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....

Spoofer confirmed

Ringrose was alright

Stop picking Hanrahan please.

That is so true. But you need to bang your head against a wall many times before it registers at Munster

I think that was worst decision of all. He is going to be way off the pace and all the more reason for a Munster win

Could well be. It was definitely someone you would have backed Stander to have dominated in that particular situation.

I think there was a collective panic after Leinster went ahead. Casey needed one of the senior players to tell him to play, but that call didn't come.

I think it was his instructions from the coaches because it's certainly not his natural game. Box kick was effective for long periods but chasing the game in the last 5min and resorting to that!! Lots of positives for Munster but against your benchmark team it's all about the result

Pretty sure Luke McGrath stopped him dead when he had a little head of steam at one stage in the first half.

Will live in infamy alongside the time when Kleyn failed to clear JGP from a ruck.

A bit unnecessary. He answered your statement with facts

Would have been nice to see Healy get a few more minutes mind you.

Dorris is rather ineffective as a carrier, and Ruddock. Coombes to be jettisoned into the Irish squad.

Ryan had an incredible game in all facets. He carried the Leinster pack at times. Hard to name another Leinster forward who really had a strong game. Some were solid but he was way, way above.

Porter 80 minutes
Doris was good
Fardy Connors and Ruddock put in some big tackles

Set piece was good.

I didnt want to come on and give the usual Toland pre game bashing....

So i will do it post game...

He is without doubt the worst commentator in rugby...he has no business commenting in this era.....he was a middling player in his time, has zero credibility as an analyst now.

He really makes the game less enjoyable by listening to him....

The comment about Joy Nevilles pregnancy was inappropriate and even the main commentator ignored it...

Toland is cringeworthy

Nobody's as bad as phil kearns but ya is probably one off the faves for second worst

What nerve!!!

Indeed. He should follow the example of his head coach.

All incorrect decisions have an impact on the game.

Leinster very poor in some areas. Same set piece issues that have dogged us all season. Munster not scoring in 68 minutes is very poor though.

Beirne deserving of motm on account of the two big turnovers and try but thought Ryan put in a much more influential shift overall.

Murray and Henshaw both excellent, Henshaw outplaying his opposite number.

Score flatters Munster a bit tbh, Leinster left a lot of chances out there and Larmour's lack of match fitness really hurt us at times.

I really, really, really hope Reggie Corrigan is there with his microphone...

Watching that makes it even more disappointing from a Connavht point of view we didn't get over the line against Munster. So poor in attack, but on the plus side for them Beirne is having a savage season. I know Murray played well tonight as well but I think we're seeing more and more he is still a game managing expert but there's really no trick up his sleeve anymore, he's not going to break a game. (Altough even worse was seeing the potentially electric Casey coming on and...... box kicking repeatedly) Anyone else for the 6 nations please even though it absolutely won't happen

Leinster are a spent force. They lived off Munster mistakes. The back 3 for Munster destroyed the Leinster back 3. Hopefully those fools calling for Ruddock will stfu.

Connor Murray shows why he's still number 1.

Haley really made a case for himself tonight.

Sorry, I'm mostly a lurker, but, is this a serious post or taking the piss?

68 minutes. Very disappointing.

Larmour was poor in the air. Looked dangerous ball in hand mind you. Keenan had another solid game and did extremely well for the try.

The Leinster centres put in a very good defensive shift and shut down a lot of attacks. De Allende is a.horse of a carrier but from.what I can recall from the game he made most of his metres out wider. Think Ringrose and Henshaw did a good job on him. Farrell was anonymous.

Murray is our best scrum half, but seems to be coached out of playing a high tempo passing game. His kicking game is great, when he decides to pass, it is always delayed. Quicker ball from ruck would of provided Munster with much more go forward ball tonight. McGrath played with much better tempo. Personally get frustrated everytime I see Murray delaying his pass, it's the same at international level.

JGP Keegan and Larmour all involved in the games decisive score.

But yet they were destroyed.
