Munster Rugby - We DID start the fire (Part 1)

Leinster are so much better at giving younger lads chances to flourish. Calvin Nash was a better player than his Larmour when they were wingers on the same u20 side and look at both developments since

Ryan isn’t world class but is a decent player at that level

Agreed. Seems to have fallen behind Archer which is bizarre to me. He is a mile better than him

[gilgamboa]

@BruidheanChaorthainn

Scanell x 2, archer, Kleyn, JOD, john Ryan, Hayley etc all just decent club players.

Munster should be looking at Thomas ahern alongside Beirne in the second row. Pom, hodbett and Coombes in the back row. I’d look at Healy at ten and Crowley at twelve. Murray and Farrell have a lot of experience at 9 and 13.

If you have earls and Conway on the wings I’d have zero issues with pa Campbell at 15.

The old saying goings you’ve to speculate to accumulate. Munster are so conservative for so long. Shane Daly has barely in his proper position and two years ago he was challenging Hugo Keenan.

All the lads you listed at the top are average club players. But they are grand for pro 14 and when internationals are away. No club has 30 internationals on their books.

@glasagusban

Didn’t he have an illness or something?

He did but it precedes his good spell of form a few years back and the form coincided with him getting it sorted

[Aertel220]

Munster have Exeter in the Round of 16? A very tough draw for a team who won all their pool games.

I’m speechless. It makes you feel ill

[LionelRitchie]

It’s fucked up. How this creature wasn’t held to account for all manner of transgressions while alive needs serious investigation

[Julio_Geordio]

Are we excited for Malachy lads?

[Julio_Geordio]

Theres some very disturbing statements in that implying loads of people knew what was going on and that they’ve only scratched the surface on what he did

[Biff_Egan]

A bit of Pallasgreen steel is what the team needs. Just the man to answer the “99” call and start a tear up.

Oh, you mean Fekitoa

A touch of the Joe McKennas about him.

For reasons which I won’t bore ye with here I ended up at the Munster/Edinburgh game last night. An…interesting experience for sure. It’s now definitely a night out with the disco lights, music, over excited dj roaring at every opportunity. Corporate boxes busy with a lot of the ladies in particular indulging in the presumably free wine going by the growing volume of chatter, lewd comments etc as kick off approached. Zebo is some finisher but doesn’t do a stroke off the ball, can see why he’s no where near the international set up. Also seems to have lost/gained (depending on your perspective) conditioning since his return. Didn’t sample the pints but had a lovely coffee to stave off the worst of the cold. Would give it another go in warmer weather, if the front line guys were back and they promised never to sing Stand Up and Fight before hand, ever.

[Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr]

That was a decent watch last night. A bit scattergun but an enjoyable game all the same.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Watched 20 mins of the tripe on rte 2. Ive seen better junior games

[Phil_Leotardo]
