Babbling 'brook

It's a pretty average range from Castore........god I miss Canterbury stuff and the old Leinster store in Donnybrook !! What I miss most is the 'proper' hoodies - the new ones are all made from horrible light material whereas I've always loved my heavy (weight an absolute ton when they get wet) ones

https://i.ibb.co/yF63JLb/image.png some record. Why would they use 34 games? That makes absolutely no sense unless they are trying to make the numbers look good. 34 games takes us back to the middle of the 2021 6 Nations - leaving out the first two games of that series which we lost!!! We've played...

Same offence twice in one half and the sentences run concurrently and they apply mitigation. World rugby's lack of seriousness on contact to the head is a ticking legal timebomb. Only a matter of time before class action suits come in and this kind of response will be hauled up of evidence that Wor...

Should be punished more for having two offenses in a game, it's an aggravating factor. Give him both bans and extra. Getting five cards in one match must be some sort of record 1) 1st yellow card 2) 2nd yellow card 3) Automatic Red card 4) 2nd yellow upgraded to red card 5) 1st yellow upgraded to red

I can't help thinking that an Italian player would receive a harsher punishment Same thing happened last year in the Champions Cup. In the December Toulouse v Sale game Thomas Ramos was red carded for a ‘head butt’ during the game and afterwards he was also cited for making contact with the eye are...

His Dad must’ve been coaching him every day since he was 4 years old. Incredible kicker

Shhh lads, we need to try not to draw too much attention to him - Quinlan already making noises about there being a log jam at Leinster

In fairness to Dickson, he was playing the line-out from an Irish penalty before the TV ref told him to reverse the decision and give a penalty to France for the high tackle. So can't pin that one on him. And the French try where Whitehouse couldn’t see the knock on (again the French director with ...

I enjoyed it for what it was. A slow starter but some interesting insights. One of which is that Gregor Townsend is a tool. Why would you announce your team with an animated slideshow. If I was a player I'd f%~k off. sh!t management. I've a few other 'issues' which I might vent later. Thank goodnes...

Setting up a point about keeping Ngatai until he's 40 and maintaining a squad of 100 so you can cut it down is very much a straw man. Do you not think that that's a sexist comment to be making too? Are you so precious that you have to lash out. The discussion has some potential to be interesting, n...

Thank god for the Missing Vowels round from Only Connect!!!

He might be getting a very sudden promotion - a little dickie bird told me that Harry Byrne's ankle injury could be quite significant as in, and I quote: "my ankle is fcuked"

My mistake. Appears you were both wrong!! Looks like La Rochelle will be away to Stormers not Bulls That's a bummer. The Stormers are eminently more turnoverable in Cape Town than the Bulls on the High Veldt. It ‘could’ also be Exeter!! If they lose with either a try bonus or losing bonus their rew...

It's not just SA, it's the altitude in Johannesburg. Loftus Versfeld is 1350m above sea level. That will test the lungs of the likes of Atonio, Skelton, Sclavi, all the big lumps. In fact it tests everyone. Loftus Versfeld is at altitude, alright, but in Pretoria, not Joburg. My mistake. Of course ...

Really hope Healy plays in at least 4 of the games, thus becoming Ireland's second most capped player (and overtaking ROG in the process). It's stunning that he's getting within reach of most capped player for Ireland (8 caps) and for Leinster (12). He holds or is close to a number of interesting r...

You could possibly look at adding the 5 additional Munster players who are listed as 'A' players but who are not also in either the full squad or the academy Jake Flannery - Fly Half Sean French - Universal Back Matt Gallagher - Full Back Declan Moore - Hooker Eoin O'Connor - Lock Liam O'Connor - P...
