Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

At least we'll get to see how munster can cope without the foreign contingent, a good test for some of the young Irish lads

On a slight tangent, is getting injured in your personal life considered to be contractually equal to an injury training/playing if you are a pro athlete?

Idiots.

Or else the petrol story is because the truth is far more embarrassing.

I'd be very interested to hear what could be more embarrassing for a grown man suffering significant injuries due to throwing a potent fuel on open flames!

Looking on the bright side, at least CJ hasn't blamed the ref for the incident - yet!

Has he posted a video of himself sweeping up in the garden yet

I know it's easy to criticise people for lacking common sense after the fact, but i actually hate when people do that because "common sense" is only common after the fact and things have gone wrong. But I would have thought that at least one of the SA boys would be experienced at setting fires and would have told them the petrol is a terrible (and unnecessary) idea. Maybe none of them had a clue about what they were doing.

I hope they're all ok but that's a bit ridiculous. CJ to miss his final game with Munster.

We started the Rainbow Cup well, but performances in last couple of games have been lackluster. Really only have ourselves to blame for missing out - the blueprint for beating Connacht was there and we didn't have to deviate from what we had been doing, just needed to get lineouts right and maul.

Probably too late to have an impact on team selection (and the firepit incident will have caused disruption anyways), but will be interesting to see who gets a run out.

I'd say being experienced at making fires is exactly what led someone to say, sure throw some petrol on it there, I've done it loads of times, be grand.
