Babbling 'brook

I find it hilarious that this stuff bothers people. And also hilarious that all sides feel its biased against them. Yerman sounds smug. Some people find that iritating. Maybe it's just his style and others find it funny or maybe less bland. No big deal. Nothing to see here. Whether it's "D4 me...

This year's trip to SA is very akin to last year's. Underresourced team. Surely we could have given Kelleher and Conan and Connors much needed game time? Andrew Osborne has got more opportunities than merited to my mind. His defensive reading makes Stockdale look good. But maybe that is down to our...

No clue why this means we can't keep our seats. Cause the people currently sitting at the bottom half of the "D" won't have a seat (and maybe those in the first row or two if that's where the subs bench goes). So either they move those people down the very end (bit unfair) or they have to...

Go easy signs off rte programme with “Leinster have the money Munster have the points” and O’Callaghan contradicts everything he said at start of programme about Munster not able to compete financially. That said delighted to see Bulls drop 4 points and they will miss Goosen for some games. I think...

Is that back of a beermat calculation?

Went back to start of rte coverage.First question go easy asks Donnacha the smiling buffoon is about Jordie Barrett and Doc says it was the most financially flexing week by any team ever in World rugby(French teams????). Utter garbage. Jordie Barrett has made it quite clear that he isn't joining us...

I’ll be overjoyed to win this one. Heat and altitude combined are a great leveller

If you were like me and thought cardiff were hard done by tonight, check out this ultra slowed down clip which makes it clear and shows the knock on before it comes off the shoulder of the ulster player.. https://twitter.com/RugbyKino/status/1781425993325916520 credit were it's due: well done TMO, ...

I’d get rid of the rest of that post if I were you.

What was this? It's been edited/removed. A genuine transfer rumour or something else.

It was edited for good reason

:oops: Full paragraph: "All male and female players in the XVs and sevens games, including the academies, are centrally contracted to at least some extent by the IRFU. Accordingly, they can all be called up to training sessions, development tours, A games and so forth. Deducting the 12 to 16 pl...

That’s not fair, being upset and posting online doesn’t make someone a scumbag. Would appreciate if you could rescind that comment I echo the view of OSS on your description of that Munsterfans poster. Expressing his or hers opinion on attendance at Ireland games doesn’t mean he or she is a scumbag...

Gerry breaks down central deals: https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/2024/04/17/blue-bloods-irfu-national-contract-system-will-continue-to-load-the-dice-in-leinsters-favour/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter reveals JGP going to get bumped up. Each contract is underpinned by the union on...

Priceless stuff. Leinster replace Ngatai with Barrett so.... Waterfordlad I've been a member of Irish Rugby Supporters Club since 2008, mainly for access to tickets/events. No more, I'm done. The power of one. It's a small thing at 50 euros a year but I'm quitting on principle. I'll still support M...

Yup, I’ll miss Molony. Great servant to the province

Welcome aboard Jordie

It would mean sending a bigger squad and paying for extra flights. Not everyone can afford a week in Fota to save 6 hours travel time. Jenkins has played 3 weeks in a row, 15 games this season and with Ryan gone we're tighter at lock. The only upside is that he'd be glad of a trip home. If we don't...

Interesting rumour circulating about a very high profile signing coming up for Leinster It'll annoy the hell out of all the right people One would imagine a Tighthead. I can't see where we need to fill a gap unless we're looking for a Ngatai replacement also I heard Antoine Frische may be finishing...

Can we have two threads next time? 1. Leinster v Northampton - Rugby only. No ROG, no Munster, no commentary on journalists or social media comments unless and only to the extent that they refer to tactics, selections etc. 2. Leinster v Northampton - Whatever. ROG, Munster, commentary on journalist...

Yeah- but seemingly no one else’s it… or TV recordings have it on tape. It does, however, explicitly record that he’s not fond of the notoriety, which answers the question asked, no? Who , other than just possibly a sociopath, would actually be fond of notoriety? Doesn’t really answer anything. All...
