Over Reliance on Munster players makes me sick

    It pisses me off so much to see munster players constantly adorn the irish jersey in such hefty numbers every time the boys in green take to the field.
    Munster are just not a good enough breed of player for international rugby, lets be honest.
    Who have they produce in the last decade worthy of an ireland cap.

    The only players i would have in my Irish starting lineup are:
    1Hayes 3Horan 5 Oconnel and 10 Ogara

    I hate too see people D.Wallace play instead of Shane Jennings and Gleeson, hes useless, Donncha Ocallaghan is a pretty boy, He is not nearly as effective as Leo Cullen or Bob Casey or indeed Big Mal, and Leamy is an awful player, no skill just a big awkward arse, Ferris should definitely take his place.
    They are good club unit, average at that, with an easy path to win the Heineken Cup, Toulouse playing their second team.

    And now with Kidney in charge, we can only dream of seeing the best 15 being picked for Ireland in the years too come.

    I presume Im not the only one with these views, anyone concur?

    Oh dear, I shudder to think what you've started!!! Not many will agree with your points I feel. I'm not going to get into the merits of individual players, we'd be here all day. However, I don't think a single person could possibly agree with your view of Munster's "easy route" to the Heineken cup final - Wasps, Clermont, Toulouse - probably 3 of the top 4 European club sides (the other being Munster) all beaten!!!

    Clermont played their second team twice. The only win munster deserve credit for is wasps at home.

    Do you seriously thinnk that not many will agree with my points??? I disagree

    Ok iv had to take a few deep breaths but are you serious?!?! I thought you were going to start going on about how without Munster, Ireland would be f*****d..... David Wallace is without a shadow of doubt the best 7 in Ireland id go as far to say Europe..... O'Callaghan??? Have you watched rugby this season... Casey has one good game against mediocre opposition who couldn't even catch a ball and suddenly he's better then one of Ireland and Munsters most consistent performers tbh not even gonna consider the other two Cullen has proven he's not up t the big games and Mal is past it altho he was never quite "it" either :eek:


    Ferris is very average did you watch RTE's analysis on him before the BaaBaas thought it was harsh but true....... Leamy is very good but only at six altho he was immense in the H-Cup final il give you heaslip as yeah he's a more imposing number 8.


    Who have they produce in the last decade worthy of an ireland cap..... id continue but out of fear that this is just a wind up il let it go. aside from BOD and Fitzgerald (who will be a star) what have Leinster contributed????:D:D:D

    I hope this is a poor attempt at a wind up,

    If not I'm sorry to tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.

    2/10 for this piece of wummery

    Only 2 Clermont players played in both games so how can you say the played their second team twice

    and of course Toulouse played their second team last week. I think Toulouse could well have won if they hadn't left Kelleher, Ellisalde, Heymans, Pelous and Jauzion at home in France.

    Thread locked, if another mod wants to re-open feel free, I just think this will descend into provincial drivel.
