Unsure about today but for the Glasgow game it was unassigned.

First come first serve always with Musgrave!

Lovely day for it here!

Who wants to predict the order of the first four?

It really can go anyway. I'll go with,

Ospreys
Munster
Ulster
Warriors

That could knock him out of contention for the world cup. Major blow for him personally given the season hes had.

That would mean Ulster reserves winning in Glasgow. That's not going to happen. Munster are going to struggle for the top two even if they get a BP win today.

Would much rather have met Ulster at home in the semis, a Kingspan final is potentially far more challenging now.

First home SF since 2010/11 so I'll take that first of all. Of course getting Ulster would have been better, aside from avoiding them in Belfast I'd prefer to play them over Ospreys.

Defence needs to tighten up for next weekend, we shouldn't be conceding 27 points at home to the dragons but Axel will know that. Who plays 7 is the big question. I like to see O Donohue come in with POM playing an openside role.

I wouldn't worry too much about the defence. It was always going to be a bit loose given Munster got what they need early in the match.

The game today was open because Munster were going all out to score trys. Next week will be cup rugby and it'll be a much tighter game. Pens will be sent through the post rather than into the corner.

I'd say tickets will be available on the day.

Yeah, not a hope of selling 26000 tickets in a week. Still though if you want to be sure of getting your normal spot it's better to buy them now.

Don't know why you'd sell it now as all 3 players still play so can't see it being worth much.

When POC and Earls have retired and Murray is about to retire it might be worth something then.

So what's going on here? the red army is saying thank you to Connacht tonight??:D

Before the match today we were chatting to a few guys about how we saw the day unfold, all of us thought Munster would win and get the BP win but a few thought that Glasgow and Osprey's would also get a BP win.

In comparing our away game v Dragons earlier in the season one guy said we scored 5 tries there so we should have no difficulty in doing so in IIP.

So in total, we scored 13 tries v Dragons this season, that's some haul of tries.

Cheers for the advice, just said I'd mention it as i came across it and it seems like a waste just to be hanging in the wardrobe.

Mine was worn with pride many times and washed so only Paulie's signature remains...he's made of special stuff, right down to his signature

Couldn't wear mine if i wanted to , it's only a medium and the last time i saw a medium was in the back of a caravan at a county fair.

Was this through ticketmaster? Trying to get some but there are no decent tickets on sale, only the end sections of each of the stands.

They don not appear to be on sale through the Munster site either

Mrsc members can access tickets that are not on general sale. Cat A were selling fast last night.

Tyler Bleyendaal warmed up with the squad yesterday as did Johne Murphy, Tyler looked bigger than I thought he was, he looked taller and broader than Keatley.

He brought out a kicking tee but I didn't notice if he took kicks at goal during the warm up, Murray certainly too a few.

Tyler took a couple of kicks at goal alright, Foley was watching quote closely while doing so also!

He's a lot bigger than I thought he was..
Looks fairly promising.. Be nice to see him maybe make the bench next week..

MRSC and Munster clubs have first pick on the good tickets until 6pm Monday. After that everything goes on general sale.

Earls is such a special player. Joe has to find a place for him in the Irish side for the RWC.
