Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

Strange the media are stoking up whether we look to bring Murray in now that Casey is injured, wouldnt be a very strong vote of confidence for our existing scrum halves

Is he not retired anyway?

RTE the one's making the most of it, they had a full article leading with it (by the journalist who actually asked the question):

Munster are hopeful that Craig Casey's injury is not too serious but haven’t ruled out making contact with retired scrum-half Conor Murray.

But if you hear the audio, it was pretty much swatted away by McMillan. I'd imagine it's not very likely whatsoever tbh.

For anybody who signed up for a membership this season without a season ticket (including a ticket for a non-Leinster URC game) the details of redeeming the ticket is in MRSC FAQ’s 2025

I'm not sure what's going on with tickets for the Munster match in Cork in Friday evening. First there was only south terrace tickets left. Then south and east. Then south, east and north. And now all them plus west. Noticed similar happening at last match there too. Its not like they're resale so bit odd

Some of those injured lads coming back will be like new signings. Edogbo very close to a return, he has the potential to be an absolute game-changer for us, really hope he comes back at the level he was at. Salanoa is obviously very much a lesser known quantity. We've Farrell and Nash also to come in, Kilgallon looked very exciting but he can't stay fit, not too far away from a return apparently. I like the way McMillan is having these lads as part of the warm up instead of in the stands, getting them out on the pitch. Need Milne back too, he might play this weekend?

Thought Coughlan at 9 was poor, PFP was an upgrade. Casey should be fit for Leinster match by the sounds of things. He's become a very important player for us now Murray has moved on, we were spoiled having him coming on.

Cardiff were very good the other night, surprised me. Thought we weren't fully at the races, definitely a level below the opener. Still, good to win ugly.

Crowley was deservedly MOTM (but was not without his flaws), Tom Aherne was up there too - he is really laying down a marker. Keep him fit and he'll knock on the door internationally, super workrate in terms of hitting rucks, a banker in the lineout and a great nose for the try-line.

Need our 7s back soon, JOD and Quinn can plug a hole but Kendellen and Hodnett are a cut above them at the moment. Wonder will Edogbo Óg get a run?

We've a ridiculous amount of backrow riches now. I'd love to see a 4-8 of Edogbo/Aherne/Coombes/Hodnett/Gleeson some time.

Marnus van der Merwe, the scarlets hooker

the source is planet rugby, so it's probably bullsh!t as his agent knows the editor and contract negotiations will be starting soon.

Will make for a grand big bar on matchdays, get a band in for afterwards, put on a free bus service back to the city centre, get some students in to man a card only bar.

Local pubs won't like it but hey ho, that's competition.
