Munster V Leinster

[Brad]

Anyone know if i can catch this on cable tv in Vietnam? I have ESPN but i presume they wouldn't show a Magners League game??

Secondly would they show Heineken Cup games on ESPN in Vietnam? Will still be here a week later for the Ospreys game.

I tell ya lads - this has to have being the worst fucking year rugby wise for me to head off and leave the country! It could turn out to be the greatest year ever rugby wise.

Also if anyone could give me an update regarding the teams, atmosphere, build up surrounding the game i'd appreciate it? Don't have time over here to be checking everything. Not too sure i'd be happy to win because the old revenge factor may come into play if we meet in the semi of the HC.

Cheers.

I doubt you'll get the game on saturday Brad. Or the HEC game next weekend.

I couldn't watch them in Australia even when I was there.

As for the game this weekend, both teams coming off the backs of good wins at the weekend, and Leinster will go top if the can win. Hard to know what kind of teams they'll put out with the Heineken quarter final the week after. Think Luke Fitzgerald is out for Leinster, but other than that I don't think there's any major injury worries on either side.

Won't be at the game myself, have stuff on in Dublin so can't make it down. Should be good though, both teams looking to get a good performance in before the big games next week.

Fucks sake Brad, have you nothing better to be doing in Vietnam than watching Munstershire.
Put on your Cork jersey and go shoot some cows with an AK-47.
You could follow that up with some crawling around in a Viet Cong tunnel.
Live a little.

[ho chi feen]

Not a chance.

Forget about it, go and enjoy your holiday!

There won't be much wrong with the quality.

Ah christ Eoin you must be joking!! I knew the Magners League would not be on but i presumed the HEC game would be on ESPN. This shit is breaking my heart - i love Vietnam but i can't be missing any more games.

If Munster do the double and considering Ireland won the GS im actually going to top myself (no doubt a few in here will be delighted!!).

Eoin are you saying for definite you could not catch HEC games in Australia??? I'll be there for the HEC semi final and hopefully Munster and or Leinster will be there. I caught all the HEC games in South Africa - i know tis a different country obviously enough but tis still a big rugby country like...

you might get them on cable or somethig down there Brad. go on to the munsterfans forum and you might get some help on somewhere to watch it in Oz.

Actually, now that I think of it, my brother might have watched the games last season down there. Pretty sure I remember him saying he watched the final somewhere in Brisbane.

I'll ask him next time I'm talking to him!

HEC QF/SF and Final were all on either ESPN or setanta the last 3 years when i was there...

Yeah, I was there for the group stages last season, but was travelling so wasn't looking to see them anyway.

[Brad]

Cheers lads.

Im trying to enjoy my time away, but it would help me sleep better if i knew i was going to see my matches!

Interesting, they usually have a choir singing or something.

[Coogee]

leinster probably on top so far...3-0 to munstershire though

[Liathroidi Mor]

9 nil up after 54 mins

[Liathroidi Mor]

12 nil now!! ROG drop goal

[Liathroidi Mor]

Contepomi having a mare!!

[Castlehaven Erbel]

17 - 0 Munster.

Leinster pityful.

Contepomi heh heh heh............

[Coogee]

17-0...great try from earls..nice offload from ronan and great finish...

[Liathroidi Mor]

Yip............good day for the reds with pool topping premiership too!!

[Castlehaven Erbel]

Focus now on next weekend for both teams in the HEC.

Munster have this well controlled.

[Liathroidi Mor]

try for the west brits!! Darcy........17-5 to munster

[cit_gym_rat]

good win for munster, sexton should be cited,

i felt leinsters try was crossing

[liam2me]

didn't see exactly what sexton did, deffo obstruction in the leinster try, ref/officials had a nightmare

[cit_gym_rat]

after mafis dangerous tackle sexton caught mafi with a boot to the face

[liam2me]

you obviously thought it was deliberate then. wasn't sure how dangerous mafi's tackle was. Quinny was my MOM, if he was younger he would be starting ahead of ferris for ireland (and that's not to take anything away from ferris)

[cit_gym_rat]

mafis tackle was careless if not deliberate but the reaction by the two lenister lads was a disgrace

[Coogee]

in fairness on the replay it looks like mafi gets caught by whitikers studs...complete accident...i think sexton lashed out a bit aswell and thats what mafi took offence to...

[VzN]

Great result.

[tim the trip]

outstanding.

feels like slamgate all over again.

Ya you can see Whitaker look behind after he caught him so dont think he meant it, Sexton got his ass handed to him.

[cantankerous bastard]

Ref was appaling, Leinster blocked 2 try opportunities in the first half illegaly and the try they did score I think it was either kearney or sexton blocked earls to make the hole.

Was a good performance from munster though, I think Leinster will be up against it next week against quins, need a big improvement on that showing to have a chance.

[cit_gym_rat]

sexton cited

[liam2me]

where you get that from?

[truckinhell]

sexton cited

He should be, it was definitely deliberate, definite crossing for leinster try, ref was appalling! Great result, The double is definitely on!!:D:D:D

[ho chi feen]

sexton cited

I was not!

[the puerto rican feen]

the other sexton cited

i think this angle leaves no douth in my mind that sexton kicked mafi

0.04 is the initial kick out and then at 0.05 as mafi is getting up there is a second kick out at hiim

hmmm, enough for a panel to decide on? i'm not sure. did he do it? looks likely

[raZor]

Munster announced the leaving/retirement/releasing of players!

Pucciarello, Sheahan, Horgan, O'Sullivan, Carney, Melbourne and Tipoki are what I remember off the top of my head.

[cit_gym_rat]

two week suspension for sexton
