Babbling 'brook

There is a lot of people dismissing last years hammering based on the fact the Toulouse were "tired" after there epic extratime battle against a ragamuffin Munster. Y'know we played a game that day too? 2 and 1/2 hours later, also away from home and against a better team than they played....

Very nervous. They have been targeting this game, a chance for revenge after last year. Added spice given we beat France in February. I’ve resigned myself to JS being gone but Lowe’s big left boot and physicality will be missed. I expect VdF will start but Baird won’t. Possibility Kelleher will mak...

Mildy going into his pre-match negative mode...."we can't win"!

Not sure I agree with that. Can't really understand how a team who has earned the right to have a home draw playing a semi in their (actual or alternate) home threatens the integrity of the tournament. The whole 'home country, not home stadium' jazz has always struck me as a bit of a nonsense. How ...

Speculation on our team for Saturday seems very limited. Is this because there is an automatic assumption that there are no changes anticipated from the team against Leicester, other than Jimmy O'Brien for injured James Lowe. Personally I wonder whether now is the time that Leocaster will unveil Ja...

These feckin Micks shouldn't be this good. They could win a fifth star FFS. It wasn't supposed to be this way. They should go out as a plucky loser in the QFs at best and then we beat the frogs in an armwrestle, Agincourt style.

Fixed that.

No religation in the Prem this year I am aware no team is being relagated this year but there are rumors that Newcastle are dropping down voluntarily to cut costs and boost their chances of survival. Woah, really? It turns into more of a #jokeofaleague every week. Sad to see. Not as sad as it used ...

Yeah I'm sort of in that bucket... This is the game I'll probably skip I was 50/50 but when I realised it was the Aviva that sort of swung it. I'm getting pretty tired of that place. Sent from my LE2123 using Tapatalk Yeah all that winning really tires you out doesn't it. :roll: Honestly, only in I...

lots of good seats available now according to that map - well worth waiting for it to come up - i suspect it also points towards an issue selling out this match; many went to the Ulster game, the Leicester game and are going to the Toulouse match; there will be very few Sharks (i.e. "away"...

They are but Oldschoolsocks doesn't know, so shush.

Sensitive about horses or do we have a different understanding of the expression? Knackered is "tired from sex" is it not? Can't talk about sex now? I thought that was bollixed? Could be too. But that would be for the lads exclusively, bollix=scrotum+contents. Knackered is gender neutral....

Maybe a word we should avoid using

I know there is still whingers (mostly Uk based pundits) about the URC format, but I think this season has been one of the best since the whole Celtic league was formed. This will also be the first time I am really looking forward to watching every single one of the knock out matches cause both tea...

Glasgow remind me of Scarlets in 2017.
Nobody noticed Scarlets were winning every game they played until they turned up in the RDS.
This season Glasgow's only defeat in any competition since the end of November was to the
Lions in February.
Dark Horses.

A hiding, and no doubt about it. When you look at the two teams, could it have been any other way? It would be a bad look for the league if Leinster could send down such a callow team and beat a franchise like the Bulls. Lions was a different matter. Good lesson for the youngsters. Sharks in the QF....

James Tracey is a really good pundit. I know a few others have said this before. He seems like a very humble guy, no ego whatsoever. Incredible for a player at the highest level of his sport. Good knowledge of the game especially his position. I don't know if he's a big enough name to have on more ...
