[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 916031, member: 56767"] Ah, wouldn't say skills aren't important. Its more, it was the forward pack that was a finely honed instrument. Be it lineout, maul or ruck (which involve skills that need a lot of working on to get consistently right against the best), the Munster pack has pretty much always been respected across Europe since the Liginds - but the back play... erm. Lesser said the better. The old adage, "forwards win matches, backs decide by how much" would almost appear to be the institutional thought train of Munster. "Sure what do we need them for? We're gonna win it playing a 10 man game anyway." Even back in the day, an **expansive** Munster move would consist of Radge passing flat to big Trevor Halstead who'd crash her up with Quinny and Wally clearing the ruck out, for Strings to fire back inside to Leamy on the 2nd phase!
