The Munster Rugby Thread 24/25

[jeepers]

Yep, that's what all decent teams are going to do, he's a liability and a potential gap. Find where he is and attack there.

Incidentally, I think this game might have come a week too early for Munster to put out the strongest team, here's the injury list:
Oli Jager (HIA) – following return-to-play protocols.
Mike Haley (HIA) – following return-to-play protocols.
Calvin Nash (shoulder) – to be confirmed.
Tom Ahern (HIA) – following return-to-play protocols.
Craig Casey (hamstring) – estimated return to play in one to two weeks.
Niall Scannell (hand laceration) – will return to play in one week.
Alex Kendellen (ankle) – will return in four weeks.
Conor Bartley (hamstring) – will return in four weeks.

Should be basically at full strength for Connacht, which really is a must win match.

Maybe that's OK. Get back the likes of Casey, Ahern, Jager and bate into Connacht for 5 points. I think we are more likely to get a point against Leinster for 4 tries than a LBP.

Exactly. I'd give Munster less than a 10% chance, so might as well get something out of it with the young lads getting experience.

That's a very strong Leinster team:
Leinster: Jamie Osborne; Tommy O’Brien, Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw, James Lowe; Sam Prendergast, Jamison Gibson-Park; Paddy McCarthy, Rónan Kelleher, Tadhg Furlong; RG Snyman, James Ryan; Alex Soroka, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan.

Replacements: Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter, Thomas Clarkson, Brian Deeny, Max Deegan, Scott Penny, Fintan Gunne, Ciarán Frawley

Fairly harsh on Harry Byrne

Croke Park looking like it'll only be half full on Saturday

Tickets are pricey 45 quid for a stand or 90 for a premium seat.

As far as I remember they used to price it around 20 when they used croke park for Celtic league games before

I've only seen the fixture once, back in 2018. I think the ticket was only around €30

Fuck Leinster, why would anyone want to go to that shithole, to line those arrogant D4 pricks pockets ?

They've sold over 50k tickets, it won't be sold out but it'll be a pretty good attendance
