1st choice back line. When did we last see this ?

Good forwards too.

Should get 5 pts here provided we sort the line out

You can have an argument about Daly/Abrahams/Haley but yeah, damned near as strong as it gets.

Milne turning up is very well timed, as they're back to bringing in academy players with Foxe.
I suspect Kleyn on the bench is to add a bit of weight to help out that front row for the last 20-30 mins

Best backline all season, for sure. Can't understand where Gleeson is gone. When we're missing two or three first choice backrows, it's hard to see how he doesn't get a look in.

Many feel Quinn has leapfrogged Gleeson.

Quinn seems to have a bit more dog about him than Gleeson.

At the same time young players game time is tightly controlled (Coombes was an exception to that). And it's now he business end of the season and Munster need their first team players playing.

He's also probably adjusting his body to thr professional game too.

The answer is probably somewhere in the middle.

Yeah, perhaps, he's 21 so not quite that young. He's only had 244 mins of game time this season with Munster which isn't a huge amount and he's officially part of the senior squad, not the academy.

That said, he was on the Ireland A team against England, so he's clearly not doing badly.

To be honest, having seen Quinn in the covid games, when the squad was stranded in SA, I'm not surprised if that's the case, but I think Gleeson is a class athlete and should be getting the opportunity.

Lineout shit again...

 

[Meridian]

Lineout shit again...

You would swear the way they are going on about the forwards coach being away with the Ireland ladies, that these professional players have forgotten how to do a line out.
Just as I typed that Scannel fucks another up.

 

[Barry K O Bama]

Another crap Italian Ref

How did he miss the blatant push in the back on Nash.

Lead to their 1st try

Harsh calls against us in lineout
