Could you imagine if Saint Pete had come on tonight and done what Baird did in the lineout? It would be wall to wall nauseating adulation.

Whatever about O'Connor, Shaggy was on Second Captains, also arguing that we shouldn't be allowed to sign Snyman. Apparently because we got to the final without him. A combination of self loathing and hypocrisy: Shaggy would have zero stars were it not for hired help in the form of Rocky, the Man f...

Makes no difference what team you send down, they can only beaten by the ref and their own errors. Then you have demographics and the D4meeja. Don't forget the advantage of private schools, which neglects to take account of the fact that (deep breath) Archer, Jager, Knox, Loughman, Ryan, Wycherly x...

Amazing

There are a couple of things that strike me about this story Firstly, itisn't a done deal yet, and until it is I'll be keeping my ass firmly attached. Next, it should also be remembered that he has a troubling injury profile and in his three years at Munster has played very little rugby for them. c...

We also have to get used to call him by his proper name. It is not "are jee" Snyman. All the lads at the World Cup (including Felix Jones) were calling him "air ghay" Snyman.

That said, I'm still not sure I can see this actually happening.

It is rare that an idiom is literally true. I have never seen an actual silver lining on a cloud. Most kitchens would welcome extra broth-makers. Something that doesn't kill you may actually weaken you.

But this is, for Munster folk, literally adding insult to injury.

the odds must be against us. Bookies currently have La Rochelle as 3 point favourites. I remember 2 matches in particular where we were written off by one and all. Toulouse away in 06 and Munster in Croker 09. I was very optimistic in 09. Couldn't believe the narrative before that one...Nd delighte...

Ah you see people stopped listening or reading Steve the gobshit jones a long time ago on here so that’s why there isn’t any vitriol about him anymore other than the odd post. All you say above is true and he had been playing that record for decades now. Gerry is like marmite - you like him or loat...

I'm writing a play about it

Hardly saw Henshaw all night. Either side of the ball. Sent from my SM-G990B using Tapatalk Assuming he’s fit, I’d pick Osborne at 12 next week. Robbie isn’t firing at the moment. Ngatai and Ringrose for me. I feel dirty for suggesting that Henshaw wouldn't be first choice but he's way off his best.

I really don't like initialisms in general but using existing initialisms for your own invented jargon terms really gets my goat.

CC? Who is going BCC?

Oh it's there but only the sender can see it.

Munster's inadequate level of horseplay has been ruthlessly exposed in the build up to this contest. Schrödinger's cat references would completely go over their heads. I guess you could only achieve our level of Ruggers banter by lifting 4 Heinomite Cups. After we leave the Aviva Stadium victorious...

Oh happy days oh happy days, Saturday evening won't be ruined by Frank Murphy !! 😀 I think we have a fairly poor record under Busby or at least we had! Under Frank we've played 12, won 6, lost 6 Under Busby we've played 6, won 3, lost 3 Having Frank immediately after Busby has proven difficult for ...

Ken Early (or Ken Burly?) sheepishly asking if Gary Ringrose is a second captain? Foorst captain, second captain, whatevahr.

Double post, sorry

I am on the hunt for two or three SEMI final tickets for Friday 20 October. Happy to pay full whack and a couple of pints in the Laighin Out.

Watching Toulon win anything is a cruel punishment for anyone who likes rugby I actually miss that Toulon side. It's nice to have a "panto villian" and plus a game between this Leinster side and that Toulon team would be pretty incredible. That's us now. Demographics, no salary, cap, not ...
