    Perfect, that makes sense. I've always wondered what the story was with that when I'd arrive early. Always thought I could end up in someones seat.

    I can't see Munster winning with Earls out now as well.

    Munster have struggled with attacking edge as it is, now they're missing their two most creative players (Earls and Carbery).

    Munster to defend like mad man and keep it a close game but ultimately I think I'll be a 27-9 kind of game.

    Carbery and Earls our two best attacking threats out, let’s hope the pack can get on top to give us a chance.

    Earls and Kleyn out would be a massive blow... Sweets, Conway and Haley as our back 3 is just not strong enough in defence I think... living in hope more than confidence now

    To the brave and the faithful...

    Every man in red tomorrow will put his body on the line with every fibre of their being. I'm hopeful rather than confident but something tells me tomorrow will be special.

    Earls is in the form of his career. The reason Munster are in the semi's this year. Would be a colossal loss.

    People really need to leave this stuff in the past imo. It's nothing to do with pashun any more.

    Munster v Glasgow after Axel died, down to 14 men after Earls was sent off.

    Passion isn't everything but it's a very important something.

    You're putting way too much emphasis on it. Munster sell/promote themselves using brave and faithful but team dont as they cant.

    I suppose the limit is how many games are left. I missed the first two games in TP the season before last (the one time there were two TP Pro14 games in a week I was away!) and was able to transfer both tickets to two other games.

    and just gave that extra ticket to the later game to a mate or whatever? that's quite handy, because if you didn't want to go to the 'weaker' games you could get an extra ticket to a 'better' game instead, nearly a 2-for-1 deal

    Massive loss, but don't write off Conway, he's the reason we got as far as we got last time.

    Agreed... but Sweets can be a bit of a turnstile in defence against top notch sides...and we're facing the best in Europe tomorrow...it's going to be a ferocious battle

    So next season we'll see a Leicester midfield of Reid and Taute.

    I had thought Beirne was a shoe in for POTY. He was a deserved MOTM in both Exeter games and the Leinster match at Christmas. Picked up at least one or two other MOTM awards on top of that. Ospreys a while back jumps out.

    I'd have thought Stander and Carbery were ahead of POM too...or Kleyn who has been excellent throughout. Earls was Earls and always very good when playing. POM was good but definitely not the person who jumps out as the best player over the season.

    Goggin is a good shout for young player. Would have been good to see him get more games but injuries curtailed that. Wycherley is probably the other name that jumps out but will need more involvement on the big days to get awards.
