The Munster Rugby Thread 24/25

[Jukka]

If we finish 8th, Ulster finish 9th, but Ulster win the Challenge Cup, I believe we’d then be out of Champions Cup next year.

Even with a losing BP, Cardiff are unlikely to pass us. If level, it goes to matches won and then to pts difference.
We'd both be on 10 wins so they would need to gain 38 pts on us. Very unlikely.

If 6 to 9 all lose then we stay in 6th and we prob go to Bulls for QF.

JOD was superb and I can see him, Crowley, Hodnett, Nanks and Gleeson lead the charge for us.

These lads will leave everything out there and I think they will inspire the others.

I forgot to include JOD in my XV. He'll start and I'd see Fineen drop to the bench.


There's too much at stake here. I expect a huge improvement

JOD has had a few great moments this year, but I think they've been more than outweighed by vast amounts of mediocrity.

Good point

This wasnt a story till the 3 lads resigned and 'someone' leaked the details to temu Woodward and Bernstein. whoever was behind it wanted to cause maximum damage to munster rugby. cowards not prepared to go on the record.

Wasn’t a story till (sic) 3 lads resigned and someone leaked the details????

Do you think the three lads who resigned when they’d heard of the appointment wouldn’t have let it be known?

Three former Munster stalwarts and Irish internationals didn’t think Randles with his history was the right move for Munster and many fans agreed with them. Shocking image to associate with MR and an unmitigated PR disaster as well.

The maximum damage was inflicted by the clowns who thought this would fly and could be shoved down the throat of anyone who objected.

Munster can ill afford to lose sponsors either!

Bearing in mind the furore that Paddy Jackson and the others were involved in, in a trial by social media, local knowledge should have prevented Randles appointment. The question is at what point did it come to light, and what was the reaction by Flanagan, Costello and McMillan ? Did they decide to plough on regardless before or after the PGC were informed ? Hopefully this inquiry will at least publicise the timeline so that it will be clear who knew what and when.

all they were worried about was they didnt have sign off on the attack coach. typical from the two con heads. if theyd had an issue with it they should have dealt with it through the proper channels and not indulged in the type of self serving dramatics designed to damage munster rugby.

the jobs for their mates culture at munster has been hugely damaging and should have been dismantled years ago.
