The Munster Rugby Thread 24/25

Coldest game I was at in a long time. Nothampton town centre is a bit of a kip. Lads at work say some of the villages in the outskirts are lovely though. Met some very friendly Northampton fans and to be fair they deserved the win. Frankins Gardens is a fine spot and the set up there with bars/food etc was very good.

Rugby wise Munster have a lot of work to do to get back to challenging in knock out games in Europe. Cant see anything but a sound beating in La Rochelle.

Good to see Crowley doing the buisness yesterday. Has to start against England. Nash didnt do his chances any harm either and Beirne as always was good. Cant see POM starting the six nations on that form although Murray may get a few more caps from the bench.

Some decent young players in the pack like Quinn, Edogbo, Ahern, Kendellen, Gleeson but without a front row they will struggle. Not sure how that problem gets fixed int he next two seasons without bringing a few if Leinster's young guns down.
Yeah it was bitter, though that was the most amount of alcohol I've drunk for a long time, over two days. We drank in the St James WMC next to the ground before and after the game, and the prices were way better than in the centre.

It's a nicer town than Leicester or Gloucester but it could do with a bit of a rejuvenation. The Guild Hall is a lovely building and some of the buildings around there are nice too. What was odd to me was the lack of people out shopping.

We should be stuffed in La Rochelle but ROG being there might significantly up the ante for the players to put one over on him, and if we can get as many of Loughman, Kleyn, Hodnett (badly missed on Saturday), Nankivell and Casey back, then that will improve the team.

We do need to get Gleeson involved a lot sooner, he's definitely going to be there years. Kendellen is a good player but Hodnett is outstanding.
 
There's a bit of chat over here with the locals that Healy could be moving home, away from his current hame.

Yer man Kelly at Leicester is linked too. He rejected a move a few seasons ago to get some england caps and ended with 1. He's a handy enough player but there should be no double dipping!

If they want to accept that just go get AJ Macginty instead of Burns for next season

I think Munster would take Healy back but would he be categorised as an NIQ? Would have thought so, for the next 4.5 years
