Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

What a win today by Munster women's team, absolutely hammered Leinster. Great for the club and game.

I was watching YouTube last night and as I was about to exit the App I saw a short clip from Munster Rugby about the recent open training day in Ennis. Obviously there was a focus on Tony & Ethan and one of them mentioned about the memories they had was a B&I game that was played there.

It's a shame that the competition died a death and that Munster has started to play their InterPros in Musgrave Park, I can see why they do but there's a negative too. I remember heading off to clubs around the province watching B&I cup games and they always attracted a huge group of underage fans that miss out on what Ethan or Tony experienced that day in Ennis

Might I suggest a choice between:

Munster Team Talk Thread - Lineouts Sorted: Locks Stocked and Two Throwing Barrons

Munster Team Talk Thread - Lineouts Sorted: Locks Stocked and Two Hooking Barrons

I prefer the latter of those two choices personally.

Or of course, keep other suggestions coming.

Or simplify above to:

Munster Team Talk Thread - Locks Stocked and Two Smoking/Hooking/Throwing Barrons
Whatever word is best before Barrons.

You can only play what is in front of you….

How new and young players are brought into the team will be very interesting.

There’s really a lot of competition in the backs, loads of quality centres, wingers and fullbacks.

I’ve no idea how good Kelly or Gibbons are as centre options, and O’Brien has been outstanding as centre and wing cover. Nankivell and Farrell are the incumbents but who knows how it will go if the others get opportunities.

Wingers wise we’re spoiled for choice. Nash and Kilgallen perhaps first choice, but Daly, Abrahams, Smith and McCarthy could all push for a spot.

Haley will be under pressure too at fullback with Abrahams, Daly and O’Connor all capable substitutes, possibly McCarthy another option.

I think Outhalf is perfectly balanced, we have an established international with an experienced backup and a young understudy, as well as two talented academy 10’s also.

Scrumhalf we have an established international and two very similarly talented nippy scrum halves, as well as another one in the academy, if we adopt a rapid distribution from the 9 we’ll certainly have a few players to implement that.

The forwards are a bit more untested, there are a lot of young players that need opportunities.
To name just a few, Gleeson, Quinn, the Edogbo brothers, O’Connell - these could all be future internationals in the making.
The question is, how do they get game time? Which matches and how many per 23.
