Was there a Munster boot to the head there?

Brief_Lives · 25-04-2025 08:27PM

we are being out played and out coached by a bunch of lads that went bankrupt this year.. I'm sick of this sh!t..

disaster of a season, I accept the high injury count.. still not good to witness.

that was very close, the shot from behind shows the ball bouncing away from his hands as he's there. Think it was a very dicey call, and more to the point, if it was a penalty, then surely it would warrant a potential penalty try, given Haley was the only defender between the Cardiff player and the line?

Consistency of ridiculous interpretation is hardly something to be celebrated.

Pepp1989 · 25-04-2025 08:29PM

Their confidence looks shot. If I was to pin it, it would be the lineout falling apart v Bordeaux

Ah I think the Cardiff player would have struggled to regather the ball anyway.

The ball bounced away from Haley but he completely gave up on it and just focused on charging the Cardiff player.

Eoinbmw · 25-04-2025 08:29PM

Shocking that we cant get out of our own half the last 10 mins!

The lineout has been an issue all season. The game v leinster in croker it was as if leinster were throwing in on munsters behalf.

AbusesToilets · 25-04-2025 08:31PM

Munster's kicking (outside of Casey) is so poor. Their attacking shape is offering no questions to the Cardiff defense at all.

Yes exactly, is why I said he was lucky.

Pepp1989 · 25-04-2025 08:33PM

Serious risk of challenge cup next year now. The group have really failed to deliver. Good luck Clayton

Pepp1989 · 25-04-2025 08:36PM

No penalty for not rolling away in that last phase. The inconsistency is infuriating.

AbusesToilets · 25-04-2025 08:37PM

Cardiff well deserved win. Munster had nothing for them

budhabob · 25-04-2025 08:38PM

Very frustrating performance. Lineout is pathetic, attack is direction less.

With the retirees there is a rebuild of culture and approach next season ..... But so disappointing

oppiuy · 25-04-2025 08:38PM

You'd be fed up watching us. Everything is flat.raely break lines. I'd be questioning prendergast at this stage

fitz · 25-04-2025 08:39PM

As well as all the rest of their foot-shooting, the yellow cards Munster gave away were idiotic and cost them dearly.

Podge_irl · 25-04-2025 08:42PM

Casey is head and shoulders the best player on that Munster team at the moment.

CptMonkey · 25-04-2025 08:42PM

This has been one depressing season. It's gone from bad to worse. Hopefully new manager can help to turn things around somewhat. Be lucky to get top 8

Pepp1989 · 25-04-2025 08:42PM

Beirne is a world class player lads. World class.

But maybe take him off lineout calls and a new captain next year. You have to manage the referee. You have to establish a line in and set up a relationship. Then you start getting calls.

Cookiemunster · 25-04-2025 08:43PM

A failure to make the top 8 won't be down to games like tonight. It will be down to the powers that be sacking the coach and then the forwards coach leaving after 5 games and neither being replaced.

JanuarySnowstor · 25-04-2025 08:44PM

Can we still get through with 2 wins in last 2 games?

Pepp1989 · 25-04-2025 08:44PM

Prendergast needs front foot ball. We do not have enough carriers. Coombes/hodnett. That's pretty much it. None of our tight 5 are big carriers.

We can. We're up against it tho. Last season like this was probably around 10 years ago where we had to beat Scarlets on the last day to secure our Champions Cup spot…

Hey_Ho_Lets_Go_3 · 25-04-2025 08:48PM

Faletau was excellent.

It depends on other results

We're 7th but Stormers, Scarlets, Ulster and Connacht all have a chance at leapfrogging us this weekend, realistically Scarlets and Connacht are unlikely to but Stormers and Ulster have a good chance

We would then be 9th in the table so to climb up we would need other results to go our way as well as winning

Donnelly looks capable of it, as does Milne. Oddly enough Josh W has makes ground on carries.

Kleyn was a massive loss for a chunk of the season. Edogbo too, he has massive oomph.

Pepp1989 · 25-04-2025 08:54PM

16 games and 9 losses right? That's so poor.

Been a desperate season

Podge_irl · 25-04-2025 08:57PM

Both Munster's final two games are potential "10 pointers" in that they are against teams directly competing for the final spots.

I'd still back Munster relatively heavily to do it, but it does look worryingly like a contagion his kicked in. They will desperately need the week off.

P.Walnuts · 25-04-2025 09:01PM

I don't think it's a stretch to say If the lineout was at least functional in the last two weeks we wouldn't be talking about how Munster make top 8, it's been a mess
