Munster v Leinster Build Up Thread

I know I pretend to like Munster and generally support them but actually I don't. I know Connaugcht is likely going to be the club the IRFU cancels but I hope it's Munster.

How many false dawns have there been now? Seems every second year Munster fans get excited without looking at the big picture and think the glory days are back. Munster are the Scotland of club rugby.

The reality is the pro14 is guff. Leinster had to lose half their seconds to finally lose a game. Scotland have lost most of their talent and Wales don't have any talent anymore. It's not a competitive league.

The win against Clermont said more about Clermont than it did about Munster. Clermont when they were bothered turned Munster over with ease, their lack of fitness or interest shone through late on and all of a Sudden Red is the New All Black.

I don't think Munster have the team to compete. Going down through the starters:

• Kilcoyne - might maybe over take an ancient Healy by 2025 after Healy has been retired for two seasons.
  
• Hooker and tighthead ok but not great - 3.6 roentgen territory.
  
• Locks - when Snyman comes back we'll have something to talk about, until then Munster should have tried harder for Roux and given Dillane a proper look (both likely to be available pretty imminently).
  
• Backrow - two internationals but always struggle against Leinster 2nds and 3rds
  
• Murray - good enough to make the Leinster bench
  
• Ben Healy - for absolutely no reason I've yet to see at all, is apparently Dan Carters spirit animal
  
• DeAllende was told the TV cameras in Ireland were ancient and that's why the videos of Munster he was being shown looked pre 2009. Videos were actually pre 2009 Munster which is why he decided to join, is still waiting to meet Hayes.
  
• Back 3? Backwards 3 more like. Not a hoop Toulouse are sniffing around any of these lads, wouldn't even make the Leinster back line for second half of Leinster v Connaufgcht a few weeks back.

So yeah, I reckon a Munster win. Leinster players will already know they're in the Ireland squad and Munster will have a lot more to play for. Leinster lads will be minding themselves.

IBF will be drinking shots out of Jessica Alba's bellybutton at half time only for Munster to stage a come back against another completely disinterested team.

don't rely on a vpn to use this. I did for about 2 years and it worked great until it stopped right before last years Six Nations and not long after they were bought by Sky NZ

Class. Looking forward to this
