Munster Team Talk Thread - Snymans are(n't) Forever

Im guessing we'll need to finish 2nd (and win our QF) to get home advantage in the semi finals ? Few other scenario's if we finish 3rd etc

Leinster vs Munster final in Croke Park

Since the tour to SA is the first time this season that we have had impact players available for the bench, I go back to one of our CC games in Thomond Park, the weather changed in the 2nd half, our bench wasn't strong enough to hold the lead. The difference in SA was night and day. Hopefully, we do it again tomorrow evening.

Ashamed, that one took me a while 😭

Munster A 47 - AIL XV 28

Duggan very in from the side there

Thats serious ruck speed

RG on his first home start!

Lovely try by Nash, really skint Tom Farrell on the outside there.

nash and now beirne have been over the ball and should have gotten a peno but never given.

Poor reffing that puts players unnecessarily in line for injury

Sounded like O'Mahony and Beirne were making that exact point to the ref.

Great evening for rugby, dry ball, sunny evening, great crowd. It wasn't a classic but some great tries. Connacht will be disappointed to not have scored one or two more tries, one after Zebo chased back to put in a huge tackle, poor option later not to pass out to an overlap.

Excellent result for Munster

The only downside for Munster is Crowley's & Ahern's injuries.

Zebo is having some great games for Munster, a few excellent passes/offloads tonight and a few brilliant tackles, at least two try saving tackles.

Celebrating someone else scoring is a little easier to take.

You needed worry when Zebo retires that's the last of the players playing the game with a smile on their face & some bit of a personality.

It's a personal choice but I always liked the confidence he has to match the bit of flair.

A bit like the studio analysis it's gone out of the game

Hmmm, Zebo has always been light-hearted enough throughout his career, so I don't think it was out of character.

Dodgy celebrations aside, his handling skills are up there with the best I've seen, great playmaker and passer. He had one lovely wristy pass across the defence to set someone free down the wing to go with the feint and give later. The kids love him too, nice to see a bit of personality on the pitch.

I don't think he's that different a player to be honest, he's just doing what he does. If he was less flash he'd probably get more credit to be honest, scoring rate alone is incredible (not this season, mind… but he has created).

Would still have Haley ahead of him but a great squad member in his twilight
