Munster Rugby - We DID start the fire (Part 2)

If you were O’ Gara, you wouldn’t go near it. They’re awful. They’d drag his name through the mud when his stock has never been higher.

They’ve a nice group of young players and things are very low.

It’s a great time to take over.

A great chance for Munster to plan for the future by taking Pete Wilkins, highly rated by the IRFU top brass, down to Limerick. It’ll be for the betterment of Irish rubby.

I think he has done a great job.

[Julio_Geordio]

They haven’t a hope of getting Rog.

Paulie is the one to aim for

[Fagan_ODowd]

@glasagusban

Think the same. I doubt he’d jump mid season and leave his current job anyway. But even if he would, for what, to take a terrible job. Could they even afford to pay him as much.

And have the fans with unrealistic expectations turn on him the way they did on Foley

Oh they can get him. Just won’t be till next summer.

@Diabhal

He had a poor start to the season but wasn’t expecting that

He’s completely lost the squad. Not sure who was responsible for the woeful signings.

Not picking younger lads too.

He’s no loss imo. I’d say a decent fella but I couldn’t be having a prop as a head coach.

Watching them against the last crowd in South Africa you’d wonder if they had ever had any defensive coaching

Bad decision by Rowntree to cut synman loose while retaining Kleyn.

@BruidheanChaorthainn

Not picking younger lads too.

What younger lads should he be picking? I thought he’d been pretty good at bringing in younger players like Edogbo, Quinn, Campbell, Gleason.

@Fagan_ODowd

And rowntree.

[glasagusban]

Felix Jones at a loose end?

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Don’t think fans had really turned on him at all

[neilld]

They haven’t the players, simple as really and they let 2 international class lads leave in the summer; didn’t replace them and all the main guys are two years older from when they won the league. Also, all the good uoung lads like the Edobos and POC’s nephew are injured. What exactly are they expecting? Centre, wing, up front, there’s holes everywhere. Calvin Nash, Casey and the centre from Connacht are the only lads that have shown anything this season.

The likes of Archer is trying his best, there was a lad playing left wing last Saturday that is so far off it its untrue.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

You could see it last year. They were playing terribly. They’d a unique opportunity to win two leagues in a row and in a full Thomond park.

It would have been huge. You could see the poor dip though. Beirne said training was woeful.

These are tell tails signs. You seize these opportunities.

I think Munster have a good future under the right manager.

No. He has a very long contract too would be a massive exit payment

Def a bit of low hanging fruit there but you’d need to sign 5 or 6 front rows

With Farrell gone to lions not sure IRFU be up for that

[gilgamboa]

@glasagusban

And rowntree.

Did the fans turn on him?

[glasagusban]

@BruidheanChaorthainn did anyway.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

@glasagusban

@BruidheanChaorthainn did anyway.

I’d always support my teams but I just didn’t rate him. Lost a lot of faith when he couldn’t keep Ben Healy.

End of last season was woeful and two European campaigns were disasters.

[Kyle]

I’d say it was coming. Munster fans are savages. They’re not real rubby men like us - they are lads from Feakle, Nenagh, Kildimo , Tarbert and the likes…no rubby background

[Cheasty]

Declan Kidney for a Howard Kendall/Art McRory/Brian McEniff style return surely.
