Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

to be fair, he just scuffed that penalty, hes usually good up to about 48m which isnt massive but its pretty acceptable - o gara's range was about that in general

That's castres first HC win in 5 years apparently.

Yeah that’s about right. I remember O’Gara kicking a winning penalty against Leicester in Welford road from the halfway line on a bad day. Think that was late 2006 or about then.

Crowley was poor today. Missed kicks and forward passes galore. I felt the entire backline stood far too flat and whilst that's the job of the 10 to organise better, I wonder what's going on in training. That's an issue that should be solved by the coaches midweek really.

So you have one job to do and that is “ kick ball OFF the pitch “ . Nobody asking you to drop a goal from forty meters, put a pass on a sixpence or nail a conversion from the touchdown. Just kick the bluudy ball off the park and you cannot do that.

yeah that was about 47/48m, think welford road is only about 90m tryline to tryline

Ya. Season defining game for all the wrong reasons. Casey one was the worst. Anything less than season ended would be good news. Just the way he dropped on his own.

Blueler probably won't be available next week or two. The way he folded back when he was on his knees is not good.

Casey looks a season ender. Anything less then that is a good result.

things is there’s a massive drop off to burns and butler …..Crowley is feeling the pressure and expectation and it’s showing ….really hope he bounces back

There’s massive issues with the team and behind the scenes …rowntree leaving iso quick has left many unanswered questions for me

Burns was dropped for a 6 2. Munster coaches would rather no ten then burns. If joey or Ben healy were still around jack would have been hooked. The squad is getting weaker year on year.

Munster played like Ireland in the recent game v the ABs and like Ireland should have won but we were lucky to get the LBP.

Scrum penalty, error, scrum penalty, error and repeat. Castres only made territory by getting kicks to touch from penalties.

Knocking on the ball from the restart after we went ahead was criminal.

Watching that last kick, the ball was inch perfect until the Castres player kept it in play, if he's your player you're praising him. Awful way for the game to end for Crowley & Munster but it would have been a robbery for us to win it.

The worst part of tonight is the injuries, especially to Casey, he's been having a great run of games though Patterson really kept Munster motoring when he came on.

pretty spot on tbh, was fantastic play to keep it in rather than a terrible kick from crowley, id be more annoyed at the call to not get scannell to go for points rather than anything crowley did there

Tony butler has played more than Ben Healy has this season

That will tell you where Ben Healy is at right now

too long for crowley but rory scannell has (or at least had) the range for that, hindsight is 20-20 obviously but i didnt think munster were going to get a better position that were they were
