Red one is a beaut.

Wish Ulster had the opposite of that kit (white with red collar).

darragh_haven · 06-07-2015 10:05pm

It looks I'll have to shed a good few pounds to try an do justice to them jerseys. The equivalent of a small child will have to go.....

Bassfish · 06-07-2015 10:11pm

Wonder what colour the shorts will be?

The black one comes with navy shorts and brown socks.

No idea about the away kit, but Zebo looked to be wearing white shorts on the promo pic of the home kit released today.

razorblunt · 07-07-2015 10:29am

I see Pat Howard has been signed by Northampton, shame about that, I know he was on a short term contract but I thought the did very well in the center, was noticable step above anyone else.

Regarding the jerseys, tough choice on those, the red on the home looks well, but there's something about the black one too, it's Batman-esque and I love it!

LostArt · 07-07-2015 10:34am

There's not enough Boi logo's on that kit for my liking.

.ak · 07-07-2015 10:50am

I think I actually prefer the red one. I'm a sucker for simple jerseys.

The faint writing on the jersey looks familiar...

:rolleyes:It was clearly a joke...
And I see nothing wrong with BOI sponsoring us.

Now that work has started on UL and new centre... when is it due to be finished? Is it next summer or sometime before the end of the season?

Originally it was this summer, but they changed the plans to make it bigger so the had to reapply for permission. Then it was to be finished by January, but the last I heard it will be closer to the end of the season so the team won't be training together until next season.

Does this mean the split Limerick/Cork training sessions will be a thing of the past? If so, long overdue IMO.

Yeah. Once the new training center is open all training will be done in UL.

€12 early bird tickets to see Munster vs Grenoble in pre-season. Sadly a Friday night k/o rules me out.

I don't think they should be charging more than €10 for what is basically a training game where they'll probably use 30-40 players.

€12 for a stand ticket is very reasonable.

€12 is very good price and I don't see many ways you could drop the price further.

While after the game, all spectators are welcome to join the Munster players at a post-match BBQ in the Fan Zone Plaza

The post match BBQ is a great idea for the younger fans to meet the players. All we need now is a but of sun on the evening.

ouncer · 08-07-2015 9:18pm

While I do like batman begins all other batman films were crap. Hope batman outfit in galway doesn't backfire next season ( or if I'm honest I hope it does) :-)

You won't have to worry about it. It'll only be worn away to Scarlets and possibly Stade Francais. Munster as always will be wearing red in Galway

hendo12 · 09-07-2015 7:58am

Munster will be wearing red in Paris

I am very jealous of your swag this year. If I was a munster fan I'd be buying the ALW top, the anthem top, performance tee, and the jerseys are both great.

Addidas doing some really nice stuff this year. All their international tops are lovely too this year.

thomond2006 · 09-07-2015 8:35am

Last year the MRSC gave out a 20% voucher for Lifestyle Sports. If they do I'll be getting the black jersey.

razorblunt · 09-07-2015 8:41am

Come on as much as I like the Anthem jacket, how many anthems could you wear it for ;-)

Munster vs Connacht preseason is rounding off the first day of the Limerick World Sevens. Very clever and hopefully that will help attendances.

It's also €10 for MRSC members for Munster vs Grenoble.

The Lost Sheep · 09-07-2015 1:48pm

Is GVDH expected to be fit for the start of the season?

Nice to see Paddy Ryan getting a shot with Newcastle on a 2 yr deal

thomond2006 · 11-07-2015 4:15pm

Saili potentially arriving sooner than November is awesome news. Bleyendaal, GVDH and Stander all had write off first seasons after arriving in November.

slingerz · 12-07-2015 1:58pm

Saili will be here in mid August I believe

That's great. The November arrivals don't work out to we'll most of the time. Most give seem to lose their first year over it.

Is it possible to pick up the black training jersey anywhere in limerick. The Munster store is shut down at the moment.

The Munster store is closed for good. Lifestyle is the official retailer now.
