Babbling 'brook

Don't understand DOC's selection ahead of Leo, whatever about the golden pairing at 4 and 5

I'd go along with that, EOS's is interesting and quite revealing! Not someone you'd want to get on the wrong side of really....

If you have to get just one, it has to be the players' GS one, very superior.

All the best Marcus, let's have you back to full health asap

I'll vote for anything that returns results like that!

Exactly, the quotes from the players were press conference stuff. There was no sense of 'being there' the way there was in the GS book.

In one of the photos it shows Shaggy in the dressing room with the cup, nice photo. But above the hook with his suit bag there's a paper nametag which unsurprisingly says "Shane Horgan" but there are a couple of sentences underneath his name. I can't make them out and the other name tags ...

Bit disappointed with the book tbh. Obviously a big improvement on the dvd, but nowhere near as good as the grand slam book. Sudden chapter endings, slightly meandering quotes, very little sense of what went on behind the scenes. It looks great mind you, the photos are superb.

Site wasn't coping too brilliantly with the increased traffic earlier

Yep it would be great if we could try and group as many of us together as possible. Terrace for me, I think...

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but why is this game on at 5pm? I'd love to go but there's no way I can make it there that early. If they want a bit of support for these games surely they could make them a bit more accessable? Agree completely, even 6pm would give me a fighting chance of making...

This is exactly what the 'ignore' button was designed for.

Berne at 10 costed us that game. No direction from him, he's not an outhalf. Still could have won when we performed better in the 2nd half, also defence wasn't its usual self and Ulster gained easy yards in the 1st half. bang on, we didnt play the conditions at all. Berne should have been pinging t...

The wind was horrendously bad so cant really slate Berne. Heaslip and Drico were very good. It looks like Ross has put on weight :( not good. Amazing why nobody has mentioned MOK? FFS everytime he got the ball he ran into the opposition and went down quicker than a Bangkok Brazzer, offering nothing...

It's easy to blame the defeat on Berne, and certainly if he'd nailed even one of his first half penalties we could have won. However, he must have been playing to the management's gameplan. I don't think he kicked the ball once from hand, and we constantly looked to move the ball wide. The fact is, ...

- Good to see the internationals going well

Drico yes he played well but DArcy and Heaslip were not convincing by any means, Kearney was sound as usual but not a night for him to run.

I disagree, Heaslip played really well, got through loads of work.

Fair enough.

I just think any half-decent journalist could pull it all together from web reports and so on, there's a load of sources available. I doubt his disapproval of the programme is because of that, but who knows, maybe you're right.

And then at the end they have the 'headlines' to recap something you've only watched 5 minutes earlier. Rubbish. They've starting doing this at the end of the Rugby Club too. I mean we have attention spans, it's not like we're Americans!!! :wink: Well what if you missed when they show it at the sta...
