The Munster Rugby Thread 2019/20

Interesting. I suppose if I was in his shoes, would do the same. Rugby careers are short and his is going backwards at Munster.
Munster would need to sign another outhalf (or two...) if he does leave. Would expect Tony Butler to be in the squad if that's the case. Also, Carbery is under contract until summer next year

Supposed to have had a blazing row with Rowntree I guess over being effectively 3rd choice.

Trying elsewhere very understandable and I think his career at Leinster may just have overlapped with Lancaster but an outhalf, in France, with his injury record? Pity it didn't work out at Munster but it seemed he was always one great game, two very mediocre, and two more out with injury, rinse and repeat.

Ah yes, he's been out so long it might be difficult for him to come back as a back 3 player. That long out with that level of injury in your 30s can permanently damage speed.

Anyway, was thinking about the team, would go for:
Loughman
Barron
Archer
Snyman
Kleyn
Beirne
O'Mahony
Coombes

Murray
Crowley
Daly
Fekitoa
Frisch
Nash
Haley


Casey
Healy
Earls
Kilcoyne
Scannell
Salanoa
O'Donoghue
Hodnett


That second row/back row selection is incredibly difficult, gone for bulk. Would be hard to leave Kendellan & Wycherley out.

Wycherly would have to be included due to size and recent form and Peter O' Mahony can cover the wing again

His poor form has made him a "3rd choice" as well as being highly injury prone and he will be left nowhere near the Irish national squad.

Ehm, thanks for that Captain Obvious.

 

[Lee Bushwacker]

Is Zebo injured?

Any answer?

Quite amazing that he's only 27. If true, it's the right decision for all concerned, makes sense for Racing too.

 

[Barry K O Bama]

Any answer?

Not injured.
No chance of making the bench so not travelling

Only possible starter injured is Conway

 

[How bad boy]

Talk of 5,000 travelling fans.

Time to get that bandwagon out of storage

When would you have to set off to get a bathtub to sifrika?

Problem with a 6:2 split is Healy and Casey are specialists and of almost no use outside of 9 & 10. If you have 2 injuries in the outside backs, you're completely fucked.

A bit harsh on Casey, I reckon he would also provide good cover at prop.
