Being content with losing a game you were favourites to win is a lovely rugby tradition

Billy even added in the same article that if it was a group stage match Munster would have been happy with the losing bonus point.

Which game were we expected to win there? We had three of the best teams in the tournament in our group

3824

Except Racing were 4/6 favourites for this game.

3825

“Expected to win” by whom?

Some would have said Racing, some would have said Munster. Racing have some of the best players in the world.

Plenty were predicting Ireland to beat Croatia in 2012 and then;

Munster and ROI fans are pretty similar, albeit with a younger demographic (at major tournaments only, they don’t turn up to home games) for the ROI.

The bookies were bang on … All the Irish pundits had Munster to win - they built the team up too much and they froze yesterday… We will learn from it and move on.

Dont give them the pleasure Tim. Us rugby men are better than that.

Why was the Racing match in Bordeaux while the Leinster match was in Dublin?

I don’t defend Munster fans.

But I am engaging with the Óle Óle Fields of Athenry crowd in another sport. If you don’t like the heat, get out of the kitchen.

You’re new to this game, kid but you’ll quickly learn not to take Irish rugby pundits too seriously. Most of them are full of shit and incredibly biased towards Irish teams. Real fans with typewriters types. Munster played poorly and made a lot of mistakes but the reality is about 4 or 5 of that Munster 23 would get into the Racing 23 so the result will not have shocked most people. Leinster will beat Racing a point a man though.
