They didnt but to lose to them in those circumstances wouldve been very debilitating really. Theyre still high levelespecially with VDF coming in early. Its the biggest win in a while.
12 of the team that started against Toulouse didnât start today. I presume lads getting excited about this win are on the wind-up.
Is there anything better than when a team you follow begins to come out of the doldrums after years of suffering?
Limerick drawing with cork in 2018 was one of the greatest moments of my life.
The boys became men today.

Ya, hadnt it exactly but knew it was substantial.
New superstar number 10 wonât do any harm with the sponsors
Delighted for Rowntree
True but this board was gushing in 2016 when Ireland beat Italy B. You can only play what is in front of you and Munster played their hand well.

Itâs huge for Munster. The confidence thatâll bring is unmeasurable.

Munster were missing plenty too. Munster were around 4/1 to win.
It shows how bad a state rugby is in across Ireland outside Dublin if these are the crumbs to be celebrated.
Yea true but Leinster were absolutely down to their second team.
That said I think Munster would have put in a similar shift vs. the main team and could have won. Munster have been building and the performances in South Africa were the most impressive wins by a Munster team in a decade plus. They are on the up and it is great to see.

The big thing was the manner of victory. Over the few years Munster would have folded after the try before half time and Leinster would win easy.
They just barely stayed in the game but these results and rearguard type performances that give great confidence to a team.

Calm down there Joe.
Very astute Tim
Itâs a disaster alright to see younger players like John hodnett and Gavin Coombes mixing with world player of the year josh van der flier and six nations star jack Conan alright.
