    Munster win without BP
    Call a spade a spade, if we can't put 4 tries past what is essentially a depleted opposition who have one eye on a domestic match next week at home when it counts we have no business being in the quarter finals.

    Hopefully they'll deliver though!

    Paddy Power have shifted Leinster out to 25/1 to win the H Cup. They fully expect us to win with the bonus.

    Could be a decent bet at that price though!

    Well it's in our hands now, win with a BP and we're through (I think). We'll be level on points with Leinster but ahead on try difference. A shame the Montpellier won today but once that result came through then there was a possibility of only one more Irish province going through.

    Hope we build up an ealry head of steama and get close to the BP early or I'll be carried out of Thomond Park, my heart wont take it.

    Likewise, get to the ground early and plenty of support. Shame kick off is so early, always good to get the few pints in.

    The best hope for Leinster, is the Metro 2nd's going all out to impress individually tomorrow against Munster. But at any level (from H Cup to AIL) that individual stuff rarely works, and leads to mistakes.

    Munster will miss ROG's contribution tomorrow, tapping it over their heads into the corner is a great way to get near the try line (not to speak the obvious).

    Leinster did what was aksed of them over the two weekends. If Munster can respond now to what's asked of them, it's in their hands and good luck to them. If they fail they'll be directly sending Leinster into the quarters. But at least its in Munster's hands.

    And then all of us on with our green jerseys after tomorrow !!!

    Or how to turn on the sprinklers at Thomond Park? Running all night should do the trick.

    Needless to say, all of Leinster will be cheering on Metro tomorrow, as it directly effects our own teams prospects. I don't necessarily want Munster to lose, just don't want them to get the BP. I'd be delighted for Munster of they hockied Racing, just as long as they don't score more than 3 tries in the process ;)

    I can't see how Munster can't do it, Racing have handed them the spot even by the team they're sending over. It's really really disapointing the difference in attitudes between Exeter and Racing towards two teams in the same position, but that's the way it goes I suppose.

    In terms of who goes through, I think Leinster would have a much better chance at winning the thing than Munster would. Can't see Munster going beyond the quarters if they do go through. Amlin could be a different story.

    Dare I suggest it but is ROG being unavailable better for Munster for this one?

    This season they seem to play a more expansive game with Keatley at 10.

    No excuses tomorrow, our last 2 performances wouldn't inspire any confidence but they weren't in Thomond Park. It's business time and there is no better place than TP.

    Regardless of the team sent over by RM , I believe we have the quality to get the TBP anyway and let's hope we see something like the performance against Northampton at the same stage last season.

    Bedtime, early start in the morning, plan on being pretty hoarse by 3pm!

    Mon Munster!

    Absolutely. Let's give Irish rugby the boost. Common the Munster :pac:

    I was nearly doing a jig when I heard he was cited.

    I'm hoping that since his contract for Ireland essentially runs out after the 6N, Penney is given a free reign to choose who he wants.

    (I don't doubt RoG was the most important player over the past years for Munster, more than PoC and Axel but he's hampering us atm. There are those who refuse to admit it but Keatley is the future. At least the immediate future and am hoping Keatley steps up tomorrow.)

    Frosty, dry and sunny in Limerick at the moment, hopefully, it stays like that for the game.

    I'm nervous but excited, really hope we manage to get the 4 tries toady and get into the quarters, by then hopefully, we'll POC back and can add another player to the sqaud.

    G'wan Munster.

    Don't think it'll be too hot by the time you get to the game. Empty, perhaps!

    Enjoy it. But not too much ;)

    What we all need is for Embra to beat Sarries. Then we could get three Irish teams into the quarters. ;)

    If Edinburgh beat Sarries, and we end up topping the group, Leinster and Munster will go through...

    However, Munster would then face a clash with Toulon/Toulouse away in all probability.

    Féck that, Quins please. :P
