The Official Munster Rugby Thread™

[How bad boy]

Jesus, sometimes i forget but an article on John Hodnett's injury and possible unavailability this weekend reminded me just how strong Munster are from 4-8 in the scrum with everyone available.

You've got:
Snyman
Kleyn
Beirne
Ahern
Jenkins
Wycherley
O'Donoghue
Coombes
Hodnett
O'Mahony
Cloete
O'Sullivan
Kendellen

If you were to pick from that list, it'd be really hard to separate reputation from current form. Think I'd go:

Snyman
Beirne
O'Mahony
Hodnett
Coombes

But that leaves out a lot of players who are absolutely flying right now. And from the looks of it, only POM is probably going to be playing this weekend.

And yet, even the second choice 4-8 is pretty damned good, maybe:
Kleyn
Ahern
Kendellen
Cloete
O'Donoghue

Think casey still needs to add some control and improve his decision making to his game if he wants to be a regular starter.

Id start him now for the rest of the season but cant see VG benching Murray

Dupont ran the show for Toulouse v La Rochelle last Saturday night and he is almost impossible to tackle.

La Rochelle only got into their 22 once and their half only 2 or 3 times during the entire 2nd half.

It’s a catch 22, needs game time for experience, can’t get experience without the game time!

French media reporting that Prendergast is a done deal. According to the Examiner anyway.

Not sure that's a catch 22.

Just start him and he will get both game time and experience!

Here is the latest ;

The only hope we have in Dumplin today is to tire out the big lads from Toulouse

I have to agree with this guy :

Munster v Toulouse: David Corkery on European redemption for the Reds

A huge Munster crowd will travel to the Aviva on Saturday with a place in the Heineken European Cup semi-final up for grabs

Ok 14 all at HT.

Munster would.want probably 10 on them before the Toulouse bench starts coming on in the 2nd half
