The Anti Rugby Football Thread Pt 2

I’d say Schmidt ruined him.

And flannery and JJ also starting regularly for other provinces…Munster have been unbelievably wasteful with tens over the years

Are the Munster fans who made poor Ian Keatleys life a living hell with the most vicious of abuse now complaining that they have a shortage of outhalfs?

The same ones who barracked Anthony Foley as manager?

Huh?

That was absolutely vicious. I was reminded of it recently when I saw the attack here on Jonathan Walters actually, there were some obvious similarities.

Foley had Keatley’s back always. It wasn’t forgotten.

All they had to do was show Ben Healy a tiny bit of love. They fixed extra A games v the Māori and the boks to facility Harry Byrne and Ciaran Frawley.

Harry isn’t even the best out half in his house own house.

Munster have been absolutely screwed. Munster were regularly reaching European cup semi finals before Ryan and zebo were let go.

Again Munster were shafted. Don’t forget All the whinging we had to endure when sexton left for racing.

Would you ever stop, Healy had the choice between being third choice at Munster or a huge contract and straight into international rugby. It was a no brainer and no amount of plamás was going to overcome the difference in the two offers. It’s not comparable to Harry Byrne because he had Scottish citizenship and was going straight into the international squad.

I do agree Munster got screwed on a few other contracts down the years, zebo and Ryan good examples. They had agreed to sign an Aussie hooker for 6 months at one stage and were blocked on it too.

He wasn’t third choice at all. He was nearly first choice and had an absolute belter v the boks a team in cork. He could easily be Munsters number one now With Jack 12.

He was told where he stood and he was third choice at the time.

Carberry was a busted flush and only for the fact
Farrell kept picking meant Munster had to keep picking him.

The minute Healy agreed to leave Farrell dropped carberry. Munster got absolutely screwed over.

No he wasn’t. Munster were desperate to keep him. The issue was over the tour to South Africa where Ireland didn’t include him which was a crazy decision.

Munster couldn’t compete with the big contract and offer of international rugby and no amount of plamás would have changed that. To say different is just silly.

Sure he wanted to stay. All Farrell had to do was include him and he would not have left.

Instead we have a circus of various lads in Leinster who aren’t good enough being tried. They couldn’t oust a 38 year old Johnny sexton.

You had that idiot nuicifora offering a new deal to van graan as well.

Outside of Munster it’s interesting to see that most people are of the view that Humphrey’s won’t be as accommodating to Munster as Nucifora.

Interesting to see only now that the Thomond naming rights have been sold.

Nuicifora destroyed Munster by keeping an idiot van graan in charge.

Musgrave no?

Sure that’s the B stadium.

For years the rest of Irish rugby was carrying the can for Thomond whilst it was fiercely resisted. Are we at the end of the payment term or is it Nucirofa leaving that is prompting it?
