    When is the team announced?

    Will miss the game because I've a match myself. Obviously the Munster junior rugby board care little for the Lunster supporters playing across the province!

    Noon tomorrow.

    What are the good pubs around the ground for post-match Munster watching?


    Oil Can Harrys, Lower Mount St has been great recently for games.

    Walk another 5 mins over the bridge towards town from Ballsbridge, projectors, screens, tvs, pool, roof terrace and usually enough seats as it is just far enough away for people not to walk est. 10 min from ground.

    Awec go for the full treatment. Go to one of the nice pubs where they serve mochas and pay boggers to pull the pints (cultural outreach). You'll need to cheer for Clermont though.

    Mochas?

    Might head to Kielys or the Horse Show, will see where the wind takes me.

    If you're looking for atmosphere, why not post on the Munster thread and see if they can recommend any pubs where the fans are likely to be?

    They'd be my prefence. Depending on how lazy I am. Horse Show House has a massive screen so it's handy, but Kiely's is the better pub, comfy seats and a great selection of beers for the average boozer.

    Don't want to be walking too far. Be grand! :)

    Kielys is about a good 8-10 minute walk through the crowds from RDS and will probably have a 100 or so there already before the crowds come in for Munster. Usually standing room only if its back to back games but its a great spot and the 15 foot HD projector near the food area and new projector to the right of the door are a welcome bonus.

    I would be very surprised if you got seats in Kiely's after coming from the RDS

    You can usually nab a stool tho! They have mad comfy stools.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,308 Mod ✭✭✭✭.ak


    So with that in mind my team would be:

    Healy, Cronin, Ross, Cullen, Roux, McLoughlin, SOB, Heaslip; Boss, Sexton, Nacewa, D'Arcy, O'Driscoll, McFadden, Kearney

    Strauss, McGrath, Hagan, Toner, Jennings, Cooney, Madigan, O'Malley

    I'd go with that. Although I don't think EOM is fit, so I'd put Conway at 23.

    Has there been any updates on him? Kind of worrying the way he is fading in and out. Hopefully he can get a good pre-season in, although I suspect if he's fit he'll be another body for one of the two summer tours

    Madigan is too good to leave out and should be accommodated at 12 or 15

    out for the rest of the season I think is what I heard a few weeks ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭ssaye


    Someone on LF

    Darcy/Goodman a doubt

    "
    Interesting 10, 12 combo in store I would gather.
    Will be accommodating both of the lads with JS at 10.

    "

    Who knows?

    Training that way apparently in UCD


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,308 Mod ✭✭✭✭.ak


    He's played there before, so I'd imagine it shouldnt be a problem, however I'd rather see McFadden slotting in there with whoever's on the bench to step up.

    Ian tackles like a demon but will need to especially again Traille giving 5 inches away

    Around the side and into Ciss Maddens's then, it's usually less busy.

    And harder to see the screens in fairness. Grand old mans pubs for normal days but match days its a pain unless you have a good seat imo.

    Yeah well some of us old men like the old man pubs! :p

    He's tackled props and back rowers plenty of times and it's been no problem to him. I think he's ask a lot more question of Traille than Traille will of him. Traille isn't exactly a speed merchant, mostly just runs hard and straight; facing someone like Madigan who's acceleration and step are very good could be troublesome for Traille.

    Indeed just when you have to do it from 12 for a whole game in a position you dont always play its not ideal to be up against someone 5 inches bigger.

    Just little things, Traille will certainly struggle with Ian's little sparks of genius.

    If you get into the Horseshow fairly lively after the game you'll be grand. I've been in after games in Landsdowne Rd and while I haven't been able to get seats then there's always been plenty of room to stand, which doesn't bother me tbh. It's not going to be any worse than that on Saturday.

    Sounds like a plan!

    GIMME AN L!

    As I guessed it appears SOB is out after all, not training again today and backrow reserves not in A game

    Must have a knock

    Backrow probably
    Kevin
    Shane
    Jamie
