Right, let's get into this, why are Munster the way they are?
Their best players on the weekend included POM and Zebo. What's going on with the young lads?

Re: Leinster vs Leicester Tigers
It’s one of Leo’s many objectively shit calls. Backing Ross Byrne instead of developing one of at keasf two FHs (not including Prendergast) that have a higher ceiling is another. As is picking Luke McGrath over JGP for three seasons. How many crucial HEC games have we lost with McGrath and/or Byrne...

Milei's ideas have hints of (brutal) logic but he's the last person you'd want to implement them.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Bit disappointed in Munster. Beirne and POM were superb in the forwards, thought Coombes did a great job as well. Ahern and Hodnett were good but probably outmuscled by their opposition. Thought hte backs were a disappointment. Zebo aside, where was the invention? Didn't think Nankivell or Frisch g...

Re: Leinster vs Leicester Tigers
The only individuals who should be judged for how Beirne's career panned out are Beirne and a little bit Pivac for taking a punt on him. That's nonsense. Fogarty wanted to keep him on the roster, Cullen decided he wasn't worth the punt. We all know why he made that decision but objectively it was a...
