Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

Think Munster will do it. Bulls are a side that blow hot and cold, especially away from home.

clsmooth · 15-10-2022 06:42PM

Great start from Edogbo. He’s got some size for a 19 year old!

Clegg · 15-10-2022 06:47PM

I like the ambition of Munsters play. However they're very inaccurate.

Shehal · 15-10-2022 06:58PM

If this was a competition for knocking the ball on Munster would be well out in front.

joedamuss · 15-10-2022 07:03PM

Plenty of effort but we're playing a bit frantic, still basic skills letting us down at times, promising though

joedamuss · 15-10-2022 07:11PM

Ah boy Coombes he should have had two

Clegg · 15-10-2022 07:17PM

Munster easily have the measure of the Bulls. They're winning every collision and have a monopoly on possession and territory.

budhabob · 15-10-2022 07:20PM

I do think there has been signs of the new coaching ticket this season, but they forgot to have the foundation to work from. Going back to some of the strengths tonight and building from there is the right call.

Shehal · 15-10-2022 07:26PM

I think Budhabob is right overall, you can see what the coaching staff are trying to implement and I am confident eventually it will all come together but It feels the basics are what letting Munster down more than anything.

To be fair tonight has been the best Munster have been so far, its starting to come together more albeit still very inaccurate.

Also not to take away credit for Munster but the Bulls have been absolutely dire so far, if Munster keep their head down they could really put them to the sword tonight.

joedamuss · 15-10-2022 07:27PM

Definitely seeing green shoots, Casey,Carberry have been good Coombes, Beirne and the young lock in the pack as well.

Akrasia · 15-10-2022 07:27PM

Much much better this week.were getting what we need quick ball, power in the pack, size in the lineout and we're making the bulls look like the blues(yes I know they beat us)

Akrasia · 15-10-2022 07:30PM

I think we'll be even better in the 2nd half . Carbery has been ok but Crowley will do better if he's brought in at 10. Ahern combined with the wind at our back is almost guaranteed lineouts and territory gained

Edwin Edogbo is a game changer. When Snyman comes back we'll have 2 players of that size and impact. At the business end of the season this matters a lot.

We still have a couple of tricks up our sleeve. Alex Kendellen should be back soon, and Daniel Okeke will be back when he recovers from his leg surgery.

Clegg · 15-10-2022 07:39PM

lol

Bulls are a rabble

15-10-2022 07:40PM

That's an utterly appalling score to give away.

Clegg · 15-10-2022 07:42PM

At the end of the first half the Bulls had run 49m off 44 carries. They've been mullered in contact.

No surprise they're now resorting to cheap shots.

15-10-2022 07:46PM

Clear knock on missed there, player dropped the ball.

eigrod · 15-10-2022 07:47PM

still too many mistakes. Criminal against 14 that.

Former Former Former · 15-10-2022 07:54PM

There's no question that's the right call, but did the TV producer influence it? Looks very much like it.

Crowley very grateful for it anyway

Clegg · 15-10-2022 07:54PM

By the letter of the law that's a penalty to Munster. But it's utterly ludicrous to penalise the Bulls for it. Their player can't legislate for an awful pass that Goggin has to jump to regather.

15-10-2022 07:58PM

Maybe they need to differentiate between jumping for a contestable kick and jumping for a pass.

budhabob · 15-10-2022 08:00PM

Aherne has the potential to be an absolute game changer. He's quite unique in terms of physical ability.

CIARAN_BOYLE · 15-10-2022 08:00PM

I have to say I really like the look of Edogbo. I think he could break through as a regular this season which would be amazing given his age.

2nd row is probably our strongest part of the unit now. Edogbo, aherne, Beirne, klein, snyman, wycherly... Kelly and o Connor too.

No worries anytime soon there at least. Great to see.

Shehal · 15-10-2022 08:02PM

2 Bulls tries and both came directly from a Munster knock on...

budhabob · 15-10-2022 08:04PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119749499#Comment_119749499

Back row is similarly well stocked to be fair.

Strumms · 15-10-2022 08:04PM

Suspicion of a no arms tackle / shoulder charge by a bulls player in the lead up to their try…sure offsides being ignored all game why not that ?

eigrod · 15-10-2022 08:09PM

This team would frustrate the life out of ya

kuang1 · 15-10-2022 08:14PM

Love crowleys attitude in general. He seems to have a little bit of a sexton edge to him.

Shehal · 15-10-2022 08:16PM

No Adamson, when Munster did it in the first half it was a penalty.

Then again this is a ref straight from the Glasgow Warriors rugby forum so I guess it isnt a surprise Irish sides get a raw deal when he's the ref.
