The Munster Rugby Thread 2019/20

[How bad boy]

There's been chat that Tom Farrell is heading south from Galway. Bernard Jackman all but confirmed it, it seems.

Great signing, needs a bit of luck injury wise.

Doesn't necessarily mean Frisch is gone but if a French buy out his year it might let Munster go NIQ shopping and push for a prop and tell the IRFU to go fuck themselves

Hmm, that's not great either from an Irish rugby point of view, Munster already taking Kilgallen from Connacht and Burns from Ulster, neither or which I suspect are particularly happy about Munster poaching players

For all the talk of weakness in the front row, missed that Keynan Knox got the boot in Feb and Chris Moore went gone on loan to the Ospreys 4 weeks ago, came off the bench for them against Sale in the Anglo-Welsh cup.

The way Jackman is going on, it seems Munster are playing hard ball and trying to get the best price for him.

Yes Tom Farrell is a good signing but as you said, he as well as the entire Munster team need a bit of luck injury wise.

Decent side, solid bench.

Great bench to bring on. Proper game-winners in there.

I'm not sure how that works though. No province can outbid the other. Its a case of matching what connacht are offering

Sorry I should have worded my post better.

Jackman mentioned recently that he feels Munster are playing hard ball in regard to Frisch and this France move that is / isn't happening soon.

Frisch still has another year on his contract, don't see a good reason why Munster would simply let him saunter off to play in France because his head has been turned. Would set a poor precedent.

Now if a french club wants to buy him out of his contract...

I've not seen transfer pricing yet, but it presumably could work...

Tough test this afternoon. Only the bottom 5 sides are out of the competition at this stage. If the Lions take 5 pts and deny us a pt, then they will be only 4 pts behind us. We have to go to Edinburgh and have Connaught & Ulster at home. No gimmes Lions will feel they can take us

Ah I see. Dead right too. Would be the 3rd time in the space of 12 months they'd have been caught by Farrell fucking around at National level.

17 points up at half time and the Lions down to 14 for the first 10 of the second half.

Fingers crossed they don't pull a Munster at around 50 mins...
