Re: Munster v Toulouse

Toulouse will take that score at HT. And we'll be delighted with it, down to 14 after 3 minutes and they haven't troubled our line yet. They have the ability to turn the game on its head, it's up to Munster to keep the score ticking over even if Toulouse take the lead. Only because of some very cyn...

Re: Munster v Toulouse

Murray kills the teams he plays for. His game isn't compatible with modern styles. He's got some great breaking options outside him in Carbery, DDA, Farrell, Earls, Haley but he doesn't care. Never has.

Can complain about coaching but the Munster pack is chock full of bang average players and the halfbacks have been inconsistent at best this season, that being generous. The Munster front 5 really is hamstringing them. They’re good in the lineout and have decent ball carriers and physical defenders...

Apparently Larkham says "it was fairly evenly matched throughout the game" about the league final. How can Munster get anywhere if the coaches believe that? I don't think the gap was that big. The big difference was ambition. Munster played conservative because that's what their big-time charlies l...

Munster are being a bit hard on themselves. There were stretches of the game when they were winning the gainline, it wasn't all Leinster dominating collisions.

He was indecisive and a bit laboured for most of the whale in attack. France weirdly looked better before he came back fro...

But he wasn't alone, there's something going on in that camp methinks.
