    I discovered that Roly's beef is supplied by John Hayes.
    What a ligindary restaurant. :)

    Hello Mr. Child,

    Are you trying to groom me? If so I urge the Mods to ban you and to make Tusla aware of your despicable actions. :mad:

    I remember a simpler time. A time where most posters talked to each other like respectful and polite adults. A time when you could open the forum and find interesting and relevant discussions going on to partake in.

    Sigh......

    I wouldn't be too worried about that! The sight of hordes of wealthy, well-educated people on all sides of the ground is normally sufficient to trigger Munster's permanent feeling of inadequacy and resentment.

    Additionally, the incentive for POM to have a second attempt at ending Stuart Hogg's rugby career for good will have him lepping up and down and frothing at the mouth like a Duracell bunny on crack cocaine.

    Any tips for surviving the opulent cornucopia of Merrion Rd? I suppose keep the knuckles above knee height and the slack jawed awe gaping at the urban splendor to a minimum?

    Plenty of Munster fans in the ground already. I’d say the atmosphere should be cracking by kick off time.

    If the game was in the Aviva I'd be less confident from a Leinster pov, but they'll be wounded after last week and the thoughts of Munster winning on their patch should serve as enough of a battle cry for them. I can't see the Leinster side letting that happen and they've the quality on the pitch to ensure it doesn't. A scrappy enough affair for me with Leinster just doing enough to keep Munster at bay.

    Good start from Leinster.

    Hopefully they can keep that level up.

    Off to a good start. I'm not sure Munster will be able to keep up with the intensity if they're trying to emulate Saracens.

    Munster fans mostly in the cheap seats in the North and south stand

    I know Leinster got the ball in the end but how have the officials missed that forward pass?

    Someone needs to tell Lowe to tighten his shorts.

    This is great stuff.

    Larmour is being used as a link man a lot here. It's not always working but we're getting outside Munster's defence.

    Seriously that's a yellow card???
    Surely that's a genuine attempt to catch the ball?

    Think that’s harsh. Thought it was a genuine effort at the intercept. Will take it though and hopefully we can take advantage.

    Good game so far

    He was nowhere near it in fairness. It's the gamble you play, when you snatch at it with one hand, if it doesn't go to hand it's a yellow.

    He's trying to gather it at it goes through him.

    It's not like he slapped it forward with no genuine attempt to gather it.

    This all came from a knock-on against Ringrose when he clearly didn't touch it either.

    Infringement of a linebreak into opposition 22= yellow card, I believe he was trying to go for the intercept but when you go for it with one hand opposed to two, it’s going to be a yellow all day long

    Went in 1 handed so when knocked on and there was an attack going on it's a decision for the ref
