Babbling 'brook

The Hill will be packed and the stands will be half empty bit of a joke by EPCR novelty of croker might tempt more to go but I think you're right. if they don't get a full house, their price policy (only dropping prices on cat4) will be embarrassing and not good optics for the competition on telly....

what's the cross over now between Dublin GAA & Leinster fans?

I saw quite a few Dublin and Wicklow GAA tops sitting around me at the challenge cup final last year in Dublin, which turned out to be leinster fans who had weekend tickets (same seat for both finals).

thought Ross's performance on saturday puts him in strong contention for the Irish 10 jersey. happy to be proven wrong but Farrell is big on merit based selections.

Can’t see much point in that signing at all. We need, in that order, a second row, wing and tighthead. With Henshaw, Ringrose, Osborne, Turner, Frawley, JOB, Keenan and some good academy prospects, I can’t see the point in signing at 12/15. It’s a hell of a lot of money for not much need. However, ...

Barrett is a FB isn’t he? Don’t really understand why we’ve signed him as we have Keenan, Frawley and JOB who can play FB and Wing. Would have thought that we have a more pressing need at THP in the light of Alalatoa’s impending departure. Jordi is the ultimate unity player: full back, centre, out ...

If you wanted short term cover to compensate for the loss of any of those players, you literally couldn't sign a better player than Jordie Barrett 100% agree with this. So many key players gone during 6N. JB's mainly been an inside centre but can play FB, OH and sometimes on the wing . fantastic si...

inside centre mainly. but can play FB, wing and OH.

wow. that would have munsterfans.com in meltdown. they are still seething after the Snyman snag.

Possibly a new addition to the coaching setup?

NZ is 18,000kms away, right?

EPCR have set their prices for Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton at Croke Park on average at €10 lower than was the case for the clash between Leinster and Toulouse at the same juncture at the Aviva Stadium last season. The average price for a ticket for last year’s semi-final...

You can boo Keatley your own player but don't boo Roggie. They have been called out for hypocrisy on booing. Munster fans need to reel their necks in a little. https://i.ibb.co/Kx2qpWz/image.png https://www.balls.ie/rugby/ian-keatley-reveals-profound-effect-booed-munster-fans-personal-life-362409

You can boo Keatley your own player but don't boo Roggie. They have been called out for hypocrisy on booing. I remember being in Thomond when Heaslip was booed while going off injured, he was Ireland captain at the time. [emoji849] I know munster fans are hurting...1 win from 5 in Europe is not a g...

There is a new proposal for 2028 is the 8 teams that make it to the quarter finals of the champions cup will join 8 teams from outside Europe to compete in a World Championship Eight teams from the Champions Cup will qualify for the new global event, six from Super Rugby and two more, probably from ...

JohnG did a decent job of analysing the run in for the top teams. Leinster need 4 out of 5 to get top spot with the Bulls run in.

Ah look there's clowns in every fan base. I can also give the anecdotes of Leinster dopes and I've seen Munster dopes. Munster fans have been in second place for 15 years after a period of being on top. They have their own expectations and their own disappointments. The way some Munster fans might ...

Kidney was the guy who walked out on Leinster to our then-biggest rivals the day of our biggest game of the season. He was despised by Leinster fans, players, and Leinster Rugby after that. He still got the Irish job and was, for a short time, successful with it Yea but my point is that Leinsters i...
