Babbling 'brook

Ireland simply showed a total lack of respect and didn't take Scotland seriously. They assumed they'd rock up, steamroller over them and win at a canter. Would Ireland have turned down 2 kickable penalties against NZ/ Eng/ France etc early in the first half? I doubt it- they would get points on the...

With regards to Scotland's trick lineout to score the try, they've obviously seen a weakness in our defensive setup and have been able to exploit it. In my eyes the system fails at the front man. Rory Best should not be standing facing the hooker. All that achieves is watching the pop back to the h...

I'm simply amazed at how little discussion there has been over what seems to me to be much bigger issues: Sexton; replacement outhalf. I had a thought earlier that if Paddy plays really well in the next two games (I'm assuming Johnny won't be back until the French game at the earliest) then does he...

An absolute gentleman. So Sad. Condolences to his family & Munster Rugby

I must say, as someone who often gets uber frustrated with him, Sean Cronin was excellent today. Did the running that he usually does, but also was perfect in set piece. More of that please. McGrath played probably his poorest half of the season. A bit better in 2nd, and JGP wasn't exactly Aaron Sm...

Carberry looks a star already - really impressive. Seems like we are on the march again and we have a great squad to choose from - perhaps lacking some explosive pace. Lancaster must get a lot of praise for his input; he is the main man there and hope he gets full support from all. Hope also that h...

No Jordi ? and would love to see Mick Kearney there. Does he have an issue. He was on sheet last week for As

Looking for a Pub around Hendon, London to watch match tomorrow. Any ideas ?

Yes. Was very impressed with Leavy

This may seem like a strange question but why is Lukr McGrath Captain ?
Nothing against the guy but I presume Leo is selecting Captains !!!!!
I would have thought we would of had a lot more senior players suitable to the role ??

Very exciting @ times just a pity about the result. Little bit more organisation needed

Roll on 3pm

We can do this

This is fantastic. He was an English coach you couldn't not like. He whipped them into shape but was not a huge ego. Obviously he was struggling for a good job but he looks like someone who'll be back at the top very soon and Leinster is a good role. He got them playing better rugby, playing as a t...

Just had a look @ new profile pics. Incredible, just how bad the quality is. Agree 100%

Opportunity for the young guys without too much pressure !!!

They will be the future. Learning curve. Will be great to see Porter, Dooley, Nagle, Morris get a run out. Should be an exciting match. Looking forward to it.

Terrible news. Best of look to him with his new career. Will be a huge loss for Leinster especially.

A fantastic achievement for him. Well done.

From 55 minutes on, the team was wrecked but he left players with real impact on the bench until 10 minutes from time when we were two scores down. He let his team down today cause as bad as we were,they were shite too and the game was there to be won.

+1

Best of luck to Eoin Reddan with his future. He will be missed hugely next season by Leinster.

If we can mentally put ourselves back to the point where we started the First Test and tackle accordingly, which was what created the win that day, we have a real chance. We have learned a lot about them and a few of our players have added vital experience, Marshall, Payne, Jackson, Furlong, Roux a...
