Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

I think we can take it that JVG and Rowntree are staying.

If they were all leaving then it would make sense to announce them at the same time

IMO our attack and skillset have improved under Larkham.

Another upheaval in the Munster coaching merry go around

I'd have liked if he had stayed on but Covid is a game changer for a lot of people. I think most of us hoped that vaccines would be a silver bullet but we seem to stumble on from one restriction to another and it must be very difficult for professional sports people uprooting themselves and family and heading to the other side of the world.

Stephen Larkham confirmed as new Brumbies head coach

Hard to argue with when it's a head coach gig at his home club

What route would Munster have taken to/from SA?

Dunno how that works with say a connecting flight to Ireland, would people be let travel with common travel area say? Probably for another thread but curious

Ah fair shout, didn't click flights are being banned altogether. Fairly serious so

Need to get out of SA asap

These two games in SA preceding the European fixtures were flagged before the season started as being something that could have a major impact on the European games.

If a travel ban means the wasps fixture cant be played the organisers cant penalise munster like the way it went last season.

Its also looking like munster will go into a major european game having not played for 7 weeks which in itself is a massive disadvantage.

I can see this being a big issue and one not of munster makings.

The players safety should come first above any concerns over games. Especially considering some of the Munster squad may remain unvaccinated.
