Babbling 'brook

And they're on course to be 1st seeds again this year. 14 pts going in to Rd 4 today. Hopefully Sale can pull off a miracle! They still have Scarlets away and Toulon at home too, so not an easy finish for them either...

For anyone interested, theres a few tickets up on ticketmaster, 110 a pop though

Saints lost at home 16-22 to Newcastle last night. Red card for Kieran Brookes too.

Based on weekend performances (and Irish bias!), definitely think O'Brien, Furlong, VDF and maybe even Zebo are strong contenders to be added to that list

Proposed new law changes for next year (Inc. Lions Series) and 2017/18 Northern Hemisphere season. http://rugbylad.com/world-rugby-set-to-trial-new-laws-next-year-in-attempt-to-speed-up-game/ One thing that I question is the new law about not being able to kick the ball straight out of play from a p...

As good as Dillane is, and once again proved to be yday, I wouldn't look to 'experiment' against the All Blacks if it wasn't necessary...

wrong thread

Thought Zane might have been included somewhere in matchday squad too considering his decent form this season and the fact that a few are missing in backline to injury and Ireland call ups. I suppose he has played a lot though already this season...

One thing that has surprised is how far down the pecking order Molony seems to have fallen. This time last year he was sex and cake (to use the new rugby parlance). While you may very well be correct, I get the feeling that Leo (or Stuart) are very big in showing the Squad that they have faith in t...

I guess it all depends on the scheduling. Last time I was in Castres and Toulouse were also playing at home that weekend. Only problem was the Toulouse game kicked off about 20 mins after the Castres v Leinster game finished. Hoping pool 5 might be the Friday game with Ulster playing Bordeaux at ho...

They've also sacked Dominguez. Mike Ford stepping up to main coaching role.

An official attendance on EPCR website of 13,890. That's the lowest home attendance for a home European game in many many years i suspect. We're not playing that bad are we?!!!

Team announcement article says over 14,000 tickets sold for tomorrow. That seems quite a poor number for a European game doesnt it? Usually up around 16/17000 at least afair...

Reid and Henshaw in the centre, Ringrose to the wing?

Sign him up!

Ok, so he just hasn't made the cut for either of the first couple of pro12 matchday squads then? I'm hoping that's because he had pretty much a year out with injury so is taking some time getting back up to full fitness etc. Hopefully he can add something to our back 3 options because he was one gu...

Anyone have any idea how many ST's were sold for this season?

Last year it was the middle of August. Should be earlier than that this year thoughi presume with the competition starting a month earlier...
