Munster v Leinster Build Up Thread

sydthebeat

probably the most eagerly awaited game since the end of last season (when was that again?)

Munster coming in with a rich vein of form with 8 wins and one loss (the xmas game where ulster wiped the floor with them in the belfast)

Leinster come in in disastrous form of 8 wins and one loss (when the u14s lost against the plucky greenhorns of the wesht)

bookies have this -3 to Leinster

IBF says that Leinster wont take the lead at any stage in the game

therefore guaranteed TBP for the boys in blue !!

have at it....

I know I pretend to like Munster and generally support them but actually I don't. I know Connaugcht is likely going to be the club the IRFU cancels but I hope it's Munster.

How many false dawns have there been now? Seems every second year Munster fans get excited without looking at the big picture and think the glory days are back. Munster are the Scotland of club rugby.

The reality is the pro14 is guff. Leinster had to lose half their seconds to finally lose a game. Scotland have lost most of their talent and Wales don't have any talent anymore. It's not a competitive league.

The win against Clermont said more about Clermont than it did about Munster. Clermont when they were bothered turned Munster over with ease, their lack of fitness or interest shone through late on and all of a Sudden Red is the New All Black.

I don't think Munster have the team to compete. Going down through the starters:

Kilcoyne - might maybe over take an ancient Healy by 2025 after Healy has been retired for two seasons.
Hooker and tighthead ok but not great - 3.6 roentgen territory.
Locks - when Snyman comes back we'll have something to talk about, until then Munster should have tried harder for Roux and given Dillane a proper look (both likely to be available pretty imminently).
Backrow - two internationals but always struggle against Leinster 2nds and 3rds
Murray - good enough to make the Leinster bench
Ben Healy - for absolutely no reason I've yet to see at all, is apparently Dan Carters spirit animal
DeAllende was told the TV cameras in Ireland were ancient and that's why the videos of Munster he was being shown looked pre 2009. Videos were actually pre 2009 Munster which is why he decided to join, is still waiting to meet Hayes.
Back 3? Backwards 3 more like. Not a hoop Toulouse are sniffing around any of these lads, wouldn't even make the Leinster back line for second half of Leinster v Connaufgcht a few weeks back.

So yeah, I reckon a Munster win. Leinster players will already know they're in the Ireland squad and Munster will have a lot more to play for. Leinster lads will be minding themselves.

IBF will be drinking shots out of Jessica Alba's bellybutton at half time only for Munster to stage a come back against another completely disinterested team.

I preferred the Venjur that monopolised the off-topic thread.

Damn Premier Sports UK (hardly work with a proxy and Sky GO app on a laptop ?)

Can't justify paying for Eir Sport

I'd say very few people pay for Eir Sport. The vast majority of subscribers would be via broadband.

don't rely on a vpn to use this. I did for about 2 years and it worked great until it stopped right before last years Six Nations and not long after they were bought by Sky NZ

It's going to be easier to support Munster next season when Madigan is the starting out half.

I suppose a lot of fans will desert Leinster right enough if Madigan returns to them... we'll welcome you with open arms.

They got smart with VPNs. So needed to get a smarter VPN

Can't see Munster being interested as he'd be away too frequently with Ireland. Apparently.

6-2 split for Leinster. Both fairly fully loaded. Looking forward to this now!

Surprising selections in there.

Left wing debut for Jimmy. Would have thought Kearney in there, he's been great.

No Bent on the bench is surprising too. Big show of faith in Clarkson.

Baird out of the 23 altogether. Thought he'd be included. Leavy also.

Tough calls for Leo to make though.

Good to see Garry back

Clegg

Shame Dave didn't make it. Been the best wing in the country this season. Great to see Ringrose back.

Strong 23 but we're really feeling the impact of back three injuries.
