Babbling 'brook

Basically, if Henshaw, McGrath, VDF or Conan get injured we are absolutely f%~ked next week anyway as we have no cover

Tomorrow midday

Like the team, would go with the same selection myself. Fardy put in a massive shift against Munster [best performance of the season from him] but it would be asking too much of him to do the same again on a short turn around. We'll have to play it very fast against them, but I think that we have t...

You can't expect Larkham to come out and be a realist (ie all doom and gloom) a few days before a game that will be either total redemption or absolute disaster. And Munster are a good team, one of the very best in Europe, that's a fact. Their record in Europe is testament to that and they are one ...

Was enjoying Woodie being depressed at just how rubbish Munster were last Saturday until 4 minutes in when he came out with the auld “Leinster outmunstered Munster” line. Does the man have an original thought in his head, he’s so obviously still living in the early to late 2000s when being “munster...

If he is, I'd definitely bench him instead of Molony also.

He has the sheer size and power we might need in a backrow sub.

He has a broken nose, Leinster have been quiet about him in the injury updates

If Munster win it's down to a mythical and spiritual intangibles that only they posses or can understand. If they lose it's because Leinster have a population comparable to that of India and the DART has school children riding on the outside every morning on their way to rugby development academy p...

Just watched highlights of Lyon Toulon. Not one to make sweeping assumptions after a 3 minute video package but Toulon look slow if you move them from the tight exchanges. Lyon could give Exeter a shock

It’s funny how quickly the narrative has changed from - “Munster have a better team on paper” to - “Munster don’t have the players to compete” again..... Munster had an excellent team out there yesterday with some really promising young guys coming through (think Coombes looks v good) but as usual t...

10 more years!!!!

Has a team ever offered less in a final!!! Absolutely brilliant. Farewell CJ!

I’m obviously in the minority of Leinster fans who support absolutely everybody against Munster (Saracens the only one where I hope they both lose somehow). If I live to 100 and never saw Munster win another trophy I’d be a very happy man To hell with Political correctness ... :D :D It probably hel...

For those commenting on Josh Murphy he, like Penny, is injured, Leinster just haven’t announced it yet

It's already too much.......

Expect to hear something like this: Healy, Kelleher, Porter Dev, Fardy Rhys, Conan, JVdF Luke,Ross B Dave K, RO'L, Henshaw, Larmour Keenan Bench: Treacy, Byrne, Furlong, Molony, Baird, JGP, J10, Lowe Pretty disappointing from Josh Murphy’s perspective if they select two 2nd rows ahead of him on the...

Hearing rumours penny has a broken hand

Do elaborate. Hopefully it’s another World Cup winner. My understanding is he’s a bit of an unknown. Not 100% sure on this but my understanding is An agreement was made before zebo became available and Munster now don’t have the funds to go after him. IRFU refused to supplement. I’d be surprised if...

So Stander hasn’t even left these shores yet and Munster have already signed a replacement back row from SA (yet to be announced). This is despite having Cloete already and talent coming through. Joke. Desperate to win this but really can’t see how given the teams that have been floated and hunger ...

Having a strong bench to come on for the last 30 minutes could be the winning of this game. Furlong (fingers crossed), kelleher, Fardy and VDF coming on is essentially a mirror of why Saracens beat us last year in newcastle
