Babbling 'brook

The difference in reaction from Hugh Cahill between Cardiff scoring a try and Leinster scoring a try is kinda hilarious

He was getting treatment before being substituted. Commentary said some sort of hand or arm injury.

He was holding his arm a bit precariously as he arrives at the ruck just before that (the one where Clarkson & Barron have a way a penalty counter rucking)

It's hard not to comment on it every game. That pass to Osborne for the block down was dreadful, and it's not as if he was rushed or under pressure.

Apparently it's Oli Jager that's a doubt for the England game, hence Bealham being called back in.

Maybe they want to give England a chance?

This Snyman chap might be a decent signing for next season

Decent game this. Munster up 12-10 after 22 mins and playing with 14 for the next 10

I'd love if Leo took a risk and started a young 9, but we know if Luke is healthy he will start these games. A blind spot for LC. Our two most underrated players: Ross Byrne and Luke McGrath. They would be game changers for all the other teams in the URC. That's a bit of a push. Munster's 9,10 &...

Split up the French / English games and take one of them to Croke Park annually. Offer GAA for a Leinster Football Final annually when Dublin reach Final (favoured by other 11 counties) As in offer them a game in Lansdowne Road? Would the pitch be big enough for a football game? "Field sizes&q...

Would have definitely thought so too

Murray Kinsella on Twitter: Ball-in-play time for Ireland vs. Wales was huge at 44 minutes and 21 seconds, according to Opta. One passage in second half lasted an incredible 7 mins and 6 secs!!! Average BIP time at last year's World Cup was 34 minutes and 18 seconds. Average passage lasted 30 second...

I'm not talking about his quality as a winger. He's an exceptional winger. I'm talking about one single quality - his speed. Not his composure, not his strength, not his skill under the high ball or indeed - anything else. The Wales player kicks the ball at 61.40 and Lowe is running back Ith a colo...

I was trying to think about Ulster's player development pathway. Like ourselves a lot of the best Ulster players come through schools. To be specific grammar schools. Every year it feels like there's a few Ulster players that the folk on the Ulster forum talk up dropping rugby between U18 and U20. ...

Irfu topping up contracts of Murray and Pom is probably the win we’d have hoped for. Will be interesting to see how Pom staying affects some of the rumoured signings. Dillane deegan and sokora all apparently approached…I suspected one may sign now doubtful. Burns seems to be signed. Unspectacular b...

I can't understand how Stockdale remains in camp.I suppose it's a real lack of options. He's still on a central contract AFAIK. He has a high ceiling and if there's an issue in the Ulster camp (as there appears to be) he's better off and has a better chance of being productive with time in the Irel...

Fingers crossed

Well they had a printed picture of him in the window of the coaches box, right in front of Andrew Goodman, at the game at the weekend.
I'm taking that as a hint public confirmation on their part.

Quite enjoy Donal Lenihan's pronounciation of "Shnyman" on ATH

Did anyone else notice that, and does anyone know why, there was a printed picture of Sexton (I think) in the window of the coaches box?
