New Munster chat thread folks. warning deserved there. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=109477571#post109477571
Correction - the ref is Sam Grove-White
With munster, or Whitehouse ;)
Its far longer than 10 years that admin has been an issue.
In the main I have little issue with McMillan - he is charged with results and turning the club around, he is bringing someone in he knows and trusts and believes can achieve that.
But Flanagan, he needs to walk or be pushed. He failed to follow due process and has been found lacking throughout the Rowntree period among others. A change there is now 100% needed.
Is it for the IRFU to sack Flanagan? Whats the hierarchy there. Usually a CEO would be at the behest of a board
The team for Saturday is in. Jager and Ala'alatoa swapping bench and starting roles is the only change to last weeks 23.
100th cap for Nash.
Munster Rugby: Shane Daly; Calvin Nash, Tom Farrell, Alex Nankivell, Andrew Smith; Jack Crowley, Craig Casey; Jeremy Loughman, Diarmuid Barron, Oli Jager; Jean Kleyn, Tadhg Beirne (C); Tom Ahern, John Hodnett, Gavin Coombes.
Replacements: Lee Barron, Michael Milne, Michael Ala’alatoa, Edwin Edogbo, Brian Gleeson, Ben O’Donovan, Dan Kelly, Alex Kendellen.
Good team.
2 things that again come to mind, no replacement for Jack and Dalys name on the team sheet, puts the fear of Hades in me.
6-2 again, we're really hoping that Crowley can stay on for the 80 mins.
it's nuts. JJ and Butler not trusted, and now we are facing the most important 6 games of the year.
If he wants to be competing for the Irish jersey he needs to be an 80 minute player. At the same time we really should have more than one outhalf in our 23 to cover for injuries and to bleed in a new player
Whooooooooooooosh
Daly played very well last week in fairness.
And we have gone with no replacement for Jack for the last number of games due to 1. lack of a quality back up 2. his durability and 3. the bench 6.2 spilt and associated impact. Its a risk, but one that is worth taking tbf. Has BOD ever played OH does anyone know?
i think Casey is the 10 backup.
still going into the last 3 league games, the quarters, the semis and the final, with no recognised 10 backup, is mystifying.
Hardly mystifying, Butler just needed a break and JJ is injured.
yes, its the accused we should be feeling bad for in this case………
exactly… accused…
you really don't Law much, do you.
i think you'll find, neither are good enough.
If it wasn't for Lancaster, Frawley could have been here next year..
oh **** right off with your smug bullshit of 'you really dont law much, do you'. I'm well aware that this is something that he has not been found guilty of and it is an accusation
im also well aware that cases like this rarely end up in convictions due to a number of reasons but its rarely because the accused is actually innocent
Reading the history of the case it seems like the alleged victim probably didn't go ahead with the case because the probability of securing an conviction was very low. Doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't assaulted, but seeing as the case was never tested in court the only people who know the truth are those involved. And Randle must be afforded the presumption of innocence.
However, is controversy that Munster rugby could have done without involving itself in. We've enough on field issues with taking on off field issues.
True, that number of 10 could be doubled....
Your posts regarding the RR signing really paint you in a bad light. I hope for your sake you dont air these views in real life outside internet forums.
Daly's had a good season I think
zero point engaging with people like you.
enjoy your life.
Good infograph from URC official, for the last 3 games.
top 4 is doable, but difficult.
Leinster sem to have the handiest last 3 games..
Glasgow are away to Stormers and Ulster.
Lions are away to Leinster and Munster
Its really such a tight table. Ulster have a hard run in as do Cardiff, after the ospreys game. You'd expect the Bulls to possibly sweep their last 3 games. We have to win our two home games.
(Player appearances in brackets)
Replacements:
Thats a very inexperienced Ulster team - given their injury profile and upcoming Challenge Cup game its to be expected. Munster need 5 points from this opportunity.
We should be looking at 5 points here, which should go a long way towards securing top 8, and with the Lions and Connacht playing each other, we can then maybe start thinking about looking up the table instead of down.
100% we should be aiming for 5 points from this game.
looking at the 2 teams (no offence Ulster) and at home in Thomond..
