Magners League, HEC, 6 Nations and Lions?

[shazbooger]

The guy interviewing POC mentioned what the Munster lads could be playing for this year.

They have the Magners League and the Grand Slam. The are hot favourites for the HEC and there is the possibility of winning a Lions Tour.

Lots still to play for but Jesus what result that would be. Why would you play on, you couldnt top it could you? They all may as well just retire if they won all those?

Alternatively, think of how fooked these guys are going to be when they get down there.

Ah shur, they'll be grand! The likes of Wallace, ROG, Quinlan and Flannery know they'r ein their last couple of seasons so they'll give it everything and O'Connell's captain and Earls is in his first big season so he'll never get tired EVER.

ThenO'Leary has won an all-Ireland Minor medal so he clearly never tires.

Which leaves the question of Donnocha. He's clearly never gonna stop being a winner. He has: a Munster senior Schools Cup medal, U19s World Cup medal, Celtic Cup medal, 2 (maybe 3 by then) Heineken Cup medals, he'll have a magners league medal, and a 6 nations medal for the Grand slam!

they'll be grand, none of them have won a Lions series so that's another huge incentive to up their game, as for being tired they've been rested enough throughout the season to be burnt out come June/July well bar Earls and Quinlan but they're not going to be starting the tests.

Teams like the Blues have a big representation too so it's not just Munster.

But the Blues players havent a chance of winning the Magners or the Grand Slam.

I was focusing more on the potential achievement, not so much the tiredness (though I still think it'll be a factor)
