Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

CONSI

ah seriously, is it time to send Van Gran on his way, this tapping up players for his Bath project is getting ridiculous at this stage

He's taking alot of dead wood with him though bar DDA (if he signs for them).

Players such and Gallagher and ?????? Lay off with the hyperbole.

It's a surprising move for Gallager really seeing how little he's played under JVG at Munster.

Will we miss Gallagher? I'm surprised he's following JvG to Bath as he really hasn't seen much game time under him here.

Shehal

I hope this opens the door for Patrick Campbell to have a real break through next season.

Ya it makes sense with Patrick Campbell coming through and with zebo back.

I'm surprised he's not worked out he was excellent as a younger player at sarries and that was you would think a tougher team to get into

Pity about Gallagher, we probably didn't see the best of him. He scored a couple of tries early on for us, then had his injuries and then never really took any of the sporadic chances he got since.

Haley definitely has moved up a level too this season, he's knocking on the door internationally. Coupled with Zebo being back and running in tries like times of old and Campbell's very promising form I think it's the right call to let him go.

No second row cover, is that injury enforced?

Not a fan of Marcus Horan as a sideline analyst at all

Casey's on fire tonight !!!

Pretty ruthless display by Munster so far. Dragons are woeful, but the skill levels of show from Munster are very encouraging

joedamuss

We're playing fantastic rugby, very high tempo, with Casey and Farrell to the fore.

Akrasia

Jean Klyen is playing excellent rugby too

Akrasia

Casey, 50-22 😀

Dragons are just a bad team. You'd be furious if your under 12s switched off like that for the 5th try

budhabob

Haley has been at the centre of so many tries.

fitz

Munster's continuity has been really good, great support lines and hands on display. Dragons not making it difficult for them mind you...they're awful.

budhabob

Man of the Match......Munster!

Happyhouse22

Have to say wouldn’t be upset to see Casey starting ahead of Murray against Exeter..

joedamuss

Casey's a must if we want to play fast tempo rugby like we did tonight, Murray the legend that he is or was is too slow now to play that style of game.

phog

Munster carried for 800m tonight.

Scored 10 tries.

Warm the heart on a cold evening

You'd want something to warm your heart after any length of time in the MRSC Bar this evening

How good was Cloete yesterday, he was a contender for motm.

We ended the game with our four halfbacks on the field and the two backrow subs came on for our two locks.

He could be Irelands back up to van der Flier yet given leavys and conners injury record.

jimdemp

Hearing Munster are looking to get Alan Spicer down from Dublin.

Akrasia

Unlikely unless another Irish province sign him for next season. Connacht could benefit a lot from someone with his carrying and breakdown ability but not sure they could afford him

Excuse my ignorance, but is Spicer the Belvedere 2nd row playing Senior Cup currently? Is he highly rated?

I notice he didn’t start for Leinster in a couple of their most recent interpro games at his age grade. Sounds like a big lad though.

FrannoFan

Let him do his leaving cert first. Only in 5th year.
