Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

A real leader/ captain like performance from Casey tonight, he never let the tempo drop & drove standards.

Milne & Barron for early days look like good signings.

My gut feeling is the last 2 games are our season done with.

Happy to get CC qualification secured.

We've a good few issues to sort & new boss man will take time to bed..post Xmas the earliest.

We did it, it should never have come down to the wire but it did and we pulled off two bonus points wins in the last two games.

Casey's goal kicking took everyone by surprise and it adds to his bow for Irish selection. He's really come on leaps and bounds in the last season or so. Tho' he was glaringly at fault for one of their tries.

What a game POM had, Coombes too, their workload was immense.Nash was fantastic under the high ball.

Mike Adamson should not be reffing at this level, he's not competent enough.

Knockout rugby can take care of itself, the job over the last two weeks was to get us there and keep us in Champions Rugby next season and that job is done 💪

I found Pete's lack of self regard in that scrum phenomenal, lots of movement in the scrum and he stretches a leg out to rob the ball.....

Glasgow would be a better option for fans given all the French travel.

I've been feeling this over the last few weeks despite the losses. There's a very good squad and management being assembled bit by bit. Tighthead as you say is an issue but that's nationwide so it looks like a couple of the younger guys will need to be put on an accelerated path. Unfortunately it's not a position where fastracking is often successful. Young prospects in that space often flatter to decieve if they fail to develop physically or fail to grasp the subtleties if the job.

All in all, a lot to be hopeful about.

I'm probably in a minority, but I believe is time for Murray and POM to move on. Are they still capable of playing to a high standard - without a doubt! But they are the most influential players in the squad, have been regularly the focus of "player movements/feedback" etc. Munster need to move on, no more links to days of folklore, start to create their own history.

Time for the team to show up or shut up.…next season.

Anything this year as you say is a bonus as little was expected.

I can see where you're coming from and wouldn't hugely disagree with you on it but leadership isn't easily thought either. We've seen both Casey & Jack stepping into a leadership role too on and off the field so maybe as you say, it's time to start the next bit of history for Munster.

I love a bossy halfback, with Casey & Crowley we have two.
