Hot take #1:

Munster winning on Saturday against a Leinster 1st XV would be a bigger milestone for the team than winning the URC last year.

Munster winning a Heineken Cup would probably mean more to me than Ireland winning a World Cup.

Completely outside of their qualities as players Ireland will suffer massively without a few horrible ******** like Sexton and O'Mahony in the team. Our team going forward is a bit too nice.

'Whinging' at the ref works and if your captain isn't doing it, your team will suffer. I also don't see any issue with other players raising issues to the ref, as long as it's not just outright dogs abuse.

Ban incoming. In the most backhanded manner possible I can't deny it's a hot take though.

Leicester Tigers has done more for Irish rugby than Connacht and Ulster combined

This was Leo Cullen before he moved to Leicester and got exposed to Greggs and the pollution in your drinking water

You've all ruined it…

Beauden Barrett is a utility back and shouldn't be discussed in the best 10s of all time / of his era conversation.

Champions cup> World Cup

URC>premiership since the pandemic

Ball in play time is a better metric than penalty count for game quality.

I'm a bit shocked a Munster man such as yourself would make such a take. Not when back to back sexiest man in Leicester winner Mr Rowntree is your head coach.

Ardie savea was the best player on the park, from either side, in the all blacks 2018 loss to Ireland

Can't remember every individual performance but recall thinking he was class that day. He was the best player on the pitch this year for the QF for sure. He's different gravy on his day

Gavin Coombes' won't be any better than Rhys Ruddock was.
