    Agree guys that Kidney is playing it safe but TBH on the Carney issue I would think that he is a few months away from playing at this level yet. Against Ulster he looked strong with the ball in hand but in the breakdown seemed lost. Only game time will help him and tonight isn't the time for this.
    I don't see what the big issue is about Kidney and the thought that Munster will try to dominate and keep it tight, this is always the way with Munster, they play to their strengths as we saw away to Bourgoin when they tried to play loose rugby they were exposed.
    I'm happy with the team and think they can come away from a very difficult ground with a win.

    Conservative lineup with a capital "C".

    Anyway hope the tried and trusted come good. Kidneys no mug, he knows what hes doing.

    You might say it's easy in hindsight, but Kidney got the selection wrong last night.

    He chose Foley over JOS, and it looks like Foley probably wasn't even fit.

    Without POC dominance in the pack was far less likely. So compensation for this elsewhere was needed. John Kelly, Anthony Horgan and Dowling may all be competent defensively, but they just don't offer even the possibility of magic that might turn a game. Carney and Earls have pace at least. Inexperienced? Yes, of couse. But they offer something. The others don't. And when you can't establish authority in the pack, you need players outside you who can conjure something up off the backfoot. Munster didn't bother to pick any.

    As I said in the other thread, this was a failure to evolve coming home to roost. Munster brought in precious little personnel after last year. They tried to repeat the same game plans over again. And without POC and Payne last night it was never going to be enough.

    just like he did the season he betrayed us by picking a stupid back row to play against Leicester.

    You really need to get over your disappointment of losing Kidney or it will wear you down, try to settle down and support Leinster under their current coach however long he'll stay around after their performance today.

    Eh, it's not disappointment it's annoyance at the fact that Kidney ****ed us over and ****ed off to feather his own nest.
