Leinster v Munster URC Semi -Final match thread

I don’t think it will bother Leinster club/players provided they win next week….I could be wrong of course…

100% this. Another year where Leinster dominate the league then sh*t the bed when it really counts at the end with a p*ss poor team selection. With respect to Munster, this match may have been won on the field but it was also clearly lost in the selection. I know that the Heineken is what really matters for most Leinster but fielding a selection that weak in a semi final against a Munster team with nothing else to play for is terrible look. I can't decide if it was due to arrogance or if Cullen really doesn't give a f*ck about the URC. Maybe both.The pressure now against LAR will be titanic. Win and this failure will be forgotten (even though it should not be). However if we lose that (which is a real possibility) then this Leinster coaching ticket will 0 for 4 titles in two years where the were favourites to win at least 3 (if not all) of them. It seems that at the top we have learned nothing from last years clusterf*ck.

Regardless of the anti Leinster sh*te coming from various quarters, I will be cheering Munster on against the Stormers. I sincerely hope ye go on and lift the trophy.

You should look into stoicism. One of the principles is that often you can’t control what happens in life, but you can control how you to respond to it. We have a huge game next Saturday. No major injuries (assuming Conan and JOB are ok). This will help focus the minds for next week.

It really will. The HC is the over riding priority for this club. Its a 50/50 shot next week, but these clubs are measured by stars on the jersey. Without Johnny, it is even more important that we preserve our quality players for next week.

On the game, i think Munster were the better team but hugely aided by a poor (not bias) refereeing performance.

Even as a Leinster fan, delighted that O'Mahony finally gets an interview to enjoy. He has fronted up bravely on some horrible days. Credit too to Crowley and Carthy for that winning play. He took the kick very close to the ruck, needed a crisp pass and got it. fair play.

So why were they not in the 23?

Lol.

Rancid bait.

An additional thread should be automatically created along with the match threads here so that people can bark about the reffing non-stop.

Deegan a friend of yours or family member?

Leo thinks Munster won the game fair and square.

The scheduling of the semi the week before the HC final detracts from the URC. So you buy a season ticket but at the business end of the season your team is hamstrung. Not good enough.

It’s weird that instead of celebrating a great win by your team, you seem to prefer to wind up fans of another province. I’d suggest that says quite a lot about you as an individual. I hope in real life you’re a little more balanced, content with life and just having some craic on here.
