What happened Munster?

[Jinky]

They seem to be a spent force. Was it the housing collapse? They had a lot of casual fans for a while but you don't hear about them as much anymore. I'm obviously just a casual observer.

I don't pretend to know what's going on there but was it a single event or a serious of events that have led to the current situation? There doesn't seem to have been any foresight on their part with the best players not being phased out.

That's the bandwagon for you jinks. Bad mistake by Murray only cost them yesterday.

I too thought munster would dominate forever and ever.

C'est la vie.

Poor coaching appointment after Kidney, not enough good players coming through and too much spent on awful foreign replacements(Tuitupou for example)

Much happier with the current setup, but itll take time before they're challenging for the HEC again.

lets not forget the SFI in all of this. Once we trained our guns on them it was only ever a matter of time.

The wheels fell off the bandwagon, no harm in that.

Considering their budget, they are still performing very well when you compare them to most of the English teams and half the French.

It was an interesting marketing exercise while it lasted, but ultimately no one has any loyalty towards a province. Well, not a losing province anyway.

Are attendances and demand for tickets starting to drop off?

Pretty easy to get home Tickets for the European Cup nowadays, where as there was no chance up to 2 years ago.

Although the same can be said for the attendances in many sports.
