Munster, celtic league, heineken cup, general and tag rugby thread 🐐

Munster match is sold out for Saturday night, anyone here going?

i will be there alright…

When I was younger I used to think the Irish backline in 2005ish would be:

9 Scally
10 Staunton
11 Murphy
12 Horgan
13 O’Driscoll
14 therock67
15 D’Arcy

I got some of it right anyway.

You weren’t alone in thinking that backline back in the day, 10 years ago you wouldn’t have gotten much arguement from most circles.

Puke, if you have a season ticket make sure you know what section your in, they’ve gotten rid of blocks and renamed them sections (no point in making things easy after all)

ya i got two tickets, should be good.

got two tickets for friday week too last night.

didn’t bother getting a season ticket…i have very good connections…

he has bulked up too i think.

hope he keeps it up.

not sure if sexton is capable.

its probably a year too early for sexton…hard to see jeremy getting much game time though now with danny back…danny can’t be called up for england in the november internationals unless another outhalf gets injued because he wasn’t named in the elite squad due to his injury…

but going by last friday night IMHO staunton should be second choice out half with both sexton and wallace behind him…

was he named in the training squd by kidney…

The 45-man Ireland squad for four-day pre-season training camp that started on Tuesday 5 August:

Neil Best, Rory Best, Isaac Boss, Tommy Bowe, Tony Buckley, Ryan Caldwell, Robert Casey, Tom Court, Leo Cullen, Gordon D’Arcy, Girvan Dempsey, Ian Dowling, Gavin Duffy, Keith Earls, Stephen Ferris, Luke Fitzgerald, Jerry Flannery, John Hayes, Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip, Marcus Horan, Shane Horgan, Bernard Jackman, Shane Jennings, Robert Kearney, Denis Leamy, Geordan Murphy, Donncha O’ Callaghan, Paul O’ Connell, Ronan O’ Gara, Malcolm O’ Kelly, Brian O’Driscoll, Mick O’Driscoll, Tomas O’Leary, Alan Quinlan, Eoin Reddan, Michael Ross, Donncha Ryan, Jonathan Sexton, Peter Stringer, Andrew Trimble, David Wallace, Paddy Wallace, Roger Wilson, Bryan Young.

No Staunton there…

Cant make Sat night, stag commitments, but will be there for Friday week… looking forward to sampling the new thomand atmosphere…

TFK meetup next week? I’ll be the 1 wearing the red top

i will be in the east terrace…keep an eye out for me…i will be the one shouting “Munster, Munster, Munster”…

I’ll be in the West Stand sitting down, might bring a blanket and a prawn sandwich

yeah…let on that you went to the comp and you will fit in well…refer to the team as “the guys”…

don’t think i could sit in the stand in thomond…jsut wouln’t feel right…

I’ve never been in the stand either, just that the terrace tickets for members of the supporters club were crap and there’s 4 of us going to the matches this year, so we all got tickets together so we could a) be together and in the event of 1 of not being able to make it then 1 of the others could bring their significant other or something they owed big time and have them sitting beside them

suppose ye will be going to clohessys or dolans after the match with the rest of the posers…

I’ll be there with my Munster’s third’s blazer on

Seriously though, I think if it wasn’t for bandwagon jumpers Munster wouldn’t be half as strong as they are, the amount of money being brought in thanks to the sales in Munster merchandise means we can sign 3 top class Kiwis to help us win, that’s great, it’s the tossers that think cause they played on the wing and got a tie that they think they’re god’s gift, wucking fankers. I’ll be back in Ennis having a couple of pints, thanks to the wonders of car pooling

yeah your dead right…a lot of the so called “bandwagoners” know there stuff too compared to some of the lads you would see bandwagoning on the gaa or soccer…its part and parcel of having a successful team…fuck sake the pubs would be fucked this winter out my way if it wasn’t for munster…

I started following Munster back in 98 when I moved back from Dublin, I had no problem with tickets then (there wasn’t such a thing as tickets), then I noticed an ad it 1 of hte programs about supporters club membership, I figured why not. I actually had trouble getting rid of my spare ticket for a lot of games.

1998 i was only a young lad who’s first love was shannon and that superb 4 in a row team…
