That’s that

ScrubsfanChris · 20-04-2019 4:38pm

That's what you get for ZERO imagination

kmart6 · 20-04-2019 4:39pm

All very easy.

People can say Billy V was being booed earlier but there were cheers every time for him countering it.

Squidgy Black · 20-04-2019 4:39pm

And that's game.

PTH2009 · 20-04-2019 4:39pm

Ah **** that's that for another year

Next season do we really want another semi final exit ???

degsie · 20-04-2019 4:39pm

You could see the delight on the ref's face when the try was scored

20-04-2019 4:39pm

Score probably reflects where the two teams are at, sadly.

I said it after the Munster Leinster game at Christmas, and I’ll say it again. Munster are a very limited team. There is just a lack of quality there.

They play like 15 grunts. There is no brains, no imagination. Just 80 minutes of trying to run over the top of players and when it doesn’t work just try it some more.

6 semi finals lost in a row, and still nothing has changed.

Nonsense.

Earls is probably the only one that can do something a little magical at pace so losing him drained them off any inventiveness.

Quality is not the issue . Game play is . You're probably looking at the winners here

Munster singing drowned out by the fat lady.

I think a semi was the best Munster could have hoped for so it’s a good season over all.

Squad needs improvement in the pack to be in with a shot at silverware.

They're incapable of holding onto the ball and scoring against top teams.

I don't think they were going to win this game anyway, they were murdered in the air and on the deck. Just not enough quality to counter Baby England.

Without Earls they lack any sort of guile in the backline. That should not be the case though. Scannell, Sweetnam, Conway are all talented footballers. That they look so clueless is an indictment of the coaching team.

And in typical irish fashion, coaches contract is already renewed

I blame the IRFU somewhat, in that they shouldn't have permitted Munster to hire such substandard coaches. Foley, Jones et al. Flannery is seemingly decent, but they have done the players a disservice with the set up there.

is jones contract renewed?
needs to get back making music with his band

But assistants are not... I think JVG is looking to bring in some fresh blood

Jones is the problem. He's doing nothing.

Munster also lack the core skills to execute a more intricate gameplan, it takes a few seasons to build that up and change the culture. I don't blame JvG.

I don’t have a problem with JvG’s contract, it’s Jones’ I have the issue with. This reminds me of the semi defeat to Clermont, another step to far, but Mannix was run out of town as the backs were playing woefully. At least then there was a game plan, albeit ineffectivelh, i don’t even know what Jones is attempting, you’d see better drilled backline in under age rugby.
