    I think there's only one solution, as supporters we need to get to the games and cheer them on as passionately as we can. Hopefully next weekends match against New Zealand will be a turning point

    As above, it's not on TV. It's exclusively on the Access Munster site.

    How come this fixture with such a history is being limited re viewers in this way?

    Well, it’s an All Blacks “XV” and not the actual All Blacks, but the answer is money.

    The match is available in NZ on TV but in Ireland and the UK it's available on Access Munster

    Any word on Edogbo’s recovery? Presume it’ll be at least 2025 before we see him back on the pitch?

    Money

    If you're tech minded you could try using a VPN in any country other than Ireland, the UK or New Zealand and the match is free on NZR+

    positives from the Sharks game

    Billy Burns cross field kicks

    Munster stayed in the fight to the end and showed a lot of grit

    Simple errors lead to tries for the opposition- going asleep straight after a penalty was blown allowed the Sharks to go quickly and score a try

    a previous post referred to a bug in the squad but no source so that might explain some of the performance

    Really worry about what we're going to do about the front row options after this year-has it actually been confirmed about not being able to sign NIQ props?

    We'll really be bunched if that's the case.

    Rowntree gone with immediate effect. Did anyone see that coming?

    Cozzie taking over in the interim

    If they feel Rowntree was an issue its probably better getting rid of him now than letting the issues persist.

    very strange decision..maybe he had enough, cant imagine it was Munster that pulled the trigger on that.

    I am shocked he is gone, particularly with the all blacks game this week, but something had to change.

    Wasn't expecting that at all especially with the timing. Seems it was his side as couldn't see Munster doing it now.

    I'm really disappointed. I liked Rowntree. Felt he understood the club well. Always spoke honestly.

    Will always be grateful for cape town 2023.

    Well that's something I definitely wasn't expecting to hear this morning. Very, very surprised at that.

    Id be shocked if this decision was made by Munster. But I was under the impression to GR really enjoyed coaching and living here.

    This is really disappointing and potentially a big setback for the club. He’s been a good HC overall for us, and it’s really hard finding good HCs out there.

    I'm incredibly surprised by the nature of how it has happened, though I was inclined to think he wasn't going to make it into next season without a massive turnaround.

    Madness, don't think results are bad enough to let him go at all, he's proven in the last two seasons he's able to turn around a bad start.

    Would love to hear his side of things

    That's a blow and a shock, game wise he was taking us in the right direction despite recent results. Costello might get the main gig now. There were murmurings that Flanagan might be going but losing our head coach 6 games into the league is very bad timing and it won't be easy to get a replacement one mid season.

    I can't imagine they will even try and get a new coach for mid-season. I'd say the lads there will have to carry it on an interim basis through.

    Suspect Felix Jones has already received a call…

    Agreed

    Has to be more to this than results.

    Last thing Munster need is yet another change.

    Very very surprising. Can only imagine that it was his decision, as trying to replace a Head coach mid season will be a nightmare.

    Will be extremely interesting to hear the story in the coming days

    Jones is apparently expected to see out a years gardening leave with England before he can take up a new job. I suppose an arrangement can be reached with the RFU for early release of it comes down to it.
