Babbling 'brook

I can't believe Crowley didn't go for 3 points when they were down a man and 2 points behind. Madness.

Knocking France out in a QF would be even more sublime after this week mind you. That would be a cathartic experience.

Baird open and ignored How are people still claiming this? Someone posted a screengrab that totally misrepresented the situation. Baird wasn't ignored: there was a LAR player lying all over the ball; as JGP was drying to dig it out, he got dragged into the ruck by a player on the ground; Baird then...

Yes great story , if you have more than just this one , I would pay you for a book because you look like a great story teller, even your dreams seems true like. You spoke about Alsacian rugby fans ... it's like Brazilian rugby fans , no rugby in Alsace man , they don't know nothing about rugby and ...

I found this (deserved) loss very hard to take. But I am finding the aftermath (which I am trying to avoid as much as possible) really unseemly. It will take me a long time to recover from this weekend. But I don't think I will ever again have any time for the Irish rugby media. And, while I actual...

I really felt like we should have brought on Luke McGrath around the 60th minute. Gibson Park was playing like his nerves were totally shredded for that second half. Not just his kicking game, but his decision making in general was totally off. There was a moment (image below) where there a total m...

Can't see Ryan getting replaced barring injury.

You'll remember him when I show you a picture of him:

Bring the f%~kers on. This is our city and our cup.

The Irish Times Gordon D’Arcy: Leinster are favourites against La Rochelle - but for me, the odds are stacked against them Leo Cullen has big decisions to make regarding Caelan Doris and Jason Jenkins For the first time since I retired, a Munster victory over Leinster really stung.

Between having to hunt down tickets and then the Munster game and then the frustration about the Munster game, I haven't had a chance to get nervous until now. But it's definitely hit me today! It's going to be immense. Can't wait. My fear is a tight game. I think we have a chance of winning well, b...

Going down the depth chart shouldn’t hurt us massively during rwc next season apart from half back. We’re going to lose one of loughman or killer (or neither). No other front rower likely bar bubonic plaque outbreak. Beirne and sygman but with EdEd and Aherne fit hopefully they will balance out. Po...

What we need is a rabid Rassie Erasmus style video montage. That'll fix everything.

Time to move on lads. We screwed it up. Especially that last 4 minutes.

Today resale opened on ticketmaster for your information. More weekend tickets than single tickets for the final though. A small number have shown up during the day and they're gone in a minute or so. If you keep refreshing the relevant pages, you might get lucky. A couple of friends got tickets tha...

Why do people care who cheers for who? I don't quite understand the relevance. Are we care bears with magic powers to make a difference through shining care beams from our chests or something? I couldn't care less what people in the world want Leinster to win, who would see it as totally irrelevant ...

Word of advice for everyone, don’t quit the forum while Frank is still reffing. It’s been over 24 hours and I still haven’t been able to vent properly, just a matter of time before I explode. But congrats to Munster and best of luck in the final. Good to hear from you! You're always welcome in thes...

Have to say it’s rather funny watching Munster fans cream their jocks over this result when they’re gonna end the season in 2 weeks time without a trophy, again. The scenes on the pitch and in the stands at full time reminded me of how Mayo fans and players reacted when they beat Dublin in an all I...

Username checks out.

I had forgotten how much it hurts to lose a serious game against Munster. First thought I had when I woke this morning. Infinitely more painful than the Bulls last year.
