Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

So we are downgrading hate to commentary on his coaching record? Please point to "gotten above his station" posts. There are Lads on here making Munster fans look like paranoid snowflakes.

So personal slight is a mature response? I'm not looking for post to defend a fairly level headed post - I directed you to it....it just required a little scrolling.

Sound.

Not only do we face the of blinding pace of South African back three players in the URC but we have it on an Irish team. It’s great preparation for club and country.

In the end of the day the following are the facts:

Very few outside of Munster saw Crowleys potential. Those who argued his case over the last 6 months have been proven correct! His worth to Munster is immense and that needs to be seen by Ireland aswell. Ronan has been vocal in talking up Prendergast on more than one occasion. Equally saying zilch to support Crowley until last night. So it's not anti Rog to point this out rather stating a fact.

Second point, nobody wanted the Munster coach outside of Prendegast. Rog was vocal here aswell in stating he had no interest, indeed coaching Australia was on his list. Its not anti Rog in reminding him of this, it's a fact!

Finally O Gara has been the best player Munster have had and is an absolute hero in my eyes. But I'll call out anyone if I see a player like Crowley being wronged and that wrong being cemented by the media

Rugby Travel Ireland had an email out where you could register an expression of interest in a trip.

It's up already seems to be 2 night only option....surely someone will do a day trip

The 'above his station' quote was from @almostover who seems to be a Munster follower ...

ROG was also one of the very first to back Crowley.

Even offered him a contract at La Rochelle, which Crowley turned down, so you could easily argue he recognised Crowley's ability before Munster.

Some of his comments in the media in the last six months have been odd, and didn't come across particularly well, even if it was just "calling it as he sees it", but even so, I think it comes from a good place of wanting Crowley and Munster to be as good as they can be.

great result Saturday. Well done to the team and all involved, Bordeaux showed some soft edges and I think we have a bit more than Ulster, that aimless kick just before half time really did for them. Good win v Connacht, good win v La Rochelle, big games the next 2 weekends aswell, great to be at the business end of the season, if we can just keep players fit.

Paddy Baird's crowd had a one night trip but it's currently fully booked (which is great to see) waiting list for another flight open now

anyone know if we do beat Bordeaux do we get home country advantage for any potential semi final or will it be away no matter what

No - both Toulon and Toulouse were ranked higher in the pools so a home SF isn't a possibility.

Fair play Munster!

ROG's position is likely untenable now with 8 losses and a draw since January 4th. Who'd have thought they'd be fighting to stay in the top 14 two years ago?
