    That looks brilliant.

    The lads had a ball it seems. Love the Gaeilge from the Hostel owner at the end. Real thick Kerry Gaeilge.

    Great Gaeilge from Ian Nagle as well. He's obviously been watching too many games on TG4, instead of being on the field for them!

    Some fantastic PR generated from the Munster Race. Fair play to Simon Mannix for supposedly coming up with the idea.

    They get married young in SA, was there on my honeymoon earlier this year met several SA couples on their honeymoons all 23/24/25, made us feel old as feck.
    Was talking to Bulls fans in Johannesburg about Stander, his name is muck in SA for coming here as a 'project player'. They were all quite sure he'd have been capped for the boks if he stayed.

    Two matches in a row not televised is a sickener.

    I think the main Leinster gripe was that all our games up to Christmas were televised & theirs weren't.
    I remember quite a lot if Marie Terese in her red beanie & Fla trying out his cúpla focal on TG4 quite a lot

    They'll probably be available online just as Leinster's in Italy were last season.

    People will gripe about not getting the live games (God knows enough Leinster fans did last season when we had a whole two not televised in a season) but we're still ridiculously spoiled for live games compared to the likes of England and France.

    We really can't complain about not having matches on TV, just look at our poor neighbours to the north, they've only 2 home games on TV.

    Televising the Italian games seems to be an issue and I'd guess Munster looked for and got the two games in a row so they could set up a training camp while there, iirc, they seemed to try that last season but one game was postponed.

    I considered trying to head over to Treviso for week and catch both games but at the moment that's not a runner.

    I'm happy with the schedule so far, a few games have 6 day turnarounds should still be manageable.

    The only Friday night home game is the Connacht game over Christmas. Every other home game is on a Saturday evening. I don't care when the away games are on cause I don't go to them. Thats the best set of times we've had in years.

    I know last season Leinster's games in Italy weren't televised. TG4 (badly) streamed one of them with no sound.

    I think he mean't Connacht. Their only home matches televised are against Ulster and Leinster.

    Squad Update from Munster Rugby
    The squad are in to week six of their pre-season programme with the countdown on for the first game of the season on August 24th in Thomond Park against Gloucester Rugby.

    The forwards gathered in Limerick on the bank holiday Monday for their session while the backs were in Cork and their numbers were boosted by the returning Lions Conor Murray and Simon Zebo. The remaining Lion Paul O'Connell is on honeymoon and is due back at a later date.

    The players trained in their respective centres today with a number of players in line to attend the Munster Rugby Talent Camp in Rockwell tomorrow afternoon.

    Peter O'Mahony met with press in his first official capacity as Munster Captain and spoke of his eagerness to get stuck in from the off for next season, and highlighted the positive attitude amongst the squad.

    On the injury front Stephen Archer (wrist) has made a return to full training while Keith Earls is taking part in limited rugby action. Felix Jones (shoulder) and Luke O'Dea continue to rehab their respective injuries with O'Dea continuing to wear the wrist splint.

    Didn't realise LOD was out injured, he really needs to be available for the early round of games if he wants to make his mark, whenever he got a chance last year he seemed to shine.

    He's had the splint on since before the summer so it must be serious enough. Hopefully he'll be back in full training soon, I'd really like to see him get a chance to see how he fares this year.

    SEAT announced a 3 year deal that will see SEAT become the official car partner to Munster Rugby and title sponsor of the Munster Schools Senior and Junior Cups.
    Pre-season games now known as 'SEAT Series' under the sponsorship.

    Shame Munster Youths 17s&19s cups not being sponsored by SEAT as well like was the case with Avonmore
