The Munster Rugby Thread 2019/20

[Lee Bushwacker]

Greg Barrett is a gent and even though a Conman is deservedly President of the IRFU.

Very true.
His younger brother was badly injured playing for UCC against UCD in the early 1980s. I was at the game. Dr Mick Molloy saved his life on the pitch.
Think he was confined to a wheelchair for life. Not sure if he subsequently passed away. If so, RIP.

Feb 1981 it was as the following week I was in Cardiff Arms Park to see Ireland unluckily lose 9-8 to Wales
Sadly he passed away. Rest In Peace.

Hearing rumours that Jean Kleyn's eye injury may be serious enough to end his career. Anyone else hear this? That would be really sad for him, and of course would royally fuck things up for Munster.

First of all that's awful news for him.

Secondly... for fuck sake! Another potential kick in the teeth for him. The Munster forwards are a shell of themselves when he's not around.

Another random injury that you can't really account for too.

I reckon this team would have beaten Northampton, especially without the illness. Very close to full strength.

It's very serious alright

That's tough if true, though there's that Dublin guy who went on to play for Italy with sight in just one eye. Hope he recovers anyway.

Now that's a disaster for him.

If that is the case, then if the IRFU have any interest they should stop RG's move to the ladyboys.
The reasoning for that transfer is out the window if Jean Kelyn has to quit.

Is that the first start of RG and Beirne together ?
