The Munster Rugby Thread 24/25

[douglas eegit]

PFP has been pretty poor. Fast but ball to nowhere!

 

[How bad boy]

Way this is going, would be disappointed to put less than 40 points on them

Would blame the 6-2 split for not getting it, the backline was a mess after the injuries.

JOD on one wing, Paddy Patterson on the other.

And that's why I strongly dislike 6-2 split

Completely unnecessary against the Dragons too. Lydiate was held together by tape and plasters, it was never going to be a forward battle

On top of that, neither of the two backs is a utility player. One specialist 9 and one specialist 10.

Hopefully that's the end of it for now, would have been properly punished by decent opposition.

Next up is Scarlets and Edinburgh at home, would expect at least 8 points from them

Daly has a second concussion in a few weeks, that's concerning

Yep. With Kilgallen back perhaps he can be rested for a good six week block, or more. Especially as there's every chance Nash will be released back to Munster for the middle URC game.

Welsh rugby really is a pity.

Nucifora is Farrells assistant on the Lions tour.

That second half yesterday was so typical, Munster went in at half time and felt the task was complete.
They should have kept up the pressure in the 2nd half, that is how the better teams do it.

It's the one time you'd forgive it, they were playing with one hand behind their back due to injuries.

You'd question the coaching decision to go for a 6-2 split.
