The centres tried hard but there is nothing smooth about their passing or putting players into space. Relying on individual breaks. Wont work against defenses. Forwards OK to good, but need more power at 7. No criticism of vdef efforts. A few of the newer guys discovering playing international is ve...

The winners in this series could well be the guys who weren't there. The covid closed shop squad meant that the provinces could give developing players a good run. Coombes, Casey, Healy, Penney, and a few more have had a good run and proved their worth. Some of the senior players will not be returni...

Pick the matchday squad and the minimum necessary cover, all from the existing panel, asap. Send everyone else back to the provinces to prepare for the europe. its more important now. If an opposition is required for training I'm sure some local J2 team will.oblidge. They might not be to hard for th...

POM will start though, put your house on it

Ryan is out of sorts, give him a week off.

Despot

An ordinary performance made hard to watch by very dull commentary.

Despot

Quin Roux form rewarded.

Despot

8 newly capped or uncapped in the squad is a decent development. And that's not including a couple of injured rising stars.

Despot

Cronin and Wycherly are the only LHs left standing in Munster.

Are CVC linked to any particular tv network?

France announce ban on all gatherings more than 5k.

Despot

So with the italy game cancelled I wonder will the entire squad be released back to the provinces this weekend?

Must be big questions over any more 6ns games happening. Maybe within Britain.

Quinlan was being an old mate. It was pretty boring listening to him tbh. It's why I don't like listening to recent-ish pros most of the time, they're too nice. Yeah, at least Liam Toland and Keith Wood had a half useful discussion about changing playing style. Quinlan kept saying he wanted change,...

Do we have the players just now that could beat that english team? We have good forwards, but their collective power is just not enough. Herring is doing well, but at the very top level isn't powerful enough. Kelleher I think will get there, but will take a year for so to get to the v top power requ...

Despot

Stockdale v JJ and Larmour running at Daly should be good crack. Just hope our forwards can get hold of the ball against that huge English pack. Won't Stockdale be on Ireland's left wing vs May? Yes. Stockdale's defensive short-comings could be exposed. Meanwhile Conway is on fire over on the right...

Bryan Byrne off to Bristol on loan deal. Pat Lam knowing the system!!

No time limit, and the current cabinet in situation until a new one is appointed.

Be it Ringrose Henshaw or whoever's at 13 they could learn a lot from Earl's passing and handling skills yesterday.

Come out ye Black and Tans being sound at the RDS count.

The tone has been set.

I was wondering that myself, actually. Under Schmidt it would have been Stander, but he's out of the leadership group now.
Ryan or Hendo?

Hendon was off.

Who was Ireland's captain when Sexton and POM went off?

By 5pm saturday doris, Deegan and kelleher will be capped. Cooney will have the guts of an hour's play done. That's change. Not revolution but change. Revolution was never going to happen.

I’d prefer the AI’s.
Mark McCall will surely be available really soon.

Poor Andy Farrell. He wins and the knives are out. If he experiments and looses the bean counters who pay him will have the knives out. Who'd be a head coach.

A good team, lots of talent and skill. Might be a bit of dog missing though.

This notion that Munster are broke and the debt hangs over them is something which only exists in this forum. There is 34 of the 40 million paid off already, the same people bringing this crap up are on the NAMA thread calling for billions upon billions in capital investment in Dublin :roll: So you...

From a rugby point of view I don't really get why he wasn't there, you really can't claim he hasn't been in the top 35 players in Ireland this season. It just adds to the suspicion that a non Leinster player has to be twice as good to get a look in. He was never given a fair go. Wow lads, you’s hav...

Coaching Top Trumps. How could he fail? Not as if he wasn't aware of the salaries. Whether or not he was aware of the cheating doesn't impinge on his coaching abilities. Yep.A lot of big spending clubs in France bought in marquee signings but never really got a team dynamic. They cheated, but the m...

Backs look totally frustrated. There is just not enough collective power in munster front five to win go forward ball. That's slowing everything down. And they are playing shite.
