Babbling 'brook

I saw Mike Sowerby on the plane back to Dublin from Lyon....don't think he'd be a good rpelacement though

Toulon Fan, talking to the Toulon Fans outside the ground after the match (and before) they all mentioned the lack of homegrown players with annoyance and seemed disgruntled with it. IIn fact they complimented Leinster on the representation (and success with) of homegrown players. Anyhow, maybe that...

Some poor decision-making on our part. A few times we had a penalty advantage and played on to be turned over - this happened at 13 - 9, they turned us over and went down the pitch to score a try..

Acting? I don't think that was acting.

Well more so than usual...

We won despite rarely getting into 3rd gear. Sloppy first half where mentally we didn't seem to be there. However, we still managed to eke out penalty points to come back from a 9 point deficit - which was the impressive thing (although I always felt confident it would be achieved). Thought Bent did...

I really want conacht to make it in to the hc next season, but at the same time I hope they don't so we can poach griffin and henshaw off them. Great finish from connacht, they are playing some great rugby lately. I didn't think Lam deserved the job initially, but he is doing great work with an ave...

Has Brian O'Driscoll ever played Jonny Wilkinson at club level? I seem to recall a while back Newcastle playing Leinster in the HEC in Donnybrook on a Friday night. If memory serves Jonny had a stinker that night. We played them away in Leeds as well, the game had to be rescheduled due to poor pitc...

I never can understand why some people seem to insist that you can turn either SOB of POM into a No 8 simply so they can replace Heaslip. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest either could be even close to as good as Heaslip in his position. But POM played there once or twice this season.........

Harts 15 starts for Grnoble compared favourably with Marty Moore's career record before his call up. It is a pity that neither Marmion or Hart weren't involved this season, especially given the age profile of the incumbents. Joe seems to have had Henshaw heavily involved despite not being included ...

What's the big deal with what he said? And the first thing some people can post after we win a 6N is "in your face Leamy". Jaysis. Has Schmidt done anything about a replacement for BOD? Did Schmidt pick some players that weren't first team regulars for Leinster over first choice guys from...

Relying on trains to get to Toulin - have people boked tickets in advance? Just wondering if the toulon boys can say if we need to get tickets in advance?

Fitz, clearly. Remember he was going to munster for 1 reason and stayed? Has the best skillset...Macken while being good doesn't have that level.

'74?

Indeed : there's no fast train line between Toulouse and Toulon, it's as boring and expensive as by car... Maybe longer because need to change in Marseille... That's why there are few. You'd better had chosen Lyon, if you could of course... Way much closer. Good luck. Yep, lyon tickets are expensiv...

Looking at flying home from Toulouse - trains are very few and take 4 hours! Anyone got any ideas, decent websites? French trains can easily be booked on the SNCF site The English language version is very good and easy to use By the way for Toulouse you need to change in Marseille so it will take m...

2 Tickets for Ailerons Nord (with thanks to The Bear).
Are there many others in this section?

Looking at this hotel - http://www.hotel-bonaparte.com.
Seems quite close to the ground itself. Getting pretty excited.
