Nice to see OâDonoghue back after all the Munster supporters hand-wringing over Ralston supposedly ending his season only a couple of months ago.
Pity one of them didnât meet that Treviso lad with the same energy as he danced up the sideline on Saturday
You canât be expecting Pete Wilkins teams to be making tackles. Thatâs not what heâs paid 150k a year for.
They were actually decent in fairness to them. A new ten would make a big difference.
I think theyâre very static in attack (Wilkins and Johnny Sextonâs brotherâs dual-responsibility) and have never been so poor defensively in the back 3. They have two many cheap former 7âs lads signed in one go and rotate the forwards too much to have a settled first choice pack.
I think with the new stadium they donât have the money to do a clearout of the coaches this summer but thereâs not one aspect of the coaching you could say has gone well.
Think they were 7/2 or so which shows how far they are gone back. They wouldâve been favs for that match a couple of years ago.
Benetton were poor enough too. Theyâve lost a lot of momentum from the start of the year but to win a tight match like that which they shouldâve lost is a positive sign. No harm to see them getting stronger either in fairness.
Iâd say they were just easing back in their internationals they will be better again over next few weeks
Big one for Zebo - will find out exactly what he has left here. Iâd like to think he is flying in training. Heâs safe under the high ball and has that bit boot at least despite the issues covering the ground. I think they will scrape in.
A long time since he got a hat trick v the saints. 2012 maybe or even 2011.
Iâm just hoping his class tells
Heâs best at full back can make things happen, good to see what he has as a winger in a big game. Need the likes of him and Snyman to do something special. Decent enough team but the front row could get ate.
I think zebo is finished tbh. Heâs so unfit.
Need a huge games out of Crowley and Synman.
Front row is a disaster.
And the front row subs
I think heâs the kind of guy, he wouldnât be in at this stage if he wasnât going well- heâd nearly say so himself. I prefer him at FB as well. Haley is finding a bit of form but Iâd say heâd be grand on the wing himself. One thing with Zebo and Haley, they are savage under the high ball and yer man Mitchell loves a box kick.
Donât think Haley has played wing for Munster at all has he? Good point on both in the air, including winning kicks going forward, zebo especially, something thatâs gone out of the Irish game.
I thought Ryan was banned?
Theyâre bizarrely appealing which speaks of the desperation.
You wouldnât fancy any of the Munster front row to do 50 pushes up.
