The Official Munster Rugby Threadâ„¢

Zebo has been a bit soft looking all season. His calf was wrapped heading into the game and he said to twinge it during a kick on the run late enough in the game but it was a good showing and he’d bee doing much more than just finishing off tries in the corner for a while now too.

Zebo's conditioning isn't close to the level it needs to be at. Given benefactor cash is needed for his wages, that's not good enough.

He could be freakish if he got himself in shape and have much bigger impacts on games. You'd love somebody to take him aside and give him a shake and ask if for just one season he's interested in seeing what heights he's capable of reaching.

He looked in peak condition at the Exeter game tbh.

You cant really judge from TV.

So will the Leinster B Team now beat Munster in the next URC game ? I cannot see them fielding their A's with their advance to the European Cup final and fair dues to them.
They showed how to play Toulouse today in Dumplin.

So this is what the South African media are thinking about the remainder of the URC ;

Munster Champions Cup exit spells trouble for SA URC hopes.

In an incredible display of rugby last weekend, Munster hosted Toulouse in the Champions Cup quarter final in a packed stadium. The game was class from start to finish and only served to lay down a further marker with regards to the quality of rugby up North. South Africans are dying to be...

La Rochelle into its second Heineken cup final in a row. Fair play to ROG, that's some CV he's building. Be delighted for him if they can take Leinster.

Didn't know that. Any idea who is paying up?

The "78 club" of benefactors (assume a mix of rich business people including maybe some former players). It was publicly acknowledged by Munster at the time of the signing, as per RJ and De Allande so nothing underhand about it.

Yeah, although they're distinctly mid table in the top 14. Wonder which competition the club has as a priority.

From reading his column, it's the Top 14, but I suspect he and at least some of the players rate the Heino almost as much.

Very poor start to the season and they have lost 11 games in the Top 14 and like last season if they had a consistent reliable kicking out half they could do better.

Leinsters to lose in Marseille and as long as they keep Furlong fit they should win this but teh South of France early summer will be hot.

Yeah Leinster got the rules changed to allow it. Rory McIlroy was bankrolling the SAFFA nordies for years. I hadn't heard of Munster at it though but sure it makes sense that they are
