster' for Leinster: the cap busters can now concentrate on this one match to the exclusion of everything else.

It's hard not to feel a tincture of schadenfreude.

Just got the result on the RTE website. I was wondering if it was a soccer match.

It's getting a little repetitive now dude. We didn't lose that game because of Garces. I genuinely agree. Leinster lost due to a combination of factors. But it's little things....like Fardy yellowed immediately, yet it took 5/6 pens for saracens for a yellow to be called. Like Itoje leading with th...
