Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

The three young lads in the BR were continually taking ball up as part of a one out pod last week, effectively playing a version of RL and yes Coombes is deadly in the 5 metre red zone but you have to get there first.

That's an interesting backline, would love to see Kilgallen cut loose on the pitch, he has the goods but I think a couple of poor performances earlier in the season cost him game-time. Daly at 13 is interesting, he doesn't have the wheels to be a top winger but 15 or 13 could be a good fit for him. Has become a very solid player in the Haley mould.

Kilgallen's initialy acceleration when he has grass in front of him seems ridiculously good so hoping for a good performance from him. Plenty of gas on the wings with him and Abrahams, but I'd be a little concerned under the contestables.

Hopefully Butler can put in a solid showing, and put both wings away during the game. Scotstoun isn't an easy place to go, but with him in situ during the week, instead of being thrown in due to injury during the warm-up, he'll hopefully be in a better spot to up his performance.

A win tonight would go a long way to being top 4 at the end of the season.

Currently sandwiched between Ulster and Cardiff who play each other sat night a win for Munster could well put us a 7 point clear of ulster or 4 points clear of Cardiff.

It's been a weird season. Really strong start, but since that collapse in the Stormers game, things have been pretty shaky / mixed at best.

We're doing somethings well but other things awfully; and often what that is seems to change from game to game. A win 2nite would be a huge result, and hoopefully set up us nicely for the run-in. Remaining fixtures as follows:

• Zebre (H)
• Sharks (A)
• Bulls (A)
• Benetton (A)
• Ulster (H)
• Connacht (A)
• Lions (H)

That Ulster game is looking like a big one. And the Sharks game is bound to be spicy….

Look at Glasgow's attaching play Vs ours… they look fantasticand we look lost

glasgows attack (missing so many players) is very impressive.

the Glasgow number 5 is a serious athlete.

He looks like a player that will have a successful pro career.

unfortunatley errors and inability to execute took away the opportunity for a win tonight, and with better execution we could have put ourselves in a position to win it.

We haven’t given butler the opportunities to develop at this level this season or last and when he got his opportunity last week and this week he hasn’t been able to take his chance to get past JJ. He didn’t seem to have the ability to put any of his mistakes behind him tonight, something that’s crucial at this level, instead of forgetting about a mistake he added to them.

He might find himself being 4th choice now.

Very costly missed touch by Wood, had a fine cameo otherwise.

Need to keep the young lads like him, Edogb-óg, O'Connell in the team for game time.
