Munster v Toulon

[lynam1104]

Munster back row has really impressed me epically Leamy.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, Munster forwards are on fire,
It's a good job their backs aren't as good, otherwise Toulon would be royally ****ed

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

Right, should have been a 5m lineouts for Toulon

Munster clearly a step above, but Toulon has good intentions and capacity when they don't return the ball.

Stuck in work so I can't see the game but it seems like Munster are looking good for a try bonus point. Who's playing well?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Stringer has surprised me, he's having a good game,
Murphy/Earls are working well together, but they can't match the physicality of the Toulon pair (i think they said the 12 is a converter #8, and he's having no problem smashing through forwards, let alone Earls )
Buckley playing well, the whole pack is doing well actually, with the trys all coming from forward work

'We lahv ye ROG!' - Yeah wharreva love.



She'd have it though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Flannery on,
How long before he's back off/cited/fighting everyone?

 

[Amobokoboko]

Good game by Munster. Really enjoying it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bloody hell, Toulon gone to absolute sh*t.
That crossfield kick-try by O'Gara was quality

Wilkinson playing well since he cam on, but 1 vs 15 aren't good odds :lol:

 

[lynam1104]

Love how the crowd keep going ohhh awww .

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

2nd high tackle on JVN

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

Mignoni out has been a big issue in this match, Magnaval very young for this kind of match

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, i clocked that as well

There's talk of Wilkinson getting gouged a minute ago as well

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

Flannery on,
How long before he's back off/cited/fighting everyone?

No chance, off because of injury !!!

 

[cyRil]

That should end Toulon's interest in this season's competition.

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

That should end Toulon's interest in this season's competition.

Won't put money on this...
Even with no interest, they have pride and joy to take revenge at home. Munster il a level up, but not enough to dabble in coming there

Congratulations on Munster's team and public

I feel this game shows the difference between a team who have plenty of experienced players who play for a club that they've played for most of their professional career and one of their nationality, and essentially a Barbarians team who have left their 'pride clubs' and are getting paid big money to turn up on the day. Shocked that their were on;y 2 frenchies in Toulon's team though.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Good win by Munster

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

I'm not a Toulon's fan, and of course, even in France this club is easily called as a Barbarian one.
This is to forget that the club is, like Clermont, a big formation center, so I give them the benefice of the doubt, period to confirm that the international recruitment is just here the time for them to reach a national level.

Talking about money without beeing aware of what is planned/build with is stupid. Toulon is not a newbie, and has a real history in rugby.

Now I might be naive, but I don't think that a man like Wilkinson joined this club only for the cash, but maybe because the game plan projected (and other Côte d'azur plesaures) attracted him. I think his game style his much more large since he's here (really better in defense, and dangerous ball in hand. He's also a great man, and I understand why he's been annoblished

Wilkinson playing well since he cam on, but 1 vs 15 aren't good odds :lol:

Was that his usual Toulon form? That mini-run was mad.
