One other thing from the article, Milne expected to stay with Leinster. He's a very good player, fairly pleased about that. Yeah Im guessing that means Ed Byrne will be leaving, as Boyle/McCarthy have signed deals to join senior squad from academy. Of course we all know contracts mean little if the...

Would have been a good signing. Is Kinsella talking shit then? Munster were linked with Bulls hooker Johan Grobbelaar earlier this season but it’s believed that he will not be joining them Weird that Munster had the go ahead for that but now it's for some reason revoked? thought the talk was that i...

I dunno, he mentions that they almost signed Grobbelaar. so he sort of contradicts himself on no NIQ signings..

Munster had permission on a NIQ hooker in Grobbelaar but that fell through after he got called into SA squad.

speaking of looseheads, Boyle looking fairly bulky at the weekend against Shannon.

some interesting rumours going around about POM and Rowntree that was sort of alluded to on OTB on Monday. Has there been a falling out over the contract?

thought it notable POM went straight down the tunnel after being taken off on sunday.

Murray stated that Foxe came through Munster underage setup which is incorrect. Hasnt played all season, which is a shame.. unclear what his injury has been.

Munster have two notable looseheads coming through with Emmet Calvey and Jamie Conway.

Murray goes deep on Munster: FOR THE SECOND season in a row, Munster exited the Champions Cup at the Round of 16 stage. It’s certainly not what Graham Rowntree’s side aspire to. There’s no doubt a crippling injury list and the sickness that swept through their squad last week were big contributing f...

McGuire and McNeice are 6'6. Yeah, both props looked like very big men. Easily 6' 2" or 6" 3" with more growing to do. For me in the parts I managed to watch I felt Conway was better able to use his size than Walsh but they both have the time to develop They must be big so if the lads are 6'6. Don'...

I finished watching the U18s matches. Props. Had a tough day against France but dominated Italy and Portugal. The 2 starters for Portugal are in French academies according to the commentator.

Munster appealing Ryan's red card, not a leg to stand on in my eyes. Jaysus. Desperation act. Doesn't speak well to the mindset IMHO.

Is there any chance we could hang on to him next season as a NIQ player? Snyman going frees up a spot.

presumably but then youd have to choose between your two centres to see who you keep beyond 2025
