Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

What a fcuking try straight after the fcuking restart.

Jump_In_Jack

Tempted to flick over to the Ulster match but this Munster team look like they’ll score a few more tries yet

Jump_In_Jack

Great to be watching this style of rugby after so many years of kick chase and 1 out carries

Jump_In_Jack

Joy to behold, Scannell running a brilliantl line, the slip pass from Kleyn to Wycherley, wow

In a match where Ireland got held up over the line 4 times, you'd love to have seen Coombes on the bench over Conan. He's virtually unstoppable in those finals in inches

Kleyn has been brilliant this year. Think Ireland are missing a trick not calling him up to camp

He got held up in this game!

Jump_In_Jack

Zebo!!

Jump_In_Jack

Daly is playing really well

There's been a bunch of kids in that corner calling Zebo's name all match, they'll be delighted

And scored one!

What's up with Carbery's kicking tonight - rest of his game very solid

leakyboots

Nice try off first phase but Ospreys are a bit of a rabble at this stage

Jump_In_Jack

Daly!! Serious performance, thought we’d struggle to replace Haley but Daly has slotted in and impressed, and I thought his yellow was a poor call by the ref

Cut the welsh teams back to 2 regions.....

Absolute dire performance....they should be like scotland and italy...

They’re missing their best 15 players, we’re missing about 5, and we’re at home

Jump_In_Jack

Never saw Coughlan play before but I reckon he’s a bit of a gem, he looks raw but has a bit of speed and intelligence about his play

Serious gas from Barron there

I saw him out in UL last summer. an A game against Ulster A. He was excellent that day. One of the 3 lads from Ennis that made the academy, I think.

Some wheels on Barron there.

Must be mid 20s tries for Coombes now? Phenomenal record. Was great in the lineout too today.

Some scoreline, Welsh rugby is in the toilet at the moment

Tight game in the end... :P Great to get the tbp and that's massive for our points difference

pickarooney

Coombes again going over the line backwards. Looks a legitimately good tactic as it's nigh on impossible to tackle

Jump_In_Jack

Team performance, Delighted with Fekitoa, and could have given about 5 players the MOTM award, Gavin getting that last try was the icing on the cake.

Most satisfying thing was the desire shown to attack attack attack, free flowing rugby, put the foot on their throat and didn’t let up. The subs were as good when they came on, this is a serious squad coming together now, great optimism going into the latter stage of the league stage now!!

By my reckoning (open to correction) that's 31 tries in 65 games for Coombes.

Outrageous. Baffles me how he's not seeing more game-time with Ireland.

I can understand the Joey thing cos he's been a mixed bag for a while. Coombes drop in form was very brief. He brings much more to the table than Conan. Maybe he just doesn't suit the game Farrell wants.

i actually like the conviction from the ref on that one, too many refs look for reasons not to card players cause its too early in the game etc,.

if its a card-worthy offence (im taking about singular offences rather than repeated infringements) then a card should be given, whether its the first or the last minute.

in all seriousness, what did he do that deserved a yellow? on replay I didn’t even think it was a penalty, I thought he worked really hard to get back and get on his feet to contest the ruck

Watching on delay.

Superb work by Frisch for Fekitoa's try (team's second).

I look forward to some day digging up the old posts calling me a weirdo when I suggested a few months ago that he could be a RWC bolter.

Coombes was playing second row and scored three tries. WTF

pickarooney

Incredible engine on Coombes. It was a fairly weak Ospreys side but he did not stop running at, over and through them all game.
