Yeah, personally, I got offered a small amount of money to play when in college, but the chances of making it are low and would have put getting a good degree at risk, so decided not to take it and play social rugby.

Horseshit. They're not even the 3rd best run team in Ireland.Munster Rugby are extremely well run and routinely punch above their weight in terms of the money behind French club rugby.
Amazing that you have fellas pontificating about this kind of stuff immediately after a loss
Do you mind if I ask where you've heard that from?
I know guys of 18 who have been offered contracts and turned them down as they just didnt view it as realistic that theyd make the break through. These would be fellas who have represented Ireland at underage grade.
Theres never been any 'pressure' to do a course in UL that I've heard of.
And now it is a disaster and Munster don't have a better chance against the Bulls as they've sent a second string team for the quarter final against Northampton.The travel problem for the current Champions Cup is already pretty damned close to a disaster:
Bulls eight-flight nightmare schedule for Champions Cup quarterfinal | SuperSport
The Vodacom Bulls may be the only surviving South African franchise in the Investec Champions’ Cup, but they face a nightmare travel scenario to even get to their quarterfinal match-up with leading English side Northampton.supersport.com
"the Bulls head to England in no less than eight different flights, as the squad split up amid the lack of seats for the trip.
The nightmare scenario sees some players fly overnight on British Airways, while others will go via Frankfurt, Paris, Doha, Dubai, Amsterdam, Zurich and even Birmingham to get to their training base in Northampton.
And the terrible travelling schedule has played havoc with their preparations, as the team tried their best to finalise their game plan before heading their separate ways on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The travel chaos had a further knock on effect as the team will need to travel on eight different airlines back to South Africa, arriving late Monday in different spurts for their next Vodacom United Rugby Championship game against defending champions Munster.
The net effect is that the team can only train on Thursday in England and lose Monday as a training day on their way back."
...
“Two weeks ago we went to Leinster and it took us 28 hours to get to Dublin and 27 hours to get back. "
I guess Munster have a better chance against the Bulls now...
The World Club Cup thing should die as an idea though, I just don't see how it works logistically, environmentally, financially and physically.
Remember all the slaps on the back Kearney got when he openly questioned the Munster players desire to play for Ireland.
I know more than you anyway, ya maggot.
World rugby would want to be intervening here. They're making a mockery of fair competitionCouldn't believe my eyes when I read this over on RTE.
Fuck the fuck off like ffs, this is taking the piss on a whole new level.
Fuck the IRFU
