Big game. Hopefully we will do the business.
Not really a fork, but how much does this deserve Mr Flannery ?
I agree with a lot of this.Seemed to lack a game plan again under Tony McMahon.
Well played by Biarritz, very good discipline and they took their chances. Which is what matters.
Balshaw...LARK!
And if it weren't for it being a World Cup year next year, I'd be screaming for a transitional season where we let the young players loose and see how they develop.
The likes of DuncalnWilliams, Deasy. Zebo, Nagle (if he bulks up), O'Mahony....Frank Butler perhaps?, Lord Denning, Tommy O'Donnell. Maybe half of them will fail, but at least we'll know where we are with the future. But like I said. World Cup year.
No criticisms of the players. BO destroyed the scrum and lineout, so Munster did well to stay in the match. They had one lovely try - could have had a second, but Flannery's pass was just a bit awkward for ROG.
Interesting to see so much maturity in French rugby since the start of the year, especially after two years of shifting selection policy for the national team. Hope they don't forget how to take risks.
We had a sweepstake to see how long it would take to rip off Harinord's Man In The Iron Mask contraption - but it stayed on all the way through! Fair dues to him - he clearly played through alot of rib pain, which feels like getting stabbed.
Moment of the match - Buckley picking up BO's tighthead at a ruck and throwing him away.
Haha! Thought it looked a bit easy. Good laugh for everyone in our house.That was a 13 on his back, not 3. Did he really look like a prop's build to you?
To be fair, my dad made the same mistake, so I assume we're talking about the same incident.
I agree with this. If you ever visit a site like LF.com, there's much triumphalism about, declaring that Munster are old, need to rebuild and Leinster are a far better team. Bullshit basically since it doesn't acknowledge that more than 1/3 of the Leinster side have perhaps 2 years left as pro players (O'Driscoll, D'arcy, Fogarty, Wright, Hines , Cullen). With Jean De Villiers, Nick Williams and Julien Brugnaut leaving, it opens up three NIQ spots. Sign the right players and Munster can approach their rebuilding phase with some confidence. Did you hear the rumours coming from Galway that Ian Keatley has been approached by Munster management?But well I dont think future is that bleak and it easy say they finished and all that but in reality lads even if we were in our prime going to Basque region to play Biarritz was always a difficult assignment.
