Babbling 'brook

You can boo Keatley your own player but don't boo Roggie.
They have been called out for hypocrisy on booing.

Stephen Jones in the Sunday Times talking about the semi. There's so many holes in his argument that it's impossible he can't see them. He just likes being controversial. "They will face Leinster, who beat La Rochelle 40-13, in the semi-final, and in a massive shock, Leinster are not hosting i...

Woke up this morning with no voice, what an atmosphere at the game and made me so proud to be part of this Leinster family. You always want to pick out players after a game like this but the simple fact is that in my eyes nearly every one of our lads had a minimum 8 out of ten performance. Delighte...

I have friends, who are Munster fans, believe or not, and they were cheering for Leinster today. I'm sure they weren't the only ones. The other eejits are just trying to get under our skin. It's better we ignore them. I'm not slagging them all off, just the specific ones wearing jerseys to this mat...

Great team there the Ospreys, once were Galactico's.

Always had of gad a bit grá for Milne, Clarkson is improving his all round game all the while thinking it's just Cardiff.

Yeah happy with PT and yc.
Bringing down a maul for example even when a try is scored people forget is dangerous play, often worthy of a yc.

That guy was a Leinster fan who hangs out there for an extra place to talk about rugby online. oldschoolsocks? he seems to be mostly defending our corner and players on there. not sure why. there's a very vocal minority on there that have serious chips on the shoulders against leinster. facts, reas...

Nice to see Murray K on against the head. It was but I don’t see how Lenihan didn’t think Beirne broke his bind/ did but it really didn’t matter. He did and it did. I thought the contentious ref decisions for us were calling advantage over after five seconds with no advantage. One on a double penal...

Nice to see Murray K on against the head.

Our Lock options are truly in good health at the moment. 11 tackles from Ryan in the short time he was on the pitch is some return when you consider the highest was Doris with 19. Some of our provincial cousins are talking about JRs form dropping off a cliff. Shows what they know. One guy on MF men...

Well said.

Never impressed with Jager in the scrum.

Apparently there was an article in the Telegraph about the 6N's decision to scrap the away jersey protocol in an attempt to 'modernise' the tournament. I'm sorry but I'm a "tradition, neither make or break" kind of guy. https://static.thcdn.com/productimg/130/130/13975916-1675060786304381...

****in' hate it. Had to hit the mute button on the remote each time. Trying to manufacture atmosphere. Like the Saffers playing the refrain to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" every 5 minutes or the Aussies with "You're the voice". I hate "dad rock" being played at rugb...

8 year old Stevie Mulrooney to blast out Irelands call at the Aviva.

That was a staggering win. The atmosphere in the stadium before kick-off was charged and really emphasised that FRANCE were playing somebody else , not that there was a rugby match between two national teams, or that it was the start of a big tournament. It was all about the home side. It seemed li...

I see Hugh O'Sullivan is playing well in an average Newcastle side, I don't remember much about him from the time he played here. Was back and forth with Nick McCarthy for 3 years for the 3rd choice scrumhalf spot. Was generally behind McCarthy and there isn't enough game time for 4th choice scrumh...

Its a long time since I’ve enjoyed a score as much as that last try. What a mad end to a match, I’d say it was great for neutrals. I’m still pretty down on that performance though, and surprised by the positivity here. I agree there was some really good individual performances. Tadhg looked like hi...
