Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

its great that hes getting minutes but i kinda want him to stick with one position and try and nail it down, i dont think the constant swapping between 10,12 and 15 is the best in the long term

i think thats fine short term but longer term its not a good thing, players like ian madigan and james hook became jack of all trades since they kept moving between positions. its fine for now but id hope by next season he focuses on 10 (or 12/15)

Like the idea of Crowley at 12 with Frisch outside him. Let's see how that goes. Joey seems to be finding a touch of spark again, slowly but surely. This back line looks decent. Murray back at 9 is interesting, Casey still hasn't quite made it.

Hodnett a little unlucky to be benched. Always shows huge workrate. Maybe not a game changer but he plays the 7 roles really well. The bench worries me slightly, an early injury to Kleyn or Beirne and we're goosed. Not sure what Rory Scannell offers us off the bench.

We're rightly screwed when John Ryan moves on. I still can't fathom how this came to pass. Maybe the damage was done by JvG. But we're letting a a 20 something cap international go who is playing and relying on a few young lads who haven't delivered anything near the level required and an even older prop who van be a penalty machine and was never mentioned for Ireland honours. It stinks tbh.

What would it cost to rent and run a rig like that for the few days leading up to the game?

Surely not the 100s of thousands (even millions?) it will cost Ulster to refund tickets, rent the replacement venue and all the other travel/relocation expenses anyway.

That does seem mad aright. I think Ashton was with Toulon when we played them in 17-18 tho, so he get plenty stick that day too. ;)

Ninety-nine!!!!!

That a yellow and a penalty try

Poor decision by the referee
