[QUOTE="profitius, post: 916497, member: 41524"] I'd say it's because they were less professional than other teams and the semi finals being a lottery. Munster in the early 2000s were still a bit amateur. Players going for pints after matches etc. Whenever they speak about are time it sounds like they'd great craic! Whenever the semi finals were drawn, Munster usually ended up away. The statistics show that the home team has a much greater chance of winning. One time when Munster did get a home semi it was against Leinster in Dublin! Having a draw for it was a really cr@p idea. Also some of the matches lost were unlucky. Very tight in many cases. That generation of players had to transition from the very amateur Irish rugby to being up with the most professional sides in the world. [/QUOTE]
