Babbling 'brook

I reckon earls may have played his way off the first 15 after that performance. Earls has demonstrated his inability to defence properly yet again, it's been flagged here plenty of times over the years, but doesn't look like he getting any better. Lions or no Lions, he is not World Class. Nothing a...

Is he leading VDM astray

DK has made the opposite mistake to EOS, namely playing a four game tournament before the world cup Pool stage. We are over cooked now, not under cooked. Frankly I don't think we have ever got to the boil let alone over cooked - totally underwhelming performances in each match - maybe some positive...

England pack average weight was 114.5kg, sad that an England team reverting to type pre RWC can brutalise Ireland in such a manner.

Interestingly he took down the tweets after an hour or so.

FROM IRISH TIMES: Leinster have launched an internal investigation after Northampton prop Brian Mujati alleged he was racially abused on the field during Friday's pre-season defeat to the Saints at Donnybrook. Mujati used his Twitter account to make the accusations after the Saints beat Leinster 19-...

Why is there no thread on the whole Brian Mujati thing? Pretty serious allegations on Twitter, or is this a no go thread?

John Kirwan has done wonders with Japan, not even messing. Anything but Pygmy.

Interesting seeing Shane Monahan going to Rotheram Didn't really make any impression at Connacht. Good luck to him though, if he can stay fit he could score a lot of tries for them. Connacht were relatively strong for wingers though, hope he does well. Always gonna be a contract for a biggish, no n...

That's a very worrying photo. Those Leinster players look far too small (and young) to make an impact in the Pro12.

Funny how quickly people lose faith in our academy.

I see Mark Flanagan has a contract, can't say I remember seeing him play? Prospect?
