Gone are the days where rugby jock fashion was mainstream fashion in Limerick. You were nobody if you didnāt have cauliflower ears in Limerick.
Fat blokes took advantage of the trend. They put on a rugby jersey and automatically looked like they played for some random AIL team and the women would flock to them.
Regatta fleece jackets and Dubarry deck shoes flying off the shelves.
In 6th year, I remember seeing a classmate on RTE scoring a try for Young Munster. I thought he was some kind of local celebrity as a result.

The smell of farts and deep heatā¦

They should be throwing money at the top clubs to find and develop the best talent in the province at underage - making sure the best 16-20 year olds are in the network of all clubs competing with the Dublin clubs, thatās the natural point to attack to make the player funnel the widest for munster.
In addition they need to ensure the schools are flooded with quality coaching as itās a very important part of player development also.
The big clubs not able to field u20 teams is alarm bell stuff - mismanagement and incompetence has the province in this situation

Bar the odd exception like Earls or Zebo, Munster are only ever going to produce Ham and Eggers. Even in the glory days it required a sprinkle of stardust from outside superstars like all time All Black try leader Doug Howlett and the Spinning Dervish Ian Dowling to get over the line. Targeted recruitment necessary even with a Grand Slam winning pack

You missed the fact the rugby lads in Limerick would wear the club suits/dinner jackets on nights out after the games.

Maybe we could throw in Leamy as well?
Leamy has a decent track record with Leinsterā¦and he goes to the gamesā¦which gives him a fair headstart
Roger randle confirmed it appears to replace Prendergast
Good to get his guys in Iād say.
Indeed. Good pick up all things considered
Cant argue to any of his points
Ouch!
Did he get clearance from Clarence for that moveā¦
Munsterās communications officer will be kept busy if this gets announced anyways.
Hadnāt heard that until I searched now
Will definitely dominate the appointment would be a pass from me the last thing they need to be dealing with is trying to explain this away and justify the appointment. Pretty terrible situation too by the sounds of it
As you correctly said about Connacht with Coulson: the provinces/IRFU do their due diligence on all these lads and make a judgement call on whether they can outlast the shitstorm. This lad is only rumoured yet in fairness so Munster might decide not to offer a deal.
