Yup. 100%. Hopefully kept on in some form.
Been a tough couple of years for him off the field and he’s carried himself like a gent the whole time.

Still no Coombes. If he played in blue he'd have a number of caps under his belt already. He should be in the squad alright. I’m a massive fan of Coombes but right now Conan and ruddock are ahead. Long term for Coombes development if he’s get picked for pretty much every Munster game till the end o...

I’d feel the same about a potential spaguares team as the saffer expansion. I’d prefer a Celtic league but anyone with a brain knows that that alone leads to player drift to England. We rely too much on the European cup to bring in attendances etc. The higher the level our players play at in the pro...

As long as Beirne is playing regularly at lock for Munster, I don't see the issue with the odd game against bigger sides at 6. And given he's already played 6 for Ireland this season, it's clear they're looking at that option. I think in the absence of Doris a br of beirne/Christ/Derek is probably ...

Jack Crowley, being talked up a lot by ROG and the media? Is he that good? Good eye for a gap and seems to play close to the line. Tends to overdo a double pump pass. Not huge but seems to have the requisite confidence needed. On the basis of 3 u20s games he looks ok but hasn’t got a look in at Mun...

Don't know how fit Lowe is but think would start him over Larmour offers the big left boot as well. When was the last time we won a 6ns game in Cardiff? 2013. Jaysus. That's a 90s-drought sort of number. Except we won there all the time in the 90s. Hate to say it but they’ve beaten us in almost eve...

MacCarthy back to Leinster? Bit of a disaster for the ""we need to spread the Leinster talent around" agenda you'd have to say. It's hugely underaprreciated how much of the risk is on the player Leaving aside the inevitable Cooney is the real disaster which has already been knee-jerked I see, stead...

Lazy Couch potato

McCarthy supposedly returning to Leinster next season. It's an interesting one. He must trust himself to push to the top (/second) of the pecking order at Leinster; whereas, third choice at Munster is the best he can hope for. If he doesn't push up the pecking order for Leinster, it'll be a poor de...

What are the thoughts on Patterson leinsterites? Was he the lad that played in the o’classico in thomond in 18 and did well or was that a different lad.

Top young outhalves in Ireland(23 and under): 1. Harry Byrne(21/Leinster) 2. Ben Healy(21/Munster) 3. Jack Crowley(20/Munster) 4. Bill Johnston(23/Ulster) 5. Conor Fitzgerald(23/Connacht) Crazy to think 4/5 are from Munster originally. Shows how important it is to get younger players out of the nes...

Wonder will nakawara be on big wages in Belfast. Has he played much for Glasgow? I imagine his “going awol “ event with racing affects his earning ability. Super player but there’s a lot of risk as well.
Will say a lot of the coaching if they can maximise his world beating potential

Congratulations Leinster. We played well in a lot of ways but all these matches come down to scoreboard pressure. Ultimately the 6 point swing before halftime was crucial. Nearly never bulled a cow. Getting “closer” isn’t worth a shiite we needed to put the foot on the throat when we got into 22. Un...

Just not the same without pre game pints It's rubbish. Typically I would be having a few prematch pints in the Turks Head supporting whoever Quins are playing before settling in for the proper game on the big screen followed by some live music and a curry. And today it should have been Munster, tha...

Didn't think we'd win this game when teams announced, Munster team lacked a bit of power carriers in the pack and nous in the backline. We went for corner when we should have taken points and vice versa, Billy and Healy didn't seem to learn from Clermont game that you take high percentage 3 pointer...

Wouldn’t disagree re r Byrne. If Healy gets to that level it’s an excellent player to have in your squad but realistically won’t trouble the green jersey.

Was impressed with salanoa and Aherne as subs last night. Aherne looks to have bite. TOT is some wrecking ball for the nordies. Will help a lot when Coetzee moves on. Salanoa could be super sub for Munster, bring on that bulldozer with Casey and JJ and the tempo shoots up again. No surprise to see ...

Arnold has signed permanently. 2 year contract. Same as Oliver. Both showed up very well yesterday. I can see why Munster didn’t need them. Both are slightly limited but can’t fault their commitment, leave it all on the park. Wootton is the lad on a year long loan (while seeing out his final year a...

It's pretty shit from Dombrandt, he could have made a legal tackle there and it would have been play on. He was open for a huge hit to the ribs perfectly legally and instead chose to shoulder charge him. The gas thing about dombrant is he’s spent the past year discussing at detail how he was king h...

Statto is right. The Scots simply need to exclude foreign based players from selection for the national team. Not sure if that's sarcasm but if not, Scotland's problem is only two teams. They'd actually be better off leaving Healy at Munster to claim the starting position and then capping him as th...

Thought it interesting that Flannery played 10 ahead of Crowley who was at 12. Very hard to know where they see flannery. Is he a 10 or a 15? Crowley too. Both look skilful players but ala carbery/JJ/madigan etc etc etc finding the perfect position isn’t an exact art. Re Healy he has Scottish paren...
