No. So many people have called him overrated that he is no longer overrated (He does suck though). It's sort of like how John Hayes won the unsung hero award a few years in a row (surely unsung hero award is an oxymoron anyway).

Ulster
Payne (P)

Pienaar (NIQ)
Muller (NIQ)
Afoa (NIQ)

Munster
Stander (P)
Botha (NIQ)
WdP (NIQ)
Lualala (NIQ)
Howlett (NIQ)

Leinster
Strauss (P)
Nacewa (NIQ)
VdM (NIQ)

Seems right to me.

So if Munster come up against Ulster again this season then we should all expect Hugh Farrelly to write an article about how if Munster win it'll be bad for Irish rugby!

Browsing a few pages, a lot of SA fans are upset Stander is leaving. That can only be a good omen!

Unfortunately he won't be available until the conclusion of the Currie Cup.

Munster can always cross their fingers that him leaving might piss off the bulls management and they might consider an early release.

As long as he gets here before the AIs, otherwise he's effectively increasing the amount of time it'll take for him to qualify by 3 months!

A great young back row Munster have now. Maybe a little lacking in the short term but full of potential.

Just saw it on MFs, Munster now have a BJ, CJ and JJ. Where's the DJ?

jesus I have an image of Mark Robson from Sky saying:

"Here comes Cian Healy, also known as DJC (DJ Church). If you remove the D and invert the JC, you get CJ Stander's first name"

"So 'C' stands for 'CJ'. What does the extra J stand for?"
"That's a typo."

Squad outlook for next season.

Fishooks12 · 21-06-2012, 13:30

I think Danny Barnes could have a big year. The guy is almost the forgotten man of the group of promising young Irish backs that have emerged

I think the style of "attack" we played last year wasn't suited to him so hopefully Penney can get him improving again

Is he going to play ahead of Downey, Laulala and Earls?

and i'd expect Dineen & Hanrahan to jump ahead of him in the queue next season.

thomond2006 · 21-06-2012, 14:04

Yeah Barnes may not get much gametime next season, remember his time in the HEC team last season was down to Earls being injured (went off against Leinster in the Aviva, I was there).
