Strange move given jta wouldn’t be noted at a top scrummager. A big ball carrying brute no doubt but that’s TOT surely?? Not a bad player but from a far it looks like the type of sign “jenkings coz cj is gone and our front row is crap “ type of nonsense signing I see with Munster Our front row isn’...

Could be a good move for all concerned. Who knows contact skills better than Seán O'Brien after all? Obviously quite inexperienced in terms of coaching, although I do recall that he used to coach in Tullow on his weekends off from Leinster even as a young man and was always earmarked as a player wh...

Nice win. Kendellan is a super player….he makes so few mistakes. Considering it’s his first full season I see no reason for him not to make it to international level. Hodnett too.

Any idea of who his assistant coaches will be ?

They’re all a bad combination. Archie rarely gets bested in the scrum and is a big effective lump in a maul etc. just can’t carry and is guaranteed to leak two dumb penalties a game. Scannell has good darts and appears to be an effective scrummager but is a hopeless carrier and has the physicality o...

Carberry instead of Healy/Crowley combo starting/bench, Cloete starting ahead of Hodnett/Kendellan, Scannell starting ahead of Barron/Buckley combo. :| I'd have gone with Josh W ahead of Loughman but not much in it either way, both a step down on Killer at the moment. Archer/Ryan is meh, annoyed it...

Wouldn’t have any issue with Leinster signing ngatai it’s exactly the type of older pro who won’t push out an international but provides a steady hand/scaffold at mid to lower level pro14 that’s ideal for the provinces. Has he sorted out his concussion and injury issues. From memory he had some cons...

I think it’s a deal that works well for all concerned. Personally I think he’s a good step up on bill Johnson. Johnson was permanently broken during his time at Munster. I see flannery as a ten who is competent at 15. He’s an excellent passer and has a good break and can kick. Issue for flannery as...

I think ultimately so much of the flow of the game hinged on the disallowed Doris try. They were out on their feet at that stage…If we had gone beyond double scores it would have been a lot easier. Very hard to change a refs perspective when they’re getting it as wrong as it seemed in the scrum. But...

Loughman called up to the Irish squad

Lazy Couch potato

Watching back the Munster game …proviso that Newport were appalling
Casey and crowley were obviously excellent
Kendellan very impressive…very physical. Made yards at every opportunity. Very good footwork, good in the air.
Murdered a few rucks

Barron does an awful lot of the basics right.

Bath have confirmed that Munster fullback Matt Gallagher will join the club along with Johann van Graan and JP Ferreira this summer. Former Ulster and Ireland U20 hooker Niall Annett also joining from Worcester. Isn’t cloete going there too? Pity it didn’t work out for Gallagher. A lot of bad injur...

No Knox or Salanoa for Munster. if I was a munster fan i'd be baffled. Yep. It's number 2 on my list of bafflements, after why we're letting next years Bath coach get minutes into his players using our this year squad. Given kendellan and hodbett are on the bench it’s baffling JOS isn’t ahead of cl...

I assume the other 3 provinces will get first refusal on departing players rather than losing them all entirely to Irish rugby ? Never seems to work that way does it. Ulster or Connacht would make sense. It would save money all round of those kind of conversations were being had. How long is vermeu...

Where’s deegan off to ? Hasn't been able to get back to what he was pre-knee injury. Granted he hasn't been able to get gametime. Deegan if fit is still a very tidy player. Did he price himself out of the negotiations. Can’t see space at Munster? Wouldn’t start ahead of Coombes and we’ve an abundan...

God but that Ringrose try had everything you want in a piece of rugby. Beirne like a hawk, watching the 9 and screaming around to put him under pressure. Porter activating beast mode to rip the ball of the replacement prop. Kelleher quickest to react and has the presence of mind to pop it up to Gib...

I hear there could be a big clearout at Leinster in the summer with a few surprises amongst them. TRK has been pushing this narrative alright. Dooley, Cronin, Toner, Murphy, Dunne, CRyan, Ruddock/Deegan?, Moloney, Foley, ROL, Adam Byrne, COB, Hawkshaw, Turner all under threat plus probably a few mo...

Amazing progression. Fair play to him

I didnt know Gallagher was leaving tbh... 2nd captains today with Shaggy and Flannery is worth a listen Deals up and he's not getting game time. Makes no sense to sign him back on with Earls, Conway, Nash, Daly, Coombes, Zebo and Haley established, then Campbell, French, Phillips and Wren coming th...

Lazy Couch potato

Conway and earls have both played for Ireland on both wings. Both better suited to 11 I think

Hansen will be interesting. Super attacker and really help with the creativity side. We’ll get to see how good his defence is. Wales have super wingers

Lazy Couch potato

Can’t see how you’d start any of those wingers ahead of balacoume. His size and speed are exactly whats needed.
Conway Earls OR Hansen as the other 2 in the 23

Guessed that when I saw Goggin getting a contract

The change when Farrell came on at 12 was noticeable on sat. Pity

Coombes at 13 is already better than goggin.
