The Rugby Thread (Part 2)

This will be his 4th banning for high tackles. A 3 game ban would be very lenient.

[Diabhal]

They don’t want marquee names missing World Cups, where possible. The Sexton softball ban is a good example of that.

Appeal gone in

My sources say the judgment has already been written for the appeal panel and we are looking at a three match ban.

My instinct is that Farrell or the RFU will cede the appeal and get a 3 game ban, rather than run the risk of missing more WC games

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

You wouldnt see appeals for appeals in the gaa

10 Leinster 3 Connacht 2 Munster. That ladyboy stuff didn’t age well.

Hopefully the Leinster lads don’t roll over and lie down like they normally do for their club in big matches.

15 years and counting since munster last got to the big match. in that time leinster have contested 7 finals winning 4

Would anyone else have Coombes ahead of Prendergast?

The back division lacks pace, but its been that way all along and doesn’t seem to stop them.

A lot is going to fall on Ringrose to make things happen.

[neilld]

Good year this year though

@neilld

Good year this year though

they came up against a better team with a significantly better coach. id rather lose that way than still be bleating about neil backs hand decades later

[Diabhal]

Coombes is the better player currently but Prendergast has improved immensely in the past two seasons and obviously Farrell sees him as a better fit for whatever reason. Unless Conan misses out through injury neither would be in the 23 for South Africa or Scotland though.

Munster finished the year well in fairness. Not much you can do about that segment of supporters. Doing all they did in the last 3 months was pretty special.

Leinster are a great tesm susceptible to a big pack that can play rugby too.

Hopefully Munster might give them a bit to think about this year.

a strong munster is good for leinster and ireland.

munster have their weirdo supporters and leinster have the Rossocks as well. the biggest thing holding leinster back is leo. he simply has to go

[neilld]

Failing the same way never good alright

In his defence the tackle lowered, he didn’t rise

[glasagusban]

Oops I struck a nerve.

They love their rugby down in Munster so they do.
