Coombes or Casey for MOTM.

It's great to watch a real rugby match in the Pro14. They're rare.

A nod to Haley as well. Incredibly solid given the conditions.

Coetzee 8 tries 6 matches, Penny 4 starts 1 sub 5 tries, Coombes 6 tries now in 6 matches.

Doris doesn't play for Munster, as that couldn't be the Irish backrow as it's dominated by Leinsters every time they play each other

Hopefully get the BP now.

Kleyn

JK showing he can do it on a wet Monday in Glasgow.

Jumper · Post by **Jumper** » Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:00 pm

Kleyn deserves his try. He's had a very good game.

Nolanator · Post by **Nolanator** » Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:00 pm

Kleyn with the case you'd expect on a dry track.

He's certainly no Robbie Diack

Well played Munster, that was a good win.

Will be very interested to see how Casey goes in the HEC.

nabanoba · Post by **nabanoba** » Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:04 pm

Great to see Coombes shine in a proper dogfight in shite weather. Turnovers, tries, link play, aggression - early days, but v exciting prospect.

Rodney had 1 or 2 ok cameos which is more than Kleyn did

Coombes

Ireland captain material!

Two tough Pro 14 matches for Ulster & Munster

The Scottish sides always struggle during international breaks, they lose too many players to remain competitive. It is the Welsh that are the problem.

He’s like a bull in the motm interview. The leg is going 20.

I have to agree.

The gulf is only going to get bigger too.

Could we create divisions in the pro14. Provinces would get more out of it if they played each other more and the top 2/3 'others'

lemonhead · Post by **lemonhead** » Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:17 pm

Still miles off the top but for once there's competition in the squad, a style that suits us being a bunch of niggly f*cks on every play and skills are in the post.

Will take that every day of the week.

Its a real problem.
We are too good for this league.
Lose television audiences, lose the league.
Don't think the SA Super League clubs are the answer.
Have to be British Irish league, two divisions, promotion and relegation.

I think this will have to be the final outcome
There will be fear about the control the English spivs will bring to the table
Also is the death knell of:
a) The European Cup
b) Italian club rugby

But the welsh have boasted how games against the English will get their juices flowing so think of all that glorious Welsh TV money

Gavin Coombes Motm. He seems a bit camera shy as you would be at that age. As he was being interviewed his leg was twitching like a bull scratching his front leg as he’s about to charge the matador. Some man. Fair play to him.
He was probably full of beans. Enjoying these matches no doubt.
