Babbling 'brook

I’m seeing online today a raft of people calling out Leinster fans for booing ROG and then referring to his years of service as Irelands 10 as if this should make him untouchable. They should realise that we love this team as much as they do theirs and his performance after last years final was sim...

In 2009 they went straight on public sale and sold out fast. I was travelling back from the Stoop and missed out. (Got sorted in the end) That wasn't public sale... It was season ticket holders only (after the 2006 debacle). And remember it was a 50 / 50 allocation... And a lot more hype right at t...

The gate money from the quarter-final is split between the two participating teams (as is the previous round) but the semi-final ticket revenue goes to EPCR. There used to be, under the ERC, a situation where, if you moved the game to a larger ground the gate would be split 60-40 provided the away ...

The42 Monday podcast was a decent listen. Very little of the ROG sycophancy while actually talking about it. A lot of the talk of the upcoming game was very balanced. Really? Jackman talking about a LAR win breaking Leinster? We have to remember that our head coach arrived in November and our backs...

Thats a pretty incendiary appointment considering that Dickson was one of the officials abused by Jonny after a match between these teams last year. Not only was JS banned but Leinster were fined €7,500 over the affair. This appointment puts Dickson in a pretty invidious position and piles totally ...

For what its worth.

Karl Dickson is the ref. https://x.com/Murray_Kinsella/status/1777344484184850682 What are the recent games he has refereed us in? He's reffed Leinster four times in this competition. Includes away wins in Treviso, Montpellier and Connacht plus the huge win against Toulouse in the semi-final in 202...

Looking at the ticket map it looks like a lot more than that have gone East and all of premium sold out already by the looks of it.

Daddy must have bought some planes again.

Dowling is the only player I'd have a think about though the ageing version of Simon Zebo that played at the weekend as the alternative wouldn't be a game changer in my view. Earls was on the bench that day incidentally and was a Lion the year after. Tadhg Beirne ahead of O'Callaghan. Tadhg Beirne ...

Was Skelton injured over the last few weeks. Except for yesterday he hadn't played since start of February. It was reported he injured his calf at the beginning of February. Given he went the distance yesterday in his first game back, the conspiracy theorist might wonder if he was not simply being ...

Don't bother trying to buy tickets with the STH link in the email yet. The usual sh1t with no seat map and selling all the cr@p tickets in the corners. There will be plenty of tickets. It’s a one week turnaround. Wait. Don’t let TicketBastard’s monopolistic sharp practices work on you. Good tickets...

No

Both our captains are currently out…

Stormers lost half their pack in part due to the aforementioned brutality. We lost our most influential forward due to the same reason last season. I really don’t see any difference in that La Rochelle performance today and the final last season. It was a carbon copy. La Rochelle started the season...

On a separate note Off the ball and general irish media,this week will be a ROG lovefest.

I can see us not winning the URC if we win next weekend!

They aren’t related.

I was particularly unimpressed with our lineout, fielding, and defence.

Leicester didn’t send their best team. The ful team would have beaten that performance.

Because the ref is French?

But it didn’t when we did, as is normal, but twice theirs survived kick aheads, neither particularly pressured.

Well that’s sh!t
