well, we'll see if he agrees if he is in the stands watching some southern hemisphere emergency loan play for Munster in the HC Final!

eh stringer agreed to go out on loan (chances are he was the instigator of the move) so he knew what the repercussions were when signing for saracens.

Stringer has no choice now, he played with a team in the H/C so he's tied there for the season. He could return and play PRO12 for us.

I can't see where the H/C could allow players move around clubs as temp replacements and play for different teams in the same competition - if you think bloodgate was bad try managing temporary replacements for injuries in the same competition/season :eek:

IRFU update:
POC out for 3-6 weeks with knee ligament damage

When did that happen? He walked off at the end of the game looking grand.

5 weeks would see POC fit for Ulster so hopefully the 6 weeks is just precaution

Warper · 05-03-2012 04:59PM

Heard POC is out for the season

Jaysus never thought of that.

Muller/Tuohy are a lot better than Ryan/MOD

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhh!! :eek::(:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Looks like a big race against time for Murray and Paulie, 5 weeks to recover.

I'd be at lot less confident without either of those 2. Hopefully Wally will come back into the mix. If he doesn't make it back (and Leamy and Ronan are out), we'd probably have to play Micko and O'Callaghan in the second row, with a back row of POM, Ryan and Coughlan.

Fingers crossed lads.

Well the injuries continue to hit us hard, it will be some achievement to get to a final this season not to mind silverware. Any hopes of sending McGahan off with a success seems low at the moment.

Circle the wagons.

Cpt_Blackbeard · 05-03-2012 06:26PM

I seriously hate Ireland and the Lions. All they do is break our best players. :mad:

Disaster for Munster...

Great news on the other hand on Murray. It would have been horrible to see such a talented youngster get a serious injury.

DDC1990 · 05-03-2012 06:46PM

To be honest it could have been a lot worse.

While Paulie has been tremendous, and inspirational as a leader, If it was ROG, we'd be fúcked!

We have Micko, DOC, Nagle, Dave Foley to come in and all are impressive.

If it was ROG, i'd be doubtful that Keatley could help us to victory over Ulster.

/trys so hard to look on the bright side

We do have more options but POC makes the whole team tick

If he's missing for the Ulster game, we're completely fcuked. Runs our lineout, manages the pack and just brings an overall intensity, passion and aggression to the team that is often absent when he's not on the pitch.

DDC1990 · 05-03-2012 06:51PM

Totally agree, but we have experienced guys in the pack who could at least pick up some of the slack.

True but I'm just going to hope and pray he makes it back.

Might sacrifice a goat tomorrow...

The Bull is Sacrificing a whole herd as we speak in Bruff :P

irishbucsfan · 05-03-2012 07:09PM

To be honest I think it'd be hard for anyone to gain superiority up front again Munster in Thomond Park BUT without POC I think Ulster would be comfortably better in every unit on the field apart from at half back (and even then... if it's Pienaar at 10 he'll be looking for a shot at ROG).

It will be a hell of a match. Can't wait for it. I still think the Thomond crowd will carry Munster to the final.

Judgement Day · 05-03-2012 07:12PM

Somebody must have a Voodoo doll out for Munster and you have to wonder whether we will ever break out of the cycle of key players being injured?

Munster fans won't let it go without a fight, but I think you're right.

It's the ERC's decision.

Ha, indeed. I don't doubt that they might be able to get the IRFU to listen, but the ERC ain't gonna care.

Wait a minute are Munster even allowed play it in Thomond?

I didn't think so... doesn't it have to be a certain number of miles away from your home stadium?

Nope. A minor detail!

It cannot be their home ground but it has to be a ground that can hold over 20k in Ireland. It's Lansdowne by default.

Nah, just another stadium. Leinster played in Lansdowne which is literally about 800m away from the RDS.
