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....

If your are in Ireland then that won't work. Now TV are very specific on their website that you cannot get pro14 matches by buying nowtv passes.

I think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell :mad:

Any good streams knocking around?

Liam Toland and Murray Kinsella, I am led to believe.

Keith Earls catches a high ball in the back field, fumbles it and knocks on.

Toland: "That's a strategic master class from Keith Earls, a 5m scrum is a perfect opportunity for Munster to assert their scrum dominance, that's the value of having that kind of experience on the field - Munster will be licking their lips here".

Edit: Conor Morris and Liam Toland, more likely.

Anyone know if Toland is on commentary tonight?

If he is it will have to deferred coverage on TG4 for me.

Who are we expecting to win this? Leinster are favourites but Munster have been in good form recently I believe?

AFAIK Eir hold the Irish rights so Premier is for UK audiences only. Lots of people have been stung by this.

Agreed.

And since it's the only context in which you'll hear "Munster" and "creative" in the same breath, long may it continue.

Very tame match thread. Gone are the blessed days when three red kings had to take it to twitter to have a public outrage.

Think this is the first time Ruddock and POM have played against each other in a good few years - they used to have a bit of a thing didn't they?

Ok, let's take on the challenge Venjur. Sexton is looking incredibly brittle these days. I'm not a Ross Byrne believer so while I believe Van Graan offers nothing new to Munster I wouldn't be surprised of a Munster win. Leinster's line speed is so much better than Munsters but if you take away the playmaker suddenly the bulldozing Munster doesn't look a bad option.

I'm a bit curious how this game will pan out. I believe Sexton needs to be retired but I don't see the alternative in leinster at the moment. So maybe the men from the south can make hay in the interim

Meh, without Rob Kearney around it just wouldn't be the same.

Prediction:

80 minutes of POM scowling with pashun not enough to match the flair and beauty of Leinster rugby.

Turnips to lose by 25, Ruddock to win MOTM

Naw, Munster will be scrambling to score for the last twenty to try and secure a losing BP.

Munsters best bet is that Leinster do a Clermont on it and go to sleep after getting a handy Try BP after 30 minutes.

A thought.

Leavy would be one of Leinsters more prolific breakdown forwards.

I wonder are Leinster playing a bit towards Braces breakdown interpretations.

They've struggled with them in the past. Possibly they're not planning on contesting at all which would eliminate a real point of difference for Leavy and possible why he's dropped
