Babbling 'brook

Factoid - Robbie Keane only used the 'boy/childhood dream' line twice, once when he signed for Liverpool, then when he signed for Celtic - which wouldn't be that unusual for an Irish player, most Irish football supporters would support Celtic as, at least, a second team as well as their first choic...

I know Luke got a lot of criticism here for his tackle but doubt he got much from the coaches. His desire and intent were top class. He might have got timing a little wrong (might have been a bit surprised that Bulls player stepped in) but I'd hope the coaching ticket picked this clip out as a posit...

LH Prop Jack Boyle (21/St. Michaels/UCD) - started at 1 for UCD. Paddy McCarthy (20/Blackrock/DUFC) -- Alex Usanov (Belvedere/Clontarf/U19) Ben Howard (St. Michaels/Terenure/U20) Tom O'Riordan (Blackrock/UCD/U20) - bench for UCD. TH Prop Temi Lasisi (22/Enniscorthy RFC/Lansdowne) - injured. Rory Mc...

Do you really believe that rubbish. There are a few posters here with ‘anti-Luke’ agendas, that don’t merit engagement’s. He has more heart and balls than all of them combined. Tackle was high and a clear yellow but from a Leinster perspective, his fight and work-rate are inspiring and set the stan...

Should be a red unfortunately.

Brave but stupid. Didn’t see it initially
Yellow about right.

It was a cheap shot. He was never going to get to him and wanted to leave one on him. Should have been red.

Do you really believe that rubbish.

I listened to the sports news on RTE1 and Newstalk this morning. Newstalk led with LOI games and then in to a premiership game thats on Sunday. Then on to the NFL finals and then a brief mention of the Womens 6N and golf. RTE1 started with a good preview of the NFL games on Saturday and then on to s...

We had a string of catastrophic hammer injuries a few years ago and that seems to have lessened but now we have had three really bad bicep rips. It seems unusual but it's probably a coincidence. I'm no expert but I've heard a sports scientist claim that Hamstrings they blame on themselves not manag...

Absolutely. The list is long. Deegan really should be pushing for a Europe spot, based on his performances this season, of which this was again good. You would think we would go 6:2 this week and again against Leicester. Particularly if Frawley is fit. Only two concerns for me: - The lineout. - Ros...

Quite a lot of positives in that performance. Absolutely. The list is long. Deegan really should be pushing for a Europe spot, based on his performances this season, of which this was again good.

Big win for navan in 2A v nenagh, well done lads Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk We werent fantastic yesterday but should still win league and promotion. Only barnhall can stop us and we have them in nenagh next week. 1 point across the 2 games gets us the title. Navan got a good win. Crowd ver...

Connacht were brutal. They have too many passengers in the squad.

Jesus some real childish stuff in here tonight. You'd think some people would know better by now. Cheap snipping at your own teams players and coaches. Grow up! :roll: Back on the game ............ good result, some good performance, back to the Top on our own, what's not to like :D its childish to...

Ulster are starting Hendy and Big Stu. No real reason Ringrose, Larmour or Harry Byrne couldn't have played or benched fit.

Well I'd imagine some of them were at Robbies wedding yesterday.

That looks like Des Berry's work! Good to see that and also the other schools cups getting good promotion.

mildlyinterested wrote: ↑March 21st, 2024, 10:26 am Yeah wouldnt surprise me to see Ben join him, Gunne is the coming man down here at 9.

And if Doak is moving to 10 as rumoured, Ulster will need a young 9.

Ulster can't really be thinking of trying to win shiny mugs with Doak at 10?

So farewell Leo, you may never have been loved as Taoiseach, but you were generally trusted. Above all, you've stepped away before the people got tired of you and when you believed you no longer had the enthusiasm to do the job to the best of your ability. As in national rugby, no Captain should ov...

The big question is who's going to Ulster. There is no way IRFU approved the BB move without having a decent 10 settled for Ulster. I'd imagine it's an outsider. Would Foley be too old? 35 in September. Will Ben and Jack follow their Dad north? Strong rumour that Jack is heading that way. They stil...
