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

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

It’s a huge win for the management team as well who all seem like alright sorts.

[LionelRitchie]

Leamy’s influence on the defensive structures really starting to show. They were excellent today in defense

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Yep fully agree. He seemed incredibly highly regarded in Leinster.

There’s a toughness to Munster we haven’t seen in a while.

[Watchthepost]

Munster went toe to toe today and faced up to Leinster. It was a cracker of a game from both sides. Some battle in the trenches.

[Halfpipe]

What an odd take. I hope they brought their autograph books for the day out as well. Pity Caelan Doris was told to stay home and put his feet up so he can be ready for the big games, Coombes could have got a selfie with his younger opponent had he been togged as well.

Cry some more.

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.

Yeah they have a grit about them. It’s great to see.

Fair play to the Munster lads on here. Irish rugby needs a strong Munster. Deserving winners from the parts I saw.

Jack Crowley dealt well with a pressure kick near the end. Positive to see with the World Cup and after in mind.

Why are you posting multiple times on a game you just want to troll about?

@Tim_Riggins

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

Munster lads must be seething at the pity compliments that Tim is throwing here

[Tim_Riggins]

Not really. I think Munster were really good down in SA and said as such a few weeks ago.

Genuinely think they have turned the corner as a squad though I think the age profile is not great.

[glasagusban]

You’re trying to say something here but it’s so garbled I can’t make it out.

[tallback]

Yeah. They’re back competitive.

Fair play to them today but Leinsters selection says everything about how they rated them. Leinster gambled and came out the wrong side of that dice roll.

Today might change that which is progress. Still a good bit to go to the top tier which I’d imagine is what they want.

Have we a rugix thread?

[myboyblue]

Leo has to go

[Aertel220]

The Stormers will be delighted with that outcome. Final is in South Africa now instead of the Aviva. They also manage to avoid Leinster which is another bonus for them.

Tim is a shrewd observer. I wouldn’t be getting massively carried away but is it better to win these games than lose them? Well that’s obvious really isn’t it

I think they’re competitive under this coaching thing but I’m not sure that sacrificing Joey for Healy is worth it.

Sure they had no choice really with the champions cup final next weekend. Not realistic to go fully loaded two weeks in a row
