New Munster chat thread folks. warning deserved there. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=109477571#post109477571
To be fair to FFF, I think that was another poster.
But entirely agree with your overall point; it’s not just this weekend or even this season.
Again, that is your perspective on it and it's clearly shared by a number of others here. I don't agree with it at all tbh but each to his own
Apologies fff so I'm getting people mixed up
Duncan Casey may have been wrong about Tom Daly but at least he right about Dom Morris
I mean, with the regularity that you hammer Munster, combined with a certain level of snark involved, one might be forgiven for remaining sceptical about your perspective and fandom of all things Munster. Not me tho obviously. 😉
Anyways, probably best to just leave it there, so enjoy the game FFF. Complete with young players n’all. (And I mean that genuinely, in case I'm bringing some snark of my own).
These comments don't reflect well on Van Graan at all.
Munster have signed far more high profile players than Leinster over the last few years. If he has a problem then he should look at his own recruitment strategy.
Then he should reflect on why he hasn't been able to anywhere near the best from De Allende and indeed squad as a whole.
I think you’re reading a lot into a single sentence from a third-hand source.
Matfield made that comment on supersport prior to the Embra game earlier. So either he made it up, or its the truth. Why would he lie?
Not sure what JVG expected, Leinster to just hand over players willingly?
De Allende, RGS, Jenkins, Zebo, Gallagher, Haley, Beirne, Carbery, Arno Botha all signed on his watch. But yeah Leinster blah blah blah
Did you see the clip yourself, Burkie?
Maybe they were speaking Afrikaans and something was lost in translation.
If its made up then its irrelevant obviously, but if true it shows a similar lack of understanding that MOC showed I think. Munster are pretty objectively "bringing in" better players, Leinster just have better players coming through their academy (for the most part)
Name the "better players" that they have brought in dda and snyman are the only two big names recently
Ignoring two RWC winning players seems like an odd place to start. Few enough players have been brought into Irish rugby full stop the last few years. Who have Leinster even brought in recently?
Beirne
Carbery
Jenkins
Haley
Gallagher
Zebo
Also Arno Botha
So your saying they are bringing in better players instead of developing them is built around 2 players? Ignoring the large numbers of academy players being promoted and playing
Arno botha
Jesus arno bothas gone and all. Zebos from munster he's an Academy product.jenkins hasn't played a game the other 4 are Irish qualified. Meanwhile we have I think 7 players in the starting team today that have been promoted from the academy in the last 2 years
They are all signed since JvG took over
Says a lot that you think a guy from cork and a guy that's gone two years are stopping young talent. Let the province that have never signed a player cast the forst dtonr. You've ignored the young players actually playing also.
I'm not talking about stopping young talent. I'm talking about the Matfield comments regarding JVG
Every province has signed players as long as its not hindering development its not an issue
No, I'm saying complaining about Leinster bringing in better players makes no sense considering Munster have brought in better players than Leinster.
Unless by "all the good players go to Leinster" he means Leinster are getting better players out of their academy which means he doesn't understand the Irish system. Or he is covering his ass.
Yera jvg can feck off at this stage man's checked out iv no time for him
He’d a fairly petty disrespectful interview with Murray kinsella too pre game ….
I saw people chat about that but didn't see it. What was the general gist?
At the moment on form munster are 100% the 4th province, now one ye get a attacking minded coach that will change within a season. But munster like Britain are living in the glow of their history and ignoring the present. Apart from 1999 season, as a connacht support, ulster are my 2nd team now
Didn't age too well
OK, I admire munster for winning the game with 14 but let's be honest, Zebo might have got the ball maybe 2 times in the last 60 minutes so it made little difference, if it was a forward it MIGHT had made a difference. I am really surprised how poor Ulster was, I really thought they would have targeted this game. Like the premiership the other 3 teams are just playing for Europe. This is a connacht fan who was roaring at rhe TV for munster during the wasp game
Crowley had a mare ,
Yeadh ….disappointing ….his number 1 fan on the Munster rugby pages on fb is very quite 😀😀.he’s young tho and has time ….big step up from the flashes of brilliance at u20 level
