Do people not care that it’s a Category 4 stadium?

I wouldn't say so

Funny that you mention that. I have heard that they are possibly signing an IQ centre on an academy contract.
This is a smart move if true.

Unlucky kid, if true

Victor Matfield: “From Leinster’s point of view, they dominated last year, but didn’t win a trophy. That’s something Jacques can bring to them. He understands how to win trophies, how to win big games. That’s a mentality that can make Leinster just more powerful.”

A tad early, no?

I see Hogg is at it too: “But I’m absolutely knackered, I’m in too much pain that I can’t go outside. I’m like, ‘Enough is enough, family is my priority and rugby has started to become a job’.” – Scotland and Lions full-back Stuart Hogg speaking to RugbyPass on his decision to quit the game at only ...

This season for Munster was all about a move forward. Munster, after some considerable squad development over the last few seasons started the season with possibly the youngest squad that has ever competed in the URC. In addition to this, Munster started the season with a completely new coaching te...

it was Soroka. Brilliant news. Word was that he had agreed a contract down south. Just shows once again how desperate lads are to stay here and fight for their place, despite the depth of talent in the squad. We take the environment that's been created for granted. Very true and a credit to the Lei...

No love for the interviewer giving Ringer his man of the match award starting her interview saying "So the Munster machine.... sorry the Leinster machine rolls on....." ?

Jordi Murphy retiring at the end of the season

That's impressive on a number of levels.

From Alex Soroka’s interview in the independent today: “ My ambition is simple. I want to play for Leinster. I want to play for Ireland. I want to play for the Lions. I want to win trophies. I want what everyone wants.” Make of that what you will :shock: I really hope he stays. Apart from being qua...

Penny is a step up from O'Mahoney

Well if he's coming in as Irish eligible he's already got a bit of back tracking to do

Oh dear, oh dear. Can't wait to hear how he's buying into the jersey

I hope Teddy Thomas signed it as well, the cratur.

Was anyone ever poached from the Munster academy?

The42 Monday podcast is excellent. By far the most balanced, insightful and useful rugby podcast I listen too. Constantly breaking stories too. Some of Murray's analysis is top notch. Well worth 6 quid a month. Cost me €42 A year though, which is €3.50 a month. I generally think paying for “print” ...

What does this mean? Paddy Patterson, who has been given this particular nickname after his infamous interview. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is definitely worth a watch. Sure is! I'd actually forgotten that infamous media appearance. Fair f%~ks to 4 f%~ks!!! 😆😆😆😆 I assumed Avenger was referring t...

I think Ulster is a good draw for us. Sure there's the 'derby' element, but we know them well, we beat them regularly and there are lots of places we can attack them, particularly up front. Would far prefer Ulster than Montpellier for example. Post 6N the injury/form situation will be totally diffe...

I think it's great that the media feed the Munster Fanboy's with their glorious achievements like getting into the top eight in the URC and qualifying yet again for the knock out (ahem last 16) of the European Cup. The more they talk up the new coaching ticket bedding in and reference signs of "...
