Would have to agree with most of that. But, this game is a prep game for the real thing. They are re-settling after the 6-N. We all know that. Just dont tell the Brits or the Frogs.

Jury's out on MOC for me too man. But give him till the end of the season. I think he has refreshed it all. He likes getting the basics spot on. We are lacking somewhat in attack since the 2 x JS's  left.  

Thats was always going to happen. Give it time. Believe.

Rolland relieves his team from a bit of pressure

Rolland gives his team another three point opportunity...

Justice is done

Munster are doing well aganst the 6n champs.

And against the ref..

ME-109 wrote:Justice is done

It was. Just a pity Madigan couldnt capitalise after.

Anyone know why POM isn't playing

Varley starting to lose it , POC with a word to calm down

Nice half break from Jennings leaves TOD in his wake.

Momentum is with Leinster now.

Kilkoyne off to.

Deserved yellow, stupid play after getting a warning

ME-109 wrote:Anyone know why POM isn't playing

Just like Quinny & Wally were back in the day, scared of being man-shamed by Jenno? 

On todays evidence, I don't blame the Munster Trannies. Soft farmers. Bless em.

Not watching the game, but is Rolland really the ref?
If so how can that ever be allowed?
Shocking.

Thought Rolland rode Munster... again. And he ruined the game too.

POM massive loss. Stander nowhere near his level.

jeez. 6N champions only beat Munster by 4 at home?

i missed it. can i get a synopsis?

Not much to say really. Munster went 9 pts up, Leinster clawed them back with penalties. BOD got a try, Munster came back to within 1pt then Leinster got a penalty near the end for Munster crossing, which summed up the match.

Rolland had a so-so game, wet conditions made sure the game would never flow.

To be fair to him though, Munster were infringing all over the place at the breakdown. There were 1 or 2 occasions where I'm sure he even refrained from penalising them to prevent overkill. Varley didn't handle ref interaction very well at all either, not his fault with POM dropping out so late.

Good to see Zebo making more of a defensive effort. Him and McFadden had a good tussle.

I'll give ya a synopsis Quins, you trollope. We beat de Culchies. Again. We, are the best team on the Planet. Work it aaht Jon.   

Should have hammered the boggers/rednecks. Never in doubt.

Stander has been in munster too long. He has become lazy.

fixed that there gibbo..

missed the second half due to a previous commitment, so haven't seen the highlights. Based on the first half we had Rolland keeping the lady boys in the game and I presume in the second half he made the final pass for bods try...
he was atrocious...
anyhow good luck in Toulon

No POM it was never in doubt..

anyways, looking forwards to the qf's against the frenchies...best of luck to both.

That is only one of many excuses you had ready Dod?

Actually feels better to beet the boggers while only in 2nd gear.

Rolland used to play for Leinster.

Guns this is so funny. The weshmeath lad calling limerick/cork city folk boggers/rednecks. You are such a culchie/ mucksavage no matter the fact you went to clowngowes. It doesn't matter how much money daddy had/has or how you have had to have the audi/merc/bmw subbed by him or the mortgage (if you have one). You are still a wannabe of the worst kind...cant imagine what the answer would be if you asked for a heino in Mullingar..mooooo

Bad day in the pub Dod?

and the homer ref...

Any other anti-Munster conspiracy theories?

GunsGerms wrote:Bad day in the pub Dod?

not at all mucksavage..(wannabe D4 head)

Was a good game. What makes it sweeter was Munster gave it everything but didn't have the talent to beat a misfiring Leinster team. Almost ten years unbeaten at home to the boggers.

Did you get a part in Moone Boy..it seems appropriate

What were your thoughts on the game? Will Munster win a trophy in the next 10 years?

Munster rugby will disappear in 10 years as professionalism evolves, discuss. This is probably true I fear.

GunsGerms wrote:What were your thoughts on the game? Will Munster win a trophy in the next 10 years?

Don't know, have to look at the second half and see what influence Rolland had, twas bad enough in the first half. If we win next weekend then I wouldn't bet against us. WI be tough for leinster but I actually hope you win against those feicers. See you in the Aviva for the next round

Fair enough

GunsGerms wrote:Munster rugby will disappear in 10 years as professionalism evolves, discuss.

Nah..am sure we will be around..wasn't to long ago when a certain ladyboy team were playing in an ld vans game when we were in a HC semi..could be the same again this year

Would rather win an Amlin that lose a HC semi. 2nd is same as being last.

aim low enough and you never know what will happen. No one down here would give a flying f..k for an amlin...

You should that's the level you are at?!?

Are people from Cork second class citizens Dod?

GunsGerms wrote:You should that's the level you are at?!?

Based on recent history you are correct. Munster in the HC and leinster in the ld vans..

GunsGerms wrote:Are people from Cork second class citizens Dod?

how do you mean? All I know is the definition of a corkman with an inferiority complex...he thought he was the same as everyone else
